    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    I honestly do not understand why premium fuel is such a dealbreaker for people when you’re buying an expensive vehicle. It usually costs $5-$10 more per fill up depending on how low I let it get. Big deal. A Starbucks costs more than the difference between regular and premium. $10 more to...

    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    They are garbage. Once you buy Michelins, you’ll know just how bad they are. I used a set of the Dueler Alenza to test fit some wheels and that garbage came right back off the next morning. I thought my truck was going to roll over on the highway entrance ramp.

    2007 escalade high beams

    They are Bi-Xenon. One bulb does both.

    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    You probably shouldn’t even have your Tahoe if modern “fancy systems” bother you so much. The K2 Tahoe and Escalade aren’t that much different under the skin. Pretty much everything has had electronic throttle bodies since the early to mid 2000’s. “Manual” AC has not been manual since then...

    05 Yukon Denail Got Broken Into

    Wow. I didn’t think thieves would bother trying to steal these any more since they aren’t really worth much any more.

    K2 no longer has full time AWD. They have an auto 4WD selection, but it is a bad idea to use it on dry pavement.

    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    The Escalade can have a trailer brake controller if the option was picked, all of them have a 2” receiver, the 6.2L will tow significantly better, the 8 speeds don’t need the torque converter replaced, you can manually select gears. I’m not sure why you think an Escalade would be less capable...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    Very few GM parts are made in China. Most of GM’s parts are made in Mexico now. Any aftermarket replacement part is of lesser quality than the OEM part, no matter where it’s made. That’s why the parts are cheaper.

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    Cam and lifters aren’t actually that common and transmissions don’t last forever on any brand but leaks, shocks, and engine mounts are definitely wear items that should be expected with pretty much all cars. EVAP problems are common as well. My friend has a Lexus that the transmission is on its...

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    You think these fall apart at 150k? Maybe if they were completely neglected but the 900s can easily go 300k if cared for. I don’t see how you expect any vehicle to go the distance if you don’t ever spend any money on it. Even Toyotas and Hondas break.

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I’m used to power. My cammed 08 Escalade is probably one of the slower vehicles I’ve owned, I want to supercharge it. Regardless, when we’re comparing the 900 or the newer generations that make more power and have more gears to keep the engine in the powerband better, it is definitely...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I will say, if you’re trading a GMT-900 Chevy or GMC SLT, there is probably much more to like about the K2 compared to coming from a Yukon Denali and especially an Escalade. I couldn’t own a 900 Chevy because the 5.3L is very underpowered, all the cheap rubber interior parts, and how noisy they...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    Yes, they should all be replaced at 100k.

    8L90 at wits end

    The dealer isn’t giving you the runaround. All normal. The 8L90 is hot garbage.

    WTB: 07-14 6.2L Corsa Touring Muffler

    If anyone has a Corsa Touring muffler for a 07-14 6.2L, I’d like to buy one.
