    Escalade Questions

    That's what I'm starting to wonder. Wondering what the distance from the bottom of the hitch receiver to the ground is on someone who is running a factory setup for comparison Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

    Escalade Questions

    I don't think they lowered it however they previously converted the front to Sunoco standard and it looks like they might have been adjusted up to level the front Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

    Escalade Questions

    This is the part number on the rear coil springs 25783731 I originally ordered a set of MOOG that were apparently the heavy duty part for Tahoe but they looked so dainty and weak that i sent them back and ran with these that were in it. I hope I can figure out what I'll need to get rid of this...

    Escalade Questions

    09 Escalade I have a couple questions (I'm becoming frustrated and discouraged) Recently I did some work (new front brakes, new CV axle, new wheel bearing hub) and while I was at it I switched the rear to Bilstein 5100 shocks. Looked like it already has new coil springs in the rear so I left...

    09 Escalade Rear Suspension

    I'm looking at the bilstein 5100 for the rears and Tahoe AC Delco heavy duty springs. The front has already previously been converted. I will still need to find the resistors I'll need for the back. Will this set up for the rear net a raise? I'm looking at getting a heavy metal brand lift kit...

    09 Escalade Rear Suspension

    I think I definitely am leaning towards switching the rear to a standard suspension. I don't know enough at all about air ride to feel confident in tracking down and fixing any future problems. I mostly only tow a 12' utility trailer with a UTV several times a year. I hope that would be alright...

    09 Escalade Rear Suspension

    Air pumps never came on ever. Once I started noticing the ride height not going up under load I took a look. One of them looks like this. (Pic) Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

    09 Escalade Rear Suspension

    I've got an 09 Escalade and shortly after I bought it last winter I kept getting Service Suspension System message. I still get it today. Noticed after some time when I started using it to pull loads that the back suspension wasn't engaging and filling the bags. Now it seems something has gotten...

    09 Escalade Rear Air Suspension

    My rear suspension isn't functioning properly, and it's starting to drive me nuts. I have owned the Escalade for a few months and previous owner had converted the fronts to traditional suspension and also replace rear compressors. I noticed the first time i towed something a few weeks ago the...

    2009 Escalade

    Back to confirm (seems I forgot about everything while I was out of town) I believe there is water coming in at the point at the top of the windshield, although I can't get the pictures to load from previous poster. Is there a fix to this spot? I have also noticed I think there is water...

    2009 Escalade

    Here's photos of the driver's side and passenger side. It looks like both seals are there and good shape. When I looked at the ice build up previously, it was directly below where the hood and windshield meet area. Two of the pictures which are hard to see are looking into the front fender and...

    2009 Escalade

    Hey all Thanks for the replies and info. I just got home from being on vacation and finally got back "online". I'll snap some pictures after work. We finally came outta the deep freeze and the issue of checking the suspension system has went away. I really appreciate all the help to my...

    2009 Escalade

    Also, regarding the heat/blower issue I wanted to clarify The heat does get warm after a while of driving. The issue seems to me that it is not blowing it out with much force. Hence, the windshield taking forever to thaw/defrost, my feet always being frozen while driving, and basically having...

    2009 Escalade

    Now I'm wondering what seal you are talking about To me it looks like all the seals are good (at face value) It would explain a lot if this is being caused by seals that are missing. But I'm not sure what exactly to look at to make sure that is not the case Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

    2009 Escalade

    Here's inside the driver's door jam Barely got a dusting of freezing drizzle last night and this is the amount of accumulation I'm dealing with. Passenger side door is basically similar about. Back two doors also get accumulation, just not this much but enough to freeze the doors shut. Sent...
