    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    If you use a cheaper brand brake pad, this CAN happen. As stated, I use Akebono. I thought that it was high quality enough for me to step down from ASP to ACT, but that is exactly what caused it, and it even kept creaking after I reinstalled with some old ASP rear brake pads that I had laying...

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    I personally had this issue, and it drove me up the wall. The rear brakes sounded like the old squeaky floorboard of a 200 year old house. I had even taken everything apart, lubed it up, made sure everything was functioning properly, bled the brake system, and it STILL was noisy. What was the...

    2020 Tahoe Premier Smash or Pass?

    Word of advice/caution: if the transmission was not serviced using the severe maintenance schedule, it's a hard PASS. It's not enough to do it right this second; 89k is too far gone and it should have had at least 2 transmission fluid/filter changes by this time. Ask me how I know: I just...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    That's just crazy. I guess it was never maintained.

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    Final update: Got my truck back yesterday. Engine oil leak was fixed, radiator flushed, trans cooler lines flushed and checked for leaks, and new transmission installed. As for the issue: shuddering is completely eliminated. New transmission shifts slightly hard very rarely, but that's most...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they pressure tested the radiator and transmission cooler, and found no fault, leaks, or any blockages in the cooling system. They recommended to leave the radiator alone. I have it in writing, so if anything happens, it will be on them. Transmission was pulled, and while they are at...

    2020 Tahoe suddenly stuck in 4WD

    2019 Escalade ESV here. I've been driving in 4Auto for 100k miles. I change my front diff fluid religiously, and haven't had it fail. I just prefer driving in this mode, because I find it WAY TOO EASY to spin out the rear when driving in 2WD, even on dry pavement! I can almost do burnouts when...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they've had my transmission since the 8th, even though I've been reaching out to them constantly via email and phone. :rolleyes: I just dropped it off with them, and told them to check the radiator, cooler lines (as they insisted there was nothing wrong with it), but I have an email...

    I feel a clunk from a stop.

    Like everyone said, it's the engine mount. 99% chance that's what it is. It's a DIY job, I did mine myself. Just be prepared to get really dirty and do acrobatics.

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Do you advise changing the transmission cooler lines or can those be reused?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Genuinely curious, what do you mean by ATF side tank? Here is the radiator in mine. It has the transmission cooler integrated. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7003432&cc=3442504&pt=2172&jsn=1508

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Ok, so just trying to understand. 1. If I am not replacing the radiator, bypass the internal transmission cooler and install my own radiator/cooler for the new transmission. 2. If I want to continue to use the cooler internal to the radiator, replace it. Did I get that right?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Are we saying that it is common for the radiator to leak? What happens in this case, does coolant mix with ATF and destroy the transmission? Wouldn't I see some evidence of this in the transmission fluid?

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    The transmission was $10k. I don't have another $1k just lying around to further spend on this entire ordeal. I did ask them to flow test the current radiator and cooler lines to ensure no blockage. If I have to shell out another $1k to protect my $10k investment, I'll have to figure it out...
