Did the magneride delete with Arnott setup, here is a full run down
Kudos to the OP who nailed his review of the Arnott kit. I too grew tired of replacing the magnerides every 30-50k miles (GM gonna GM!!!) and found the reviews of the system here last summer. It's been over a year and 30K and I'm very satisfied with the changeover. Like the OP said, you might...- keg97

What is Magna ride?
Sorry but this is a simplistic response. It's not the price. I have vehicles that cost significantly more than our Escalade. I'm not cheap but I'm not going to throw good money after bad. I always put premium in for gas. I typically use the dealer for servicing to ensure it's done according...- keg97

What is Magna ride?
I'd say it's a money pit!!! It's nice when it works but the shocks are pricey and not durable. I've changed over to a regular suspension on m Escalade ESV and really don't notice a difference. Unless you count the improvement from driving on a near frozen magnaride shock!- keg97

Do you get what you pay for in Tires
I realize $ is $ and every dollar saved is worthwhile and can be spent elsewhere. General is well known and a respected mid-tier tire vendor. But they are mid-tier. But this sticks with me....what is the only thing connecting you to the road? The 4 tires. Don't cheap out. You see how... -

Good performance tires that don’t wear a lot?
I drive my '15i very aggressively and have been super impressed with the Defender LTX's. 1 year and 28K later and they look and feel new. -

Would you buy it?
Any accident is not an immediate rule out to me. Airbags or several K in damage- yup. But a simple fender bender is not a concern.- keg97

How to tell Battery is going bad?
Built in warning? I don't recall that warning when my battery went 3 years ago.- keg97

How to tell Battery is going bad?
I haven't seen much on starters on these rigs going. Mine's a '15i with only 118K so I'd be disappointed if a starter went that early.- keg97

How to tell Battery is going bad?
Not quite that slow but not far off. Looking back, I had to get a new battery just over 3 years into owning it. Now i'm due for another one just over 3 years later. I sense a pattern! I'll get a new one at Costco this week. Thanks all!- keg97

Would you buy it?
Those last two are not as nicely optioned but much lower mileage. Those seem like much better deals than almost 50K for a rig with over 100K on it.- keg97

How to tell Battery is going bad?
How can you tell the battery is going? I've got a 3 year old battery and it seems to hesitate a split second before turning over? We are gliding into winter in the Mid-Atlantic and I don't want to get caught stranded. The battery is consistently showing high 13's/low 14's on the dashboard...- keg97
