    Sustained ticking 70+mph

    So my 02 suburban with 356,000 miles runs very well. It's been maintained and serviced. New rear main/pan gasket/valve cover gaskets.

    Are Escalade EXT and Avalanche seats the same?

    I'm an upholstery shop. If you want, I can help. The seats are the same. The avalanche has fold down rears. Is it an escalade ext? I can get you a kit for less than katzkin too.

    Hurts Taking One Like This

    It sounds like the flex plate is either cracked or a bolt has loosened up. St least take the inspection cover off, and look to see if that's the case.

    2021 Suburban Towed to Dealer After Software Update

    That's why I only drive old turds. 02 burb. Super clean. Well maintained. 342k miles. Goes anywhere without worrying about electro-digicals crapping out. These new cars today are not worth the scrap their made from. Sorry your having trouble man.
