    Ah, of course! That makes sense to me. Thank you for enlightening me.

    @Marky Dissod That's a neat story, with a few lessons. So the V4 saved you during the overheat, maybe it knew something and felt bad? Lol. Do you attribute the oil consumption to V4?

    Gotta ask, why did you do that? ^^^ Good point about half the engine wearing at a different rate too. I would really like to get it tuned, but right now my bank account says get the Chinesium dongle...[sad chuckle]

    A Few Upgrades

    Shaving the door guards is super clean! I also have a soft spot for the color. My 97 is a similar color and I've always liked it on the NNBS. Please update when you add the Denali rack.

    Broken connector on intake side for pcv hose

    Whoa, I just replaced that line last week and it was tight for me too. If it was my truck, I would seriously think about using silicone caulk, the high heat variety, with the standard oring. The caulk is the new seal, it goes on the manifold surface and up and around the pcv tube end. Make sure...

    An Emergency "Get Home Checklist" for Our GMT900s Would Be Useful, IMO

    Hey thanks for the reply on the old thread! You said "A proper diagnosis and fix would be out-of-scope for this checklist..." I think that's what I was cryptically referring to. That type of list is what I was going for, to a degree. What can be/cannot be fixed on the side of the road or in a...

    An Emergency "Get Home Checklist" for Our GMT900s Would Be Useful, IMO

    @B-train That's why I have a kit. If it came down to good looks I'd be screwed!! Maybe the cops would be called and I could get a ride then! Props for the comp and impact gun! I actually don't own a sufficient one so I go the leverage and heat route. Which reminds me to find my missing...

    Thanks, I will check it out! Some of the threads are so long it's a real time investment to wade through them...

    @j91z28d1 They look pretty good...I think? Not really sure what to look for besides broken rubber. I'm not noticing any of the classic symptoms. It moves a little when it's idling and you have someone hit the gas. I thought that was normal movement. I did have a bit of a bouncy idle, but when...

    2013 Escalade Hybrid - AFM disabling recommended?

    @Marky Dissod This is a very interesting comment. So there are no downsides in your mind to disabling? Even with a knock off China dongle? (No emissions tests here) I've searched, not too hard, but never really got an overwhelmingly obvious answer. Also, see my comment above about weird...

    2013 Escalade Hybrid - AFM disabling recommended?

    @tengelman I have been wanting to do an afm disable too. I was also going to go the dongle route. I had the occasional habit of running it in M5 instead of D, because the afm does not engage until 6th gear. This was mostly around the neighborhood, I would shift up for higher speeds. And, I...

    An Emergency "Get Home Checklist" for Our GMT900s Would Be Useful, IMO

    This is a great idea. I had always wanted to throw in a battery box but put tools in it ..like the factory storage box in my 97 Burb. I tried, the old box will not fit in that battery spot... But now I'll have to think about your setup!!

    @Scrappycrow Long reply, hang in there... I really like this idea. I don't know why it gets so much hate (not just here). Doing/having something is way better than nothing. I'm here because I want to do that exact thing you didn't; throwing a good tool set in for any trip over 1 hour. Target...
