    A Few Upgrades

    This weekend I spent polishing and buffing. I know I’m not a professional at this, and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. I’ve been pretty happy with this project journey. Now I have to decide whether to leave it with no emblems or to put emblems back.

    Who has the most miles on their 07-14 SUV?

    Mine has mostly highway miles for most of its life. A lot of highway miles. I think this what helped the truck. Plus being meticulous about oil changes.

    Who has the most miles on their 07-14 SUV?

    I am at 236k miles. AFM and original trans. Another way to look at this how many Engine hours are showing?. My 07 has 3,051.4 hours. My average miles per hour is 77.47. Not sure if that is good or bad. My truck has lived the majority of its life on the highway. What's everyones mileage/engine hours?

    Heater Hose Replacment

    Sorry everyone, it was late last night when I made that post. I finished the job that same day with all new hoses. I was only down for the day. I wanted to get my Burb back up and running quickly. All new hoses installed. Some scratched up knuckles later.

    Heater Hose Replacment

    I noticed coolant dripping on my AC compressor. The heater hose is very complex with a plastic t connector that developed a stress crack. I initially thought I had a bad thermostat . This is 19 year old plastic and it was really hard to see. One side goes to the firewall to the heater core, one...

    Engine Build

    I’m planning on rebuilding another 5.3 to have ready for when the time comes to swap. My 07 has the LY5 cast iron block. Im going to start with a short block and work on building the bottom end first. Are 5.3’s from the 2000-2006 similar? I’m looking at a short block from an 05 for $100.

    Replaced Thermostat

    The one I replaced it with didn't giggle. It was fixed. After replacing and refilling with two gallons of Dexcool, all is well now.

    Replaced Thermostat

    So my 2007 suburban was running hot for a few days. I noticed that the temperature was not steady at the 210 mark, but at the 235 mark. The notch to the right of the 210 mark. So I went and bought myself a new thermostat, and replaced the thermostat. The old thermostat has that little nipple...

    A Few Upgrades

    I’m gonna make this the last post that I do for this thread. My goal for this was to just make the Suburban look just a little bit better with a nice coat of paint to refresh it up a bit. I didn’t go through and fix all the little minor door dings here and there, I only took care of the ones...

    Escalade/Esky Full LED 3rd Brake Light Conversion

    I myself have been really skeptical and hesitant to purchase aftermarket headlights because I’m not sure how long they would last.

    A Few Upgrades

    There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint on your ride. I am by no means a master painter, but I did it myself. Maaco wanted $3500 to paint my truck. That was motivation enough to tackle the project. https://www.gregshawphotography.com/suburban-paint

    Escalade/Esky Full LED 3rd Brake Light Conversion

    Does anyone know if there are Escalade third brake lights for sale that illuminate the whole brake light? I picked up my brake light off of an escalator from the junkyard, and it only lights up just the middle, and not the whole thing. I see some brake lights on Amazon that lights up the whole...
