    Another what should I do thread.... Caddy vs. GMC

    I was in a similar situation when looking to purchase a new vehicle, Denali vs Escalade. It came down to the wife liking the interior of the Escalade, she felt the Denali cockpit/console was too 'truck like' while the Escalade felt more refined based on the price. The interior was similar once...

    Should I purchase an Escalade?

    Got a brand new '17 escalade last year, blue with kona interior. Absolutely LOVE it, no problems, interior is quiet, ride is smooth, gear shifts are smooth and it looks phenomenal. Get one.

    3d Printing

    Happy to post the stl once I'm finished modeling the brackets, I'll post them on Thingivese and myminifactory and attach the link. I usually print in PETG and Tulman Nylon(for small parts); just ordered the carbon fiber filament for my new 3d printer and will start experimenting with this...

    3d Printing

    Fellow 3d printer here, and curious why you printed the parts in pla vs nylon or petg. Pla is not very strong and it could compromise the part it's supporting/holding. I haven't printed anything for my '17 escalade but am designing some brackets for the interior to hold my kid's tablets...

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    Not sure about any of us being dumb to pay these prices, it's what's on the market that we desire. Short of designing and building your own vehicle this is what's out there for the money we're willing to spend. The key is how much you can afford to spend, in our case we were saving for years so...

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    Im in Boston and have reached out to Goldcoast in NJ, Sewell in Dallas, and a couple of local dealers. All have the same attitude of not budging much off the msrp...very strange.

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    I offered 80k out the door on a model listed for 85k and you'd think I asked for their first born. These models are sitting on the lot and 18s are coming in, the dealers aren't budging. Fortunately, I'm in no hurry to purchase so I'll keep playing the waiting game.

    Looking to purchase this escalade, thoughts on price.

    Hi Folks, Looking to purchase this vehicle from Gold Coast in NJ and asked for their invoice, see attached I'm in Boston and they're quoting me an out-the-door price of $86,840 based on an invoice price of $80,010.46. Seeing that the 18's are hitting the lot, how much negotiating power do I...

    Denali vs Escalade life cycle cost

    Thanks for all the feedback, very informative and helps tremendously. I posted the same question on the escalade forum and received similar feedback. A few posts on the escalade forum mentioned the dealership experience relating to maintenance/servicing/misc. visits; the experience at the...

    Denali vs Escalade life cycle cost

    Hi folks, We're looking to purchase a new '18 and were looking at the Escalade Premium Luxury and a fully loaded Denali. Wife prefers the Escalade I like the Denali (not a huge fan of the interior cockpit, but it's not a deal breaker). We're looking to keep the vehicle for at least 10 years and...

    In-dash blu ray player?

    Howdy folks, Does anyone know if there's a quality in-dash blu-ray player for our Tahoes, mine's an 08 Z71 with Nav and Bose. Now before anyone chimes in on the quality of blu ray on a 7" screen, the only reason I want one is because our kids have all their movies on blu ray so we'd...

    08 Z71 Lifted brake recommendations

    Howdy folks, I've got a 08 Z71 that's got the CCM lift with BFG 285-65-18 and wanted to do a brake upgrade since the stock brakes are almost done. I'm on a budget and would like to get recommendations for brake and rotor upgrade. Much appreciated, O2bwln

    Stacked leveling kits

    Please don't stack leveling kits. The fact that you're introducing ridiculous amounts of shear forces to these locations every time you turn, not to mention the stress that is being channeled to your mounting points will end in a very ugly mess. Save your money, get a legitimate lift and don't...

    Storage locker info needed.

    Howdy fellas, I've got a 08 Z71 and needed info on where to get a decent storage option for the rear. I have a 150lb German Shepherd that shares the space with a duffel bag full of tools, but now that we have a newborn he has to share the space with the baby stroller, the bag and various other...

    Cost of 30k tuneup?

    Thanks for the info guys, you just saved me A LOT of money. I really do appreciate your feedback. I'll be getting my regular servicing done and not the 30k 'tuneup'. Thanks, O2bwln

    Cost of 30k tuneup?

    Howdy folks, I've got a 2008 Z71 that's finally hit its 30k mark, I called the dealer to set up the 30k tuneup and he quoted me $689. Is that normal or should I be looking somewhere else for this. Also, if I take it somewhere else, can the dealer use it against me if there is a problem...

    Whining noise in the radio

    I agree with NoChrome, but, I also realized that my lockpicks harness wires were quite loose and would cause the whining. I taped them up tight and now I don't have that issue. It worked for me maybe it'll work for you. Good luck, O2bwln

    Rear camera intermittently works

    I ordered the lockpick w/o that option, didn't want to spring for the top-of-the-line lockpick. So it's definately not that. Thanks, O2bwln

    Rear camera intermittently works

    Hi folks, My 2008 z71's rear camera seems to want to work when it feels like it. I've had a locpick installed for over a year now and only recently has the camera been acting up when I put it in reverse? Anyone have similar experiences or care to share any thoughts? Thanks, O2bwln

    Gm Lockpick anyone

    I've got the lockpick in my 08 z71 and love it. Note that the new NAV DVD ver.4 is having problems with the lockpick and to the best of my knowledge Coastaltech has not addressed this issue. So if you don't have the new version 4.0 dvd Lockpick is a great mod. I installed mine in about 15...
