    Oil Leak - 2015 GMC Yukon

    No, I mean it’s almost always the oil pan. Are you sure you cleaned it properly? Are you sure you didn’t scrape any off putting the pan back up? It’s very easy to do, especially on the oil pump.

    Arnott Passive vs. Active Mageneride Replacement: Am I understanding tradeoffs correctly?

    Funny enough, an ad for this web site just popped up on FB. The prices seem pretty reasonable, too. Comes all assembled and with a module to turn off any lights. I’d honestly love to try that Fox 2.0 setup but my shocks are fine…. https://www.magdelete.com/collections/all

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    Oh, yeah the green plug is the internal mode switch (IMS), those are the same. You need to swap the sensor assembly in the second picture, the two black sensors with the wire running between them and then connected to the TEHCM.

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    I’m not sure I remember there being a green housing? Do you have a picture?

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    No. You need to use the entire 2012 valve body but you need to use the 2007 speed sensor assembly that is attached to the valve body.

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    The calibrations change almost yearly. You HAVE to use the correct TEHCM and valve body for your year but the rest of the transmission is the “same.” The 07 transmission will have the old design pump cover and 1-2-3-4 drum but as long as they’re matched, I think it’ll work. I’m not an expert...

    07 Escalade 6L80 into 12 Escalade - swapping 2012 valve body/TCM into the 2007 6L80

    It should work if you swap the valve body and TEHCM but you need to use the speed sensor assembly from the 07. You’re loosing all the updated parts the 12 has compared to the 07 but I guess you don’t really care.

    Arnott Passive vs. Active Mageneride Replacement: Am I understanding tradeoffs correctly?

    I don’t know that my description will to terribly helpful since I have an 08 but they felt pretty similar to the stock Auto Ride, which is great, but at the same time, I like the Auto Ride on the 900 and didn’t want to deal with the delete for it to feel similar when I had already replaced all...

    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    Clear coat failure looks like scratches to a lot of people. It is a much bigger deal than it sounds, you have to sand it down to bare metal to get through everything bad or it’ll just fail again. Wrapping it is a cheaper option but not really once the doors fail.

    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    I would pass if the paint is failing. It will get real bad real quick and the only way to fix it is to take it down to bare metal, which is a massive amount of labor. Hardly anywhere will do a complete paint job any more. It cost me $5k to get the hood and roof taken to bare metal and repainted...

    Arnott Passive vs. Active Mageneride Replacement: Am I understanding tradeoffs correctly?

    The K2 trucks are already quite rough, especially the 15 and 16 and more so with Magride. They handle better because of it but I think it was a bad choice GM made to do that because it isn’t a race car, it’s a road trip machine. I love the Auto/Magride on the GMT-900 but I would absolutely...

    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    You need better tire shine then. Any good tire shine will not sling a few minutes after application. Try Adam’s Graphene and apply with an applicator.

    2017 Escalade/Denali L86 "requires" 93 octane - your experience?

    Spark knock will happen the most when cruising under slight load anyway.

    2017 Escalade/Denali L86 "requires" 93 octane - your experience?

    Uhh, ok. You can’t tell the difference between an engine designed for towing (torque, lower compression ratio) and an engine designed for performance (power, higher compression ratio)? They have completely different use purposes, you seem like a smart guy, it shouldn’t be hard to figure out...

    2017 Escalade/Denali L86 "requires" 93 octane - your experience?

    You can’t write a fuel table that works perfectly in all areas of the country, in different weather conditions, with different fuel additives. Once again, if the little difference in the price of fuel is that big of deal, don’t buy the high line vehicle. An engine costs $12k, why would you risk...

    Oil Leak - 2015 GMC Yukon

    It’s almost always the oil pan. It could be the rear main but I’ve only seen a few so far. Are you sure you cleaned it properly?

    2017 Escalade/Denali L86 "requires" 93 octane - your experience?

    I can guarantee anyone running 87 octane has spark knock that they either cannot hear because they don’t know what it sounds like or the ECM is pulling the timing so much to mitigate the knock and the cost of power. Why buy the 6.2L if $5-$10 extra per fill up to keep your engine safe is an...

    2008 GMC Yukon Denali - Stay away?

    07-09 are the way to go if the truck is in good shape. The paint looks good in your picture and that’s a big deal because the XL is a lot to paint if the paint fails. Everything else can be fixed but most people are very averse to spending money on a car they just bought but I don’t see how you...

    What did I miss? Since when I buying from a private seller whom is providing service history a bad thing?

    Saginaw Michigan - Service a 2008 Hybrid Yukon?

    You have a death wish working on HV with no PPE, unprotected tools, or tools wrapped in electric tape. I don’t say this lightly, but you are a moron. It is a big deal. The internet is not going the wrong way telling people to be safe.

    Pirelli AS plus 3 vs Michelin Defenders LTX M/S

    There are other changes. Per Tire Rack, the new tire has improved traction, handling dynamics, and steering feel. I have a set of each and I also think the new version rides a little bit better. I think the new one looks less “old truck tire,” which seems to be the only complaint people can find...

    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    127k isn’t high for a 13. Mine has 187k. I do agree though, the condition is what matters the most and if it’s nice, I’d pay for it. You’ll spend more on repairs and more of your time dealing with cleaning or fixing and it isn’t worth saving a little. I should have passed on the 13 I bought...

    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    I honestly do not understand why premium fuel is such a dealbreaker for people when you’re buying an expensive vehicle. It usually costs $5-$10 more per fill up depending on how low I let it get. Big deal. A Starbucks costs more than the difference between regular and premium. $10 more to...

    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    They are garbage. Once you buy Michelins, you’ll know just how bad they are. I used a set of the Dueler Alenza to test fit some wheels and that garbage came right back off the next morning. I thought my truck was going to roll over on the highway entrance ramp.

    2007 escalade high beams

    They are Bi-Xenon. One bulb does both.
