To everyone who recommended the pressure bleeder, thank you! It's a game changer for brake bleeds. I've never had such stubborn air in the system before, and this just took care of it like it was nothing. I'm happy to report that nothing is wrong, there was just air still in the system after all...
I did on my GMT800s, but on my GMT900 it looks like I didn't need to. I still bought some just in case, but didn't end up using them. You can find some 9/16 flat washers at home depot or ace hardware that you can get as a backup though in case you might need to.
Yeah, here's the GM PN for both.

I got mine from some dude off Facebook that I bought my other 2 sets from and they've always been good. Rockauto has them for around 100 each plus core charge. It comes from a 2020 Silverado 5.3L...
Thanks for the recommendations, I was definitely looking to pick up a Motive pressure bleeder after this Fiasco. I tried using the Vacuum bleeder but it didn't work too well because of spacing and I couldn't get my hands in a way to make it work, but I've used it on other stuff before. Pressure...
I DID put them on backwards, I moved them to the right sides and went to bleed the brakes again in all 4 corners just to be sure. The first 3 corners were fine, but once I got to the driver's front corner, it just kept spitting air out of it nonstop. I hit the caliper with a hammer, bled the...
You and j91z28d1 mentioned it, but I'll also check the orientation of the bleeder valve because that might be it. I got this used set of rotors off a dude on FB Marketplace so who knows if he even gave me one of each side. Appreciate the help and will update once I check them out!
I Did see that, but didn't really understand how air could've gotten trapped there if my reservoir was full the entire time. Either way, it's simple enough to do and a fair point so I'll try that.
Hi everyone, I recently upgraded the front brakes of my 08 Escalade EXT to the 2020 Silverado 4 piston brakes. I've done this swap twice on my GMT800s with no issues, however when I did it to my GMT900 Escalade EXT, the brakes get squishy once I turn on the engine. I bled the brakes as normal...
Of course! New tires and alignment will be done after the drop. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it in 1 day on the weekend, but we'll see. I'm going to measure the height and determine if the 4" or 3" drop would get me level, but either way the rear doesn't seem very hard to do thankfully.
Finally was able to order the kit. I'm going to install it this weekend if all the parts come in on time. I'll be sure to update with before and after pics.
Thanks for the response. I'll try to address everything you mentioned.
1. As far as trimming the bump stops, I believe the kit comes with shorter ones so it shouldn't be a problem. They are 2.75" instead of the OEM 4".
2. I think I'll keep the drop to just 3" and not use the 4" option it comes...
Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about purchasing a 2 - 3/4 front rear drop kit from belltech but I have questions to make sure everything is compatible.
1. Can I use Bilstein 4600s or 5100s with the Belltech kit? It comes with shock extenders I believe , but I'm not sure if it'll work.
2. Are the...
Crutchfield helped me out and i feel so dumb lol. The interface box was fine, but the Kicker amp i was using had the amp 2 (rear speaker) gain set at 0 so no sound was coming out. It's all good now! Thanks everyone.
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2004 Tahoe with the UQ3 Audio system (No Bose, No Onstar). I installed a new radio, and only have sound from the 4 speakers in the front, no sound coming from the second row. The rear speakers do have sound when the factory radio is plugged in. I've researched, this for...
