    Finally notched my frame

    Trust me, leave it the way it is. The problems become inevitable once you go any lower. My truck looked cool to everyone else but it was a constant headache trying to make me not hate it. I didn’t realize how bad it really was until I bought a stock Escalade

    Will a lithium battery ruin my alternator?

    Every single part of this is BAD info. I don’t even know where to begin with dissecting it but every single point is false

    Question about negative battery cable

    mine has been unplugged for over 7 years. It just defaults the charging voltage to ~14v rather than dropping voltage into the 11’s while not under load

    [SOLVED] Escalade Swaying at high speeds

    Rear shocks are most likely blown

    Installing the front struts on the bottom of the a frame to dropped it down a 1". Anyone else know about this?

    Don’t spread false info. No one has ever had a quality bolt fail when flipping their struts Grade 9 and higher bolts are stronger than the aluminum control arms themselves so you’re telling me that no one should ever drive their truck because their control arms are brittle and weak?

    2013 Yukon Denali AWD Need help with Adjustable Air Ride Suspension to clear 30” Wheels…

    Lift spacers have zero effect on ride quality. Ride tech struts are going to ride like dog doodoo with them overinflated to get the lift you want The ride quality is 100% in the tires, not the suspension

    Lowered with [subs] system? Im curious

    A single 15 shouldn’t change anything at all, unless the lowering springs are absolutely junk. Even 2 big 15’s shouldn’t really change much This is what happens when you have a 6 15 wall. Turns a 6” drop spring into a 10” drop lol

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    The shock is still load bearing because the spring is constantly putting downward pressure on the control arm, which the shock is bolted to

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    You might have to try one of the off brands on eBay. Someone said the good brands are a little stiffer so I’d try something cheap first and the bag should help stiffen it up

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    Yup. Run a helper bag in them though because they have a softer spring rate. Air Lift 60742 is the part number for a 6” drop spring

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    You don’t need to tub the rear unless you’re running a 10” wide wheel with a giant tire. chrome is a 28x10 +15 and it hit on the outside, not the inside. Also had 26’s with a 295/30/26 and it didn’t rub at all.

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    Despite what everyone who’s never done it has said, 5/7 drop is extremely simple aside from the c-notch part Front there’s a ton of ways to achieve 5” Belltech drop struts flipped to the bottom of the control arm with stock spring, DJM upper arms and drop spindles is what I did with zero...

    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    @NickTransmissions my 2008 6l80e operates perfectly when the trans temp is under 150°. The second temps on the gauge go over 150, I lose reverse, and 3rd and 5th gear slips like the truck is in neutral. As soon as they drop back below 150°, everything returns back to shifting smooth and all...

    Random no hear front and rear

    Temps dropped about 30° overnight (12° this morning) and suddenly I have no heat front or rear. Any ideas on what would cause this? Coolant level is fine. It’s very confusing that both worked last night and now this morning neither front or back work

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    In my opinion, if you’re ordering something custom, I’d go like 35mm up front and like 30mm in the rear. That also depends on how small of a tire you can run This is a x10 13mm offset with a 275/25/28 just for reference. The fronts would stick out way past the stock fender

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    This is with a 295/30/26. Front fenders are pulled. Rears have the fender lip cut off. Not sure how much you’re lowered but this is pretty much the extreme as far as static with big wheels goes. Wheels hit the firewall pretty hard and made it a nightmare to make even somewhat tight turns

    26x10 or 26x10.5 on lowered suburban. What offset/et

    On stock suspension, any x10 should be fine. 10.5 might be okay in the back with a smaller tire. If you’re lowered more than like 3/4, you’ll most likely get into rubbing issues up front This is a 26x10 +31 with a 305/30/26

    Belltech Shock Replacement

    You are going to spend BIG money on something that rides only marginally better than those. How are you lowered up front? If you took out any rings, you could flip the strut to the bottom of the control arm and add rings back to get shock travel

    Lowest static GM suv

    Scored a 08 Escalade about a year ago. Rebuilt the engine and put the PPV brakes on it. Been dying to pick up something that gets better MPG but the wife doesn’t like driving in small cars so I’m just sticking this out for now

    Headlight mystery help

    If I have another issue and messing with the fuses doesn’t fix it, I’m going to switch to LED’s and run all new wiring to a different switch. I’m back to working 60 hour weeks so I really don’t have time to keep pulling the bumper and messing with chasing down electrical issues

    Headlight mystery help

    Wild conclusion. I never in a million years thought it would be a fuse with the way the lights were going on and off originally then worked fine for a while. Well I was bored and checked the fuses. Both look fine but I NEVER trust how a fuse looks. Decided to switch them to see if the problem...
