    Larger Battery Possible?

    I'm looking to replace my 4 year old battery before winter sets in and was wondering if anyone had installed a larger battery in place of the small stock size. I searched but for some reason come up with too many results to be practical. Anyway, I'm wondering about installing an H7 group...

    Shorty headers to replace rusted/rotted stock manifolds. Anyone done it?

    Ok so my new to me 07 Escalade has a small exhaust leak on the driver side manifold. The stock manifolds look pretty rough so I'm figuring on replacing them with shorty headers since I'll need to take them off anyway. The limited research I've done seems to point to Gibson headers. Anyone...

    How to identify torsion bars?

    Not much luck searching the net as I don't see a GM part number on mine. I just finished rebuilding my front suspension on the Escalade and the ride is much, much better but something still feels lacking, it should ride like a brand new truck but still has something uneven in the front end...

    Front Shock Extenders - How do you mount these things?

    I've got two sets of shock extenders for my Escalade, one set came with the ReadyLift key kit, the other came with some other suspension parts I ordered awhile back. Got one side of the truck finished but the shock extenders (neither pair) are wide enough to fit over the lower shock mount...

Anyway, I grabbed the torque specs from the...

    Differential Rebuilding In The NoVA Area?

    Looks like I'm going to need a front differential rebuild soon. Lots of junk on the drain plug and vehicle seems to drag on and off as I'm driving it. I talked to my local shop today to find out who they use to rebuild differentials or if they do it in-house and was told that nobody in the...

    Sloppy/Loose Steering Fixed!

    Surprisingly I didn't find much info on this forum about correcting for sloppy steering so I figured I'd add a post for those of you wanting to try to correct this problem that plagues so many of us. When I purchased my Escalade in January of this year it had a problem with sloppy steering...

    Weird A/C Behavior After Changing Battery.

    I had a weak battery in my 05 Escalade and swapped it out last night. Prior to that all was normal. The first time I drove it today the car was really hot inside. I turned the AC system to the dash vents and found the heater was running. Turning the digital climate controls from 60 to 90 and...
