    Upholstery shop in MN - cover dash in leather

    Wondering if anyone has any upholstery shop recommendations in MN that can cover my dash in leather? I'd add a few other trim items as well, but want to update the interior.

    What steering wheels could be reasonably easy swaps?

    Obviously I know I can look for a Platinum steering wheel for my Escalade, but would prefer something that feels more sporty. Ideally a ZL1 wheel or the like. A bonus would be real paddles that I can wire to the 6L80 for shifting. Two concerns. 1st is the physical will it bolt up and the...

    Steering wheel swap with CTS-V? Or newer Escalade? or...

    I've got a 2010 Escalade. Not a big fan of my steering wheel. Wondering if there are any "easy" swaps. Obviously the mechanical and electrical portions both need to be dealt with. I have deleted everything except the cruise control for steering wheel functions and have a USB to my computer...

    Black 44's on Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe - I need snow tires...

    Really thinking of doing some black 44's for snows. Shown here with my crappy photoshop in a 24, and I'd buy 22s but wondering if anyone has any real pictures of a truck with them on. In particular if they are black. I want black for corrosion resistance and think they'll match up with the...

    Super hard bouncy rear end with new shocks.

    I’ve got Tony’s 07+ 2/3 4 cornering kit. I put it on a year ago and the truck rode completely awesome. I tore a rear boot in one of my shocks which took out my compressor. Even without the air ride the truck rode pretty good, but liked to bottom out much easier (no travel mod). I bought...

    Remove Autoride or Rebuild it

    Just over 100k on my truck, has Tony's 2/3-4 kit on my truck. My shocks are shot. Seems my options are overpay for Monroe replacements, buy a complete Arnott air ride kit or delete the air ride altogether. Makes me wonder what will give me the 'better' ride. Used quotes since it is...

    305/35/24 07+ cornering kit: how to fix the rubbing

    I've got a set of the TBSS wheels on my Escalade. They rub everywhere. Nasty in the back. Looks to me like a spacer to kick them out a bit in the rears would help a ton. Front I am not sure what to do. I searched, and couldn't find the fix. Figured others may need it as well so I'd...

    Escalade Door Handle and Side Molding

    My 6 year old played monkey on my handle and broke it. Figured if I was ordering up those some fresh side molding wouldn't suck. I see the door handles on Amazon/Ebay and of course from GM. The side molding search ends me up in nowhere helpful. Any place to buy both or either that is better?

    2/3 - 4 Lowering Kit --> Ebrake routing?

    After 8000 miles my ebrake cable is rubbing on my shock. I assume I should route this differently. What did you all do to avoid this? I also tossed a bushing as my sway bar came unbolted on one side. Any recommendations on where to get one to replace it?

    Cleaning the Escalade Plasti-chrome

    Was sure if I should treat them like paint, like chrome wheels, like plastic trim or what. What do you all use? I have some discoloration spots on them that if on chrome wheels would polish right out. Just don't want to make the worse in the process.

    Door chimes - blinker/fuel warning -> any way without a headunit?

    Not that I won't have a stereo, but I won't have a headunit. Drove the truck like this for the first time today and realize I don't have blinker noises and such. Door chimes aren't that big of a deal to me, but the rest I somewhat need. Anyone know if the chime is on any analog source...

    VCIM - does it throw codes when I remove it?

    In my dash making some space. Wondering if anyone has ever just yanked the whole VCIM and driven around. Does it throw codes on anything? I have no need for Onstar or the Bluetooth. Losing those two won't bother me a bit and I'd like the real estate. Would like to either put the HD Radio...

    Anyone with 24's near Minneapolis I could buy a beer/lunch for a quick ride?

    Rim shopping, but am more concerned with ride than with looks. Would love to ride in a rig with 24's before buying any, even better if it is lowered. Live in the Western suburbs, but would drive for a lunch/drink or whatever if you have a truck with 24's on it.

    2010 Escalade Lowered NORCAL SS 07 2/3-4 Cornering Kit

    Finally got around to installing the kit from Tony. Truck handles WAY better. Could be more firm, still significantly softer than my ML63 was. In my opinion you give up nothing going with the kit and gain a ton. Turns the floaty boaty feeling into something that inspires some...

    2010 Escalade - Short Block & Forced Induction Question

    Finally decided on what brakes and suspension, so now it is time to turn to the powertrain. Goals are to be quicker than my previous rig…I just can’t step backwards. From zeroto60times.com this means I need to be better than 4.5 to 60 and 13 sec in the quarter. I’d actually like more as that...

    Big Brake Kit - Which one? Where to buy?

    Wilwood, Stop Tech, Baer, Brembo Seems like the Baer kit isn't such an upgrade but is cheap. Wilwood & Stop Tech are similarly priced around $4k, but the Wilwoods are larger Brembo seems to be 2x the price at $8k Does this mean Wilwood's are the choice? If so, is there a vendor on...

    Gear selector - any way to tell what gear you are in without being in manual mode?

    2010 - Escalade, figure all GMT900 trucks with the 6L80 would have the same capability or lack there of. Would love to know what gear I am in. Trying to determine what sort of forced induction setup I am going to acquire and understanding how the truck behaves at what RPM in what gear may...

    2010 Escalade - wind noise door/window seal adjustment?

    Just picked up a 2010 Escalade, currently there is some excessive wind noise from the drivers side door/window (haven't narrowed it down yet). Is there some fix for this? I assume I can adjust the door a bit tighter, but am also willing to invest in better/newer seals or whatever will help...

    Bought an Escalade - became active to research mods

    Finally took the plunge. Bought a 2010 Black on Black Escalade. For years, I had been hoping GM would do an Escalade-V, but since they didn't I bought a used base so I don't feel bad ripping it apart. Just starting the planning stages, but a mild engine build, forced induction...

    Escalade - What ride height and "kit" with a handling focus

    After spending days searching on here, I wanted to make a thread as I can't find references with discussion over which suspension kit and ride height to improve the street handling and cornering. Shopping for an 07-10 Escalade, open to years and options, I need to have it bought, built and...
