    Part Numbers for OEM brake pads and rotors for the Brembo big brake kit

    Did you try the dealership parts? I know that the part number for your brakes is for model year 2021-2024. There’s a different part number for 2025 and up. I don’t know if pads are compatible but the dealership parts department should know that!

    New Tires for 24” Factory Wheels

    I think those wheels and tires look awesome on your Escalade but understand your point. Too bad wheels and tires are so expensive but if the price is not a deterrent, you can wait until you need tires and get new rims and tires and sell your OEM wheels. A 22” wheel might give you more tire...

    OEM Big Brakes on 26 AT4 Ultimate?

    Before I had my GM Performance brakes installed in 2025 there were two different part numbers for two brake packages. One was for 2020-2024 and one was for 2025 and up. If you are getting the front brakes I don’t see why the longer wheelbase would change the compatibility

    UOA and Filter photos of L87 time bomb.

    If you got the Pico test and passed you do get the bottom end warranty. I would go back to the dealer with that report and complain about the noise if it is that noticeable. Also contact GM customer support. Not sure if they will do anything but your documentation will give you plenty of...

    There really is nothing like these trucks!!!!

    You are right. My first impression is that the wreck is in a bike lane! To me that is extremely narrow traffic lane and I thought the turning lane was the traffic lane. Good to know that everyone is ok. That was a serious hit!

    There really is nothing like these trucks!!!!

    From the picture it is a 2 lane road and 35 mph limit indicates slow speed zone. He was in the only lane and I doubt any swooping turn as that would put him in oncoming traffic. Classic case of distracted speeding driver who ends up rear ending a slower vehicle.

    There really is nothing like these trucks!!!!

    Looks like the other vehicle was a Honda maybe a Pilot? From the pictures and your description of turning right, it’s pretty obvious other vehicle was at fault! If you’re driving and slow down to make a 90 degree turn to your driveway the guy behind you was definitely not paying attention and...

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    I always heard about the Escalade IQ but never even considered EV when I bought my Tahoe new in 2024. Definitely not an EV guy as most of those EV “guys” are a little light in the loafers or communists! Going EV is like going against your religion or getting expelled from your family lol! Well...

    Escalade IQ test drive

    Well it’s been around 8 months since the last post and not much feedback on these big EVs. I bought a VW ID Buzz for my wife and this is our first EV. We love it and it has more inside cargo than my Tahoe and if it wasn’t so quirky it would be perfect lol! It’s more like a phone or computer...

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    If you’re talking about fuel economy the GM trucks whether gas or diesel are better than most of the other manufacturers especially Honda and Toyota. Most Newer Toyotas like the Land Cruiser (4 cylinder) Tundra and Lexus GX 550 (6 cylinder) require premium fuel and the EPA numbers are not much...

    Updated Gas vs Diesel Engine and Resale Value?

    I don’t think gas or diesel powered vehicles “resale” value is affected or changes significantly by the type of engine. Resale value is determined by mileage and condition of the vehicle. People who want diesel are looking for diesel and people who want gas are looking at gas. The numbers of...

    2026 Turn Signal Activated Cameras

    Is the distraction having to manually enable the feature or the feature? I think having a view the blind spot when using the turn signal is a good thing and definitely not a distraction.

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    I got the boat ready and hooked up the trailer for some dawn patrol offshore fishing action. One of the coolest tow vehicles I’ve owned for the 5.5k- 6.5k payload.

    Black Paint - Ceramic Coat and Washing (does it look good?)

    Black beauty! Gloss black on these trucks is definitely a powerful statement. No wonder everyone from rock stars to heads of state gets these land yachts in black! Assuming the Denali is new and sure looks like it, how did you ever get those Michelin tires? I thought all these trucks came with...

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    Drove it to the gym and on the way home turning on to the bridge I noticed resurfaced lanes were empty. I turned down the music and hit the throttle and it sure was nice hearing that 6.2l open up :)!

    VERY likely oil shortages on the horizon: stock up now! (Availability & deal thread)

    As slick Willy says “depends what you mean by the word is” “I never had synthetic with that vehicle”

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    6.2l in my 2024 High Country and I have to agree with ample acceleration and the sound of the rumble! Only have 16k miles and no issues. The audio system is fine for me but maybe just average for a high end vehicle. The brakes on all these trucks are the major weakness and I highly advise...

    VERY likely oil shortages on the horizon: stock up now! (Availability & deal thread)

    So if synthetic oil is made using natural gas, who has the biggest supply of natural gas in the world? Pennsylvania? There’s so much natural gas in Pa that they are running 3 shifts around the clock collecting, pumping and compressing it to LNG to export all over the world. Definitely North...

    VERY likely oil shortages on the horizon: stock up now! (Availability & deal thread)

    One of my favorite episodes on “Land Man” After the pretty female attorney from New York City pulled up in her rental Audi A7 to one of the oil operations and gave her opinion on the environmental issues with fossil fuels. His response was classic truth and he went on to tell her everything she...

    Monthly payments

    I have been recently looking at a new car for my wife. We looked at small/mid sized SUV and mini vans. We didn’t see anything in the $40k-$45k MSRP with the higher trim options. We are in Florida so ventilated seats are on the list, my wife wants leather seats, adaptive cruise and 360 cameras...

    (Now Available) AWE 0FG Exhaust Suite for the '21+ Tahoe/Suburban & Yukon/Yukon XL 6.2L

    WOW! Now that is a great looking and sounding system! Much better than the GM Performance exhaust from these videos. I have been on the fence between the performance exhaust cat back and just getting a Borla muffler. This system looks awesome! I’m in and my only decision is between the chrome...

    VERY likely oil shortages on the horizon: stock up now! (Availability & deal thread)

    I’m going the Al Gore route - getting a 500 gallon tank and burying it in my yard so I can tap into it after the world heats up and the ice caps melt and Florida is under water. Wait a minute! If Florida is under water then the roads will be flooded and my Tahoe will be useless but my boat with...

    Monthly payments

    That’s a smart way to look at it and let someone else take depreciation. Unfortunately these nice trucks depreciate quickly and getting that $80k truck for half price is a smart move.

    2026 Tahoe with 6.2, im all good?

    Gotcha! This first quarter would include expenses for the original recall that started last summer though. Listening to that interview with CNBC Paul Jacobson was certainly optimistic that they would continue to improve margins. If the failure rate was higher than 3% Im pretty sure that would...
