    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    You probably shouldn’t even have your Tahoe if modern “fancy systems” bother you so much. The K2 Tahoe and Escalade aren’t that much different under the skin. Pretty much everything has had electronic throttle bodies since the early to mid 2000’s. “Manual” AC has not been manual since then...

    05 Yukon Denail Got Broken Into

    Wow. I didn’t think thieves would bother trying to steal these any more since they aren’t really worth much any more.

    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    K2 no longer has full time AWD. They have an auto 4WD selection, but it is a bad idea to use it on dry pavement.

    2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing

    The Escalade can have a trailer brake controller if the option was picked, all of them have a 2” receiver, the 6.2L will tow significantly better, the 8 speeds don’t need the torque converter replaced, you can manually select gears. I’m not sure why you think an Escalade would be less capable...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    Very few GM parts are made in China. Most of GM’s parts are made in Mexico now. Any aftermarket replacement part is of lesser quality than the OEM part, no matter where it’s made. That’s why the parts are cheaper.

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    Cam and lifters aren’t actually that common and transmissions don’t last forever on any brand but leaks, shocks, and engine mounts are definitely wear items that should be expected with pretty much all cars. EVAP problems are common as well. My friend has a Lexus that the transmission is on its...

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    You think these fall apart at 150k? Maybe if they were completely neglected but the 900s can easily go 300k if cared for. I don’t see how you expect any vehicle to go the distance if you don’t ever spend any money on it. Even Toyotas and Hondas break.

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I’m used to power. My cammed 08 Escalade is probably one of the slower vehicles I’ve owned, I want to supercharge it. Regardless, when we’re comparing the 900 or the newer generations that make more power and have more gears to keep the engine in the powerband better, it is definitely...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I will say, if you’re trading a GMT-900 Chevy or GMC SLT, there is probably much more to like about the K2 compared to coming from a Yukon Denali and especially an Escalade. I couldn’t own a 900 Chevy because the 5.3L is very underpowered, all the cheap rubber interior parts, and how noisy they...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    Yes, they should all be replaced at 100k.

    8L90 at wits end

    The dealer isn’t giving you the runaround. All normal. The 8L90 is hot garbage.

    WTB: 07-14 6.2L Corsa Touring Muffler

    If anyone has a Corsa Touring muffler for a 07-14 6.2L, I’d like to buy one.

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    The K2 has all of the problems the 900s have plus more of their own. I want to like the K2 because I like the way they look and the T1 is ugly and bloated with bad lines, but the quality gets worse with each body style. The biggest issue with the K2 is the ride quality. They’re very rough and...

    Stunned!! Denali 6.2 spun a rod bearing at 25k..

    So does Toyota. They’re putting engines in the new Tundras. There are videos all over TikTok.

    Saginaw Michigan - Service a 2008 Hybrid Yukon?

    Umm, if you've had EV training, I don't think you would be talking about EV batteries like that. It can be second nature and not be a big deal to you, but these batteries are not "nothing." They have enough voltage and amperage to kill you instantly. There's a reason they sell insulated tools...

    Saginaw Michigan - Service a 2008 Hybrid Yukon?

    You have to verify the high voltage system is dead. Assuming it is dead is how you wind up dead. High voltage is no joke. That’s why most places won’t mess with them. I’ve done high voltage training and still avoid them like the plague. The AFM oil pump is barely different, it’s like 20% more...

    Saginaw Michigan - Service a 2008 Hybrid Yukon?

    You’d be better of taking it to a dealership. You’ll have a much better chance of someone being trained to work on it there. Even if the issue isn’t with the hybrid system, GM still says to disable it before doing engine work. If it has an actual issue with oil pressure, it’s probably cam...

    Should this pre-purchase inspection be a dealbreaker?

    Statistically, they can’t all be bad, but I wouldn’t buy a car at Carmax either. Pretty much everything I’ve seen there that I might have been interested in is overpriced and I’ve seen so many cars from there was were polished turds.

    Pirelli AS plus 3 vs Michelin Defenders LTX M/S

    The Defender 2. I thought I had a picture of mine after I put the 2 on but I guess I don’t.

    The new Defender looks very different from the old one.

    2003 Tahoe Complete Wiring Harness

    I will add that you need to use TXL wire for any underhood repair. It is the only wire rated to withstand underhood temperatures and possible fluids getting on the wire. The stuff you buy at the parts store is not TXL rated. You can buy the correct stuff on Amazon (labeled as AC Delco). All...

    HELP! Paint Fading - 2017 GMC Yukon Denali

    So that’s a wrap? Looks pretty good in the pictures for a wrap. They’re getting better and better. The paint failure doesn’t just affect the dark colors. White was one of the worse offenders on the GMT-800 but isn’t really any more but the brown colors are pretty bad about failing, too.

    Pirelli AS plus 3 vs Michelin Defenders LTX M/S

    Almost anything is better than a Bridgestone. I had the Dueler Alenza on my 08 for exactly 24 hours to see if I liked some used wheels I bought, and I literally thought the truck was going to roll over when I hit the interstate on ramp like I do every day on my Michelins. Absolute trash. They...
