    Electrical gremlins?

    2006 Escalade here, around 80k miles. I had a strange issue several months ago, whereby the windshield wipers on intermittent, caused the LCD display in the mirror to lose power, which I documented here: http://tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65147 About 2 weeks ago, I was driving...

    Questions about seats and seatbelts

    I saw someone talking about this recently, and I've always wondered this myself. On the 2006 Escalade: 1. The front passenger seat does not recline back very far at all. It's still mostly upright when it stops, and it's very uncomfortable if you're trying to lay it back on a long trip. I...

    Engine noise/tap Cold AND Warm after start-up?

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here.. but the noise in the video doesn't seem like it's internal to your engine. It sounds louder than something that could be internal, and more latent. Going on that line of thought, it could be a motor mount, or your belt tensioner, or maybe a vibration at the...

    AirBag Light HELP !

    I think your BCM needs to be synchronized to the SDM (essentially, your vehicle's black box). Both modules are VIN-coded. Most likely you have the old VIN in the BCM and just need it flashed with the new VIN. This has to be done with an advanced bi-directional scan tool like the GM Tech II...

    Strange electrical problem when wipers used

    I would think if the wiper motor were drawing excessive power, it would blow the fuse. Further to your point about over-current out of the motor, remember that this behavior only happened with the wipers on intermittent, not on every duration setting. Motors, because they're simple...

    Strange electrical problem when wipers used

    Hi all. 2006 Escalade w/ about 75k on the clock. I just noticed that with the windshield wipers set to intermittent, the power to the rear-view mirror seems to go out. Specifically I'm referring to the green LED light on the lower left portion, and the LCD compass display in the upper right...

    Common issues on 05/06 GMT800s?

    Indeed. As you started to describe the steering issues, I could just picture the linkage picking up salt, corroding, displacing grease, etc. And that's good to know about Katzkin, I wasn't aware they ever showed up on ebay. One final question, you mentioned stuck valves in the transmission...

    Common issues on 05/06 GMT800s?

    That makes two of us! A couple of follow-up questions if you don't mind, which (I think) are relevant to the original post: 1) Your mass-airflow sensor, 10 years and 80k miles is a little soon.. what necessitated replacement? Did your truck have an oiled aftermarket air filter or...

    2006 Escalade / Creative use of exterior LEDs?

    Apparently someone else had the same idea: http://image.truckinweb.com/f/features/1311_2011_cadillac_escalade_ext_all_pro/54953236/2011-cadillac-escalade-ext-led-logo.jpg I also saw on another forum where someone said the 2015 Escalades would have a rear LED emblem in a similar fashion...

    2006 Escalade / Creative use of exterior LEDs?

    I was pondering how cool it'd be to have a chrome grill with an LED-illuminated Cadillac emblem, i.e. so that the whole emblem was comprised of LEDs and you could tell what it's supposed to be from 20 or 30 feet away. I haven't come across one yet.. does such a thing exist? Also while...

    Common issues on 05/06 GMT800s?

    z0lt3c, at the risk of somewhat hijacking this thread, can you tell me what you've had to do to your 03 Escalade, and how many miles you have? I just bought an 06 with 64k miles. As for mine, the only issue I can identify is a very slight miss at idle, which could be anything. Prior owners...

    New member from Scotland with problems...

    While you're checking everything out, have a look at the idler arm. It's supposed to be nice and firm when you wiggle it up and down. A lot of tire shops will try to move your right wheel in order to illustrate travel on the idler arm, but I wouldn't rely on that only. Put about 20 pounds of...

    What kind of things should I be doing to my 06 Escalade?

    Thanks for the info.. I was able to dig up a thread (by searching for threads with "escalade" in the title - very useful) where Tony linked to a 3/6 kit that works with autoride: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52972&highlight=escalade I'm all confused though... the...

    What kind of things should I be doing to my 06 Escalade?

    Thanks, I'm still trying to gain consensus on what's possible, hence all of the questions. I have yet to encounter any Escalade build threads on this forum (except for one, dealing with addition of a turbocharger only). So it's hard to get an idea of what everyone else has done. A few build...

    What kind of things should I be doing to my 06 Escalade?

    I just bought a 2006 Escalade 2WD, has the nav system and every option that I've ever seen on a base model. I'm looking around the truck and I've already got several ideas about things I want to do to it. But let's start simple: 1) Can I lower it? If so, how? i.e. are there any methods...
