    Did the magneride delete with Arnott setup, here is a full run down

    Kudos to the OP who nailed his review of the Arnott kit. I too grew tired of replacing the magnerides every 30-50k miles (GM gonna GM!!!) and found the reviews of the system here last summer. It's been over a year and 30K and I'm very satisfied with the changeover. Like the OP said, you might...

    What is Magna ride?

    Sorry but this is a simplistic response. It's not the price. I have vehicles that cost significantly more than our Escalade. I'm not cheap but I'm not going to throw good money after bad. I always put premium in for gas. I typically use the dealer for servicing to ensure it's done according...

    What is Magna ride?

    I'd say it's a money pit!!! It's nice when it works but the shocks are pricey and not durable. I've changed over to a regular suspension on m Escalade ESV and really don't notice a difference. Unless you count the improvement from driving on a near frozen magnaride shock!

    Do you get what you pay for in Tires

    I realize $ is $ and every dollar saved is worthwhile and can be spent elsewhere. General is well known and a respected mid-tier tire vendor. But they are mid-tier. But this sticks with me....what is the only thing connecting you to the road? The 4 tires. Don't cheap out. You see how...

    Good performance tires that don’t wear a lot?

    I drive my '15i very aggressively and have been super impressed with the Defender LTX's. 1 year and 28K later and they look and feel new.

    Would you buy it?

    Any accident is not an immediate rule out to me. Airbags or several K in damage- yup. But a simple fender bender is not a concern.

    How to tell Battery is going bad?

    Built in warning? I don't recall that warning when my battery went 3 years ago.

    How to tell Battery is going bad?

    I haven't seen much on starters on these rigs going. Mine's a '15i with only 118K so I'd be disappointed if a starter went that early.

    How to tell Battery is going bad?

    Not quite that slow but not far off. Looking back, I had to get a new battery just over 3 years into owning it. Now i'm due for another one just over 3 years later. I sense a pattern! I'll get a new one at Costco this week. Thanks all!

    Tires?

    That's a good thing no? Drive/ride super well and a long warranty. Win/win!

    Would you buy it?

    Those last two are not as nicely optioned but much lower mileage. Those seem like much better deals than almost 50K for a rig with over 100K on it.

    Tires?

    Too late but NOT a fan of the Bridgestones. They end up like bricks and wear poorly. I've been very happy with the Defenders. 30K/1 year later and they look great.

    How to tell Battery is going bad?

    How can you tell the battery is going? I've got a 3 year old battery and it seems to hesitate a split second before turning over? We are gliding into winter in the Mid-Atlantic and I don't want to get caught stranded. The battery is consistently showing high 13's/low 14's on the dashboard...

    Hellwig vs Hotchkis sway bars and how hard to install

    I'll be having my local garage install these. The lazy/time factor is high for me!

    Hellwig vs Hotchkis sway bars and how hard to install

    Just ordered the full Hellwig package from this site. According to the website, they have them in stock and ready to ship. Plus the price was excellent. Thanks all!

    Hellwig vs Hotchkis sway bars and how hard to install

    Bummer! The rear Hellwig doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Even on their website- they say it's a special order with a delivery time of 8-12 weeks.

    Hellwig vs Hotchkis sway bars and how hard to install

    perfect- thanks! Have your tried to adjust? I'll have my local mechanic install but wondering if I can do the adjustments myself.

    So just confirming- the Hellwigs are adjustable?

    2021 suburban leveled

    I should have added some context too- sorry for appearing insensitive regarding the labs. We've had several and LOVE them. Having said that, like you referenced, those dogs can EAT! Congrats again on the new 21!

    I've seen some FAT labs!!!!! Looks good- was this the first '21 your shop had worked on?

    Congrats to the OP! Always fun to get a new vehicle- especially a new one like this! Looks great and 80K for a loaded Denali is the going rate.
