    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    It's front-end refresh time. I'm fast approaching 180K miles on our 09 Esky ESV. It has the original everything on the suspension. The front sway bar bushings have been replaced with poly recently because they were ready to disintegrate. While looking around at parts I saw that aluminum upper...

    I’ll use the term “Picking the Meat off the Caracass“

    True to form, and in billionaire style, Carl Icahn is picking the meat off the bones of the business he purchased 5 years ago. On their 100th anniversary, most Pep Boys are being shut down or taken apart to slowly wither away. If the Pep Boys in your neighborhood is closing its parts store, the...

    07-14 / NNBS Escalade Navi Screen Blank w/ only Time Showing

    This is the screen you get in an 07-14 when the Navi is pissed off from having the battery removed and replaced without a memory saver hooked up to the system. I did try pulling the fuse and disconnecting the battery and touching + & - together (while OFF the battery!). Nothing brought it back...

    More Liftgate Remedies and 07-09 TSB #07-08-47-005B

    X posting this for the non op NNBS lift gates that aren’t cured with the usual strut, actuator drive motor replacement. The one thing that is not addressed is the lift gate (pinch) sensor. It reverses the motor if the amp rating of the motor rises or “senses” an obstruction. Here’s the...

    FYI Folks in CA & Maybe other States AAA won’t let you in the Tow Truck

    Heads up folks and Parents with kids. I just called for a tow from a burst coolant hose and AAA subtly asked if I was going to follow them. I couldn’t believe that their dispatch was too afraid to let me know they were only towing cars but leaving drivers behind. Apparently if you’re on the...

    Upgraded from a 2008 Denali to a 2009 Eski

    We've owned our Denali XL AWD since ’14. The focus was catching the missed maintenance while under a service contract for the next four years. When something lit the DIC or made a noise, nothing was a surprise anymore. The itch to make changes to the lighting and tires was getting louder. While...

    Anyone Have A Referral / Recommendation for Transport / Shipped from Dallas / Spring to Cali?

    Looking to bring an Esky from Dallas / Spring, TX to Cali via a Transpo Co via truck. My jaw hit the floor watching the news on the Corona virus outbreak in NorCal and an airline stewardess at LAX diagnosed w/ it last night. Doesn't seem like good time for train, plane and hotel travel eh? I...

    NNBS POLY Susp Bushings - Put em Where They Belong

    :angry94::angry94:Ah Crap wrong forum .. Mod's can you bump me over to <15 pls There's not much in poly suspension bushings for the 07-14 NNBS. It makes sense though because there's only a few key areas where they'd do more for the ride instead of muck it up with bump steer. Sway bars are the...

    Swap 12V Acces'y/Cig Plugs for Dual USB Outlets

    The 12V Ciggy plugs on our 08 Yuke XL AWD are plentiful. For a while I ignored the two just below the HVAC controls that have broken covers and peeling chrome. Three weeks ago was the turning point. I looked on fleabay and found a USB charge receptacle that looks like it'd be a direct fit into...
