I've posted on here before with a dc clamp meter my mechman pushing over 200amp's with everything on and my aftermarket amp running.
that was with everything on that can you possibly turn on+ amp and subsi
one could monitor dc amps with a external clamp like this one to meter that can read it...
*pull, push is pushing
other than that either the escalades are somehow different or maybe a issue with the bulb, are you sure you have both high & low beam function?
see what it say's in the owners manual.
with the light switch off, you have to pull the blinker handle towards you in order to get a flash to pass, pushing it forward for high beams without the lights on does nothing.
99% of the time they just swap the part out, a battery & alternator are the only 2 things that might get tested to verify, if so it would be there at the store, theres no waiting unless they are charging the battery.
this is the one I bought for the wife, back in September of last year, just hadn't posted any pictures of it I guess
put a tune on it, added some subs, got the windows tinted, threw a flowmaster on it. It was already leveled. It runs pretty decent for a 5.3
if it was my daily though I would pull...
This is a direct bolt on and is the new style with pressed diodes just like the mechan and other higher end alt.
it is oem on the chevy 3500 pickups (gas engine) just be sure it is a KW5 which indicates 220a
you can find them used on ebay reasonable, just have to shop around
only thing I can advise is to check all of your fuses, easy to do with a meter all you have to do is touch the 2 outer pins to check for continiuty, you do not have to pull the fuse out
only takes a few minutes to check every fuse there is
only about 60% of gm parts are sourced from us, canada, mexico, leaving around 40% sourced globally with china being a significant source
that being said considering how much stuff across the board that is made in China quality varies a lot
brake fluid and power steering fluid are both pretty clear liquids, the first fluid to come out of the power steering reservoir was pretty dark but lightens up as I get the old fluid flushed out. when I bought at 5 years old it had obviously never been done and took about a gallon to get clear...
ya,I flush transmission, brake, power steering, coolant annualy, front & rear diiff, transfer case every 2 years
brake fluid is the worst it gets burnt pretty good especially the way I drive
Annual power steering flush, about 1/2 gallon usually does it, if it hasn't ever been done use 1 gallon for best results I just use a transfer pump I don't like taking lines off that are well sealed for years
quick search on ebay shows they still go for around the same price, but the cars are not coming in the yards anymore
and like the gmt900's there are re-pop "caps" etc out there as well...
depends on the part I used to get 500-800 for a f-body dash, $200 for a trans-am cluster panel cover, $500 for a center console, but all those cars are long gone now.
I got so I could pull a dash out in like 15-20 minutes, easy money because the yard would only charge like $40-50 for a dash
now...
Ya the west coast chain of picknpull has a website you can check, shows year make model the date it was dropped and a picture, I check it like once a week to see what's came in. I used to go hit the yards and get the sought after parts and sell them on eBay but not really worth it to me anymore
