Watchouts for buying a 2007 ESV 6.2?
I have an 11 Esky and we absolutely love it. It's rated at 8300 lbs of towing capacity which is pretty darn good IMO. I haven't tuned it yet but I've heard it really wakes these motors up. If you're towing anything heavy BE SURE you add an auxiliary transmission cooler. These trannys are...- LDMoore

$1500 month in SoCal lease? Sound high? Denali xl
Sounds like a ripoff. Sounds like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Many people pay less than that for their house. At least here in Texas. Sorry if I sound dramatic but that's just crazy to me. I love the new SUVs but I would never pay that even if I could afford it. Not to mention...- LDMoore

2020 base model
If not in the manual then research it on the internet. I think it has to have the RPO code for it then you can buy the fob and have it programmed Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore

Turbo diesel for the Denali!
The 3.0 isn't available for order yet. It was a late availability option set for sometime this fall so you'll have to wait just a bit more. As far as MPG that remains to be seen. I don't know if EPA numbers are out yet but the half tons are rated close to 30 and many are surpassing that. But...- LDMoore

Turbo diesel for the Denali!
I did read it and I understand what you're saying. But you also have to consider you're paying more for the Escalade anyway because it's a Cadillac so is that really much different? I completely agree with being a wise shopper no matter what you can afford. As for me I've waited for a diesel...- LDMoore

Turbo diesel for the Denali!
It is on the half tons so why not the SUVs? Plus they did in fact announce they were lowering the diesel price by $1500 which should make it cheaper than the 6.2. Also it blows my mind that someone considering an $80k SUV would let a $3k engine option be a deal breaker. Especially if it's the...- LDMoore

Yes the Denali only comes with the 6.2. But there's no upcharge for it since its included in the Denali package Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore

Turbo diesel for the Denali!
It will probably be like the pickups where it'll be the same price as upgrading to the 6.2. The Escalades are standard with the 6.2 so the diesel being a no charge option makes sense Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore

I never thought the Escalade was worth the premium over a Denali...
I would slightly disagree. Now I can see where that perspective comes from but the reason we bought our '11 Escalade over the Denali was because of the differences. Mainly the dash is quite different, there's more leather covered interior pieces and I like the look of the Escalade much more than...- LDMoore

Z71 and no 6.2 engine?
What's different about the 2020 models? From what I understand they didn't really change the engines. At the very least a centrifugal setup should still work. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore

Electric Fans Vs Clutch Fans
The 2500s have clutch fans because they're better for towing which is why the 3/4 and 1 ton pickups still use them. The 2500 Yukon/suburban is also designed for towing so the electric fans would be inadequate. They're more efficient but they don't move near as much air as a clutch fan. The 1/2...- LDMoore

Factory ITBC
Thanks for the info! I looked for threads but my search didn't come up with much. Maybe I wasn't using the right key words. Anyway that answered my question. I like the clean look of the factory controller but not interested in a lot of work to do it. An aftermarket will do just fine for what...- LDMoore

Factory ITBC
Is it possible to install a factory brake controller on an Escalade that doesn't come with the tow package? I've read the wiring is there for one but I know the factory setup has a module that's integrated into the BCM. Also I know on the pickups it's mounted down on the lower kick panel. Is it...- LDMoore

Z71 and no 6.2 engine?
Lol true dat! I think these vehicles are pretty underrated off road. From what I've read though it seems they've stepped up their game with the 2021s. And if the new diesel is offered in the off road trims then torque will be the last thing to complain about Sent from my HTC6545LVW using...- LDMoore

Z71 and no 6.2 engine?
The Z71 is not an off road specific vehicle. It's an optional package that adds different wheels and tires, different shocks, a couple skid plates and some styling differences mainly. A lot of people expect it to be close or equivalent to a Raptor or even a Rebel and it's not. The...- LDMoore

Governed speed changed by itself?
Yep I do that's probably why then. Shocks were replaced before we bought it and someone didn't tighten the bolts well enough and one came out letting the shock get pushed into the compressor and breaking the electrical connector for the MRC. But that's been a few months ago. Guess I should...- LDMoore

We have an '11 Escalade that we love and have had no real problems with until a couple days ago. Out of nowhere it will not go past 80 mph and cruise control won't work past 76 mph. It's not an engine power issue. It has all the power in the world but as soon as you hit 80 the computer cuts...- LDMoore

Pickup to XL
I was the same. Drove pickups all my life but a few years ago got married and then had our first kid. We had my 07 GMC 3/4 ton Duramax that we both adored. We ended up selling it and buying a 2011 Escalade. We both absolutely love it but I miss my pickup. I miss my 500 hp diesel that I spent...- LDMoore

About that funny shaped intake tube - there's a reason - Performance!
I like your attitude. Really we're just splitting hairs here. From what I can tell either way you look at it the difference is so little you can't tell without dyno tests anyway let's just agree to disagree Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore

Which is EXACTLY why the stock system is designed the way it is. The average consumer doesn't want that much engine noise but for the enthusiast like most of us we generally like the noise so the trade off is a win win Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk- LDMoore
