    Is my AWD Escalade rearend junk?

    My project 08 Esky with 234K miles has been pretty good so far. Took it for a 300 mile road trip and got 17 mpg on the freeway. I have been noticing a "clunk" or something like that when taking off "briskly" from a stop or a downshift when accelerating on the freeway. So I jacked it up on the...

    Finally got all of the lights off on my dash, and installed a 2010 cluster, pics of Esky

    Well, I finally got all of the lights (five total) cleared from my dash (actually a few weeks ago). My "project" thread called "Don't always trust your mechanic, fixed my "blown" engine for $7"...

    Don't always trust your mechanic, fixed my "blown" engine for $7.

    You may have already saw my posts regarding the my 08 Esky project and a post for the 6.2 valve spring part #'s. If you did not see the posts, here is the back story. I recently bought a 2008 Esky with 200K miles for $3200. I checked the vin online for the options. It appears that it has every...

    6.2 Valve Spring Part#? Same as 6.0?

    Pretty sure I have a broken valve spring in my 2008 6.2 in my Esky. Will find out this weekend when I remove the passenger valve cover. This sounds kinda of crazy but GM Parts Direct does not list a valve spring for this year of 6.2. Other sites show all kinds of 6.0 and 6.2 motors having the...

    My 2008 Esky Project, Pic attached

    You may have already read my post regarding LT headers. Here is the project 2008, 200K miles. Supposed to have a bad lifter, etc. The owner says it actually runs fine, just a valvetrain noise in the engine according to her mechanic. She was told to just replace the engine. Anyway, I got her down...

    Do LT headers really make that much of difference on a 6.2 torque build?

    Do LT headers really make that much of difference on a 6.2? I realize that these trucks, that should be built with torque in mind, not the quarter mile time. I need to replace a lifter in my 6.2 Esky. I was considering installing LT's along with a truck cam during the build. Will I really gain...

    My just acquired 2012 PPV, aka "Silver Bullet"

    Just got this 2012 PPV from a county in central Oregon with 153K miles. Thought I would share some pics. (not sure why I "named" it, probably because I have to many vehicles, easier to just name them) I took the wheels of the wife's Z-71 Burb. I get a pretty deal from a local wrecking yard so I...

    Tahoe to Escalade front conversion info needed

    Bought a 2013 Tahoe that needs fenders and the front bumper cover replaced. I decided that I would like to convert the front end to an Escalade.
