    Yeah I was referring to the little one... 2008 doesn't have that.

    Correct. The head and block aren't the same part of an engine. They're connected to each other which is how i'm guessing the starter gets ground.

    On the gmt900 l92 from the factory from the battery, they have a thick cable going to the head and a thinner cable going behind the front bumper. Its been like that for the last 312,000 miles with zero issues lol

    Voltage drop on the 12v side yes. But I have none. It's only ground side.

    Mine didn't come with that small ground on the head where the battery ground goes to. I'll try to add one to the alternator bracket.

    No just above the exhaust manifold there are empty threaded holes.

    There are no ground cables going directly to block on these from what I can tell.

    Or maybe adding a ground strap from firewall to alt/power steering bracket? I know some of em came with that.

    I already added a new oem ground strap from firewall to the head but didn't make a difference. Added it to a different location and doubled it up with factory old ground as people seem to recommend around here. And there's no direct to block ground that I know of on these.

    UPDATE! I hooked a 1 gauge jumper cable from the battery ground to the firewall ground and it started right up. I then disconnected it and it's constantly starting normally now but I still have about 1.25v of voltage drop at the firewall ground when starting. I'm thinking of adding a ground...

    The voltage drop test shows that there's a ground issue. The starter casing is how the starter grounds... There's no voltage drop across the 12v terminals.

    Yeah swapped Relays around with no difference.

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    True but it did the same with a fully charged battery too. And no I haven't tried. Would I get a code for something like this?

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    Was fully charged originally and still did the same.

    12.6-12.4 now that I've cranked it a bunch doing testing for voltage drops
  17. Mordechai

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    Here's a video. Also I found a voltage drop! Hooking up one lead to the starter casing and the other end on the battery negative I get what you see in the video. Looks like massive voltage drop. Problem is, i'm not sure where to go from here because testing with one lead on battery negative and...

    Update: New battery and ignition switch didnt do anything.

    I don't have a charger. Just a jump pack that has jumped diesel semis and another car to jump off of. I'm guessing that isn't enough because it does the same thing with both of those.

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    So is the battery toast? This is after trying to crank it a few times
  21. Mordechai

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    Wouldn't it start when jumped with another running car in that case?

    2008 Escalade - rapid clicking no start

    Hey guys. Really feel stuck. Already tried new OEM positive and negative battery cables, new oem starter, new battery, new ground cable from firewall to back of head on drivers side. Mega fuse cleaned and tested good. Cleaned frame behind bumper where battery grounds. Tried to jump start from...

    Z71 Suburban Shock/Strut Replacement - Stock Height

    My other thread isn't related to this problem really, should i still post the pics there? I don't get this problem on other struts but the 5100s handle the best so if I can stay with them would be nice.

    Full "neon" escalade third brake light

    Looks good. I want it for my Escalade.

    Z71 Suburban Shock/Strut Replacement - Stock Height

    Sorry for randomly chiming in, but I currently have bilstein 5100 struts with the springs from one of the cheap acdelco professional struts. Do you think the moog 81244 would help with my ride? Going over bigger bumps on the highway is extremely jarring currently.
