Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

Yeah but I don’t have an esky cluster to begin Lol

Yes you kinda do. You DO have a Denali cluster right? The only difference between the Denali cluster is the lense bezel and the gauge overlay. They both have the transmission temperature gauge already, and they should both already have the white needles. You can get a mint condition used Escalade lense bezel for around $60-$70 on eBay, and the gauge overlay can be found for about that same price.

Haven’t posted a pic of the Escalade in awhile, here is a recent pic. I was originally going to lower the truck front and rear but I think with 2” rear lowering springs it would sit close to level, which is all I really want.

The last snow storm we had took the Escalade out and ripped some donuts on this dead end road by work, with the traction control off it slides pretty nicely

Scored a set of NBS Denali outer color matched door handles in black for the Escalade, just need to wrap the chrome on the rack & running boards and the truck will be completely murdered out

I’m right there with you! I’m pretty over winter here. And my winter isn’t anywhere near as bad as yours..... lol

Over the weekend I got the passenger rear outer Denali door handle on, color matched looks so much better and scored these other handles off FB hopefully have them on the end of the week

I finally scored a clean set of color matched Denali door handles. Looks so much better going to wrap the chrome on the rack & boards along with tinting the tails & 3rd brake light

Replaced the driver door water deflector since it was missing, it’s not shown in this pic but I made another hole for the door switch wiring so you have enough slack to hook up the switch with the door panel

Replaced the amber 194 turn signal bulb to match the rest of the pure white LED’s looks perfect now

Installed the Kenwood HU

Pulled the factory CD changer

Then gutted the CD changer, I’m going to install a single din pocket in the case and mount it like it was from the factory, should have it all set Tuesday night

Did the cd changer work at all?

Even if it did, its not 2005.
Xm radio and bluetooth ftw

That Kenwood looks great! I wanna pull my cd changer out as well. I just don’t know what to put there yet. I want to do something really nifty and handy and useful..... lol

Wait so are your turn signals white now? Does CT have a safety inspection like MA? I know those wouldn't pass here. I really need to install a new HU, using the rse with a giant rca cable is getting old.

The 3157 turns are flashbacks when they are on they are amber but when they are off they are pure white to match the DRL and side marker bulbs, no inspections here, I had this HU sitting around for 3 months lol I got sick of only having one button light up on the factory HU

Okay, that makes sense now.
I've started noticing some people with white turn signals. They flash white. Some rear, some front. I thought to myself "no way that's legal"
