Escalade 1.0 2011 ESV Z71 Offroad Build

Escalade 2.0 2007 ESV, BTR DOD deleted, LS7 lifters, Street Rod

First thing on the list of things to do:

Control arms.
Brakes,
Oil Changes


Old 2 piston brakes were removed and replaced.
4 piston 2019-up brakes were aquired from a 2025 Escalade. Swap consists of removing the old rotors and caliepers and replacing with the new units using 1/2" washers.

New brakes are on and it stops on a dime.

I like it. Very nice. Is there a write up on the brake upgrade? Have any pics on the installation, along with the washer thickness and location of installation? We're they expensive to get?

Does that mean a 25 Esky has what not the dust?

Got the twins home at last.

Cammed Escalade did a surprising 18.6mpg over a 330mi trip calculated not in the cluster.
