    Possible 2009 Escalade Platinum ESV flip?

    I was scrolling Facebook Marketplace today and randomly came across a 2009 Platinum Escalade ESV for $4000. The truck appears to be in great condition but sellers claiming the engine has some lifter noise on start up and the trucks throwing a P0700 DTC. He also said that the TCM was recently...

    Testing magneride strut?

    I recently replaced my 13’ Escalades entire suspension back in mid december with OEM parts. It would periodically throw a “service suspension “ DIC message for right front shock open circuit “. It did this before the repairs (same code). After the repairs sometimes a week could go by without an...

    Rear speed sensor fault question

    today the Esky threw a right rear speed sensor fault. Is it common for these sensors to fail or is it related to possible bearing failure like the front wheel hubs tripping the abs? I don’t think the rear bearings are bad, no noises or anything just wouldn’t be surprised if they were. The trucks...

    Escalade / Yukon premium dual exhaust bumper cover question

    I recently scored a SWB dual exhaust bumper cover for $200. While preparing it for paint, I noticed there are no attachment points for the exhaust sleeves. Is there a specific bracket that connects the sleeves to the bumper cover?

    Escalade Side trim delete! Yay or nay??

    I like the look of the new body style GM SUVs with minimal or no trim for a cleaner look. So I’ve been thinking about filling the holes in the doors for the side trim and thought I’d get some opinions first, what do think? Vote above or leave a comment below thanks for looking! With trim...

    Oil/fuel smell on startup 2013’ Escalade 6.2L

    It’s been pretty chilly in the mornings here 20-30 degrees. This morning I remote started the truck and initially noticed a oil/fuel-ish smell coming from the exhaust. The smell tends to wear off, the truck runs and idles fine. I have noticed some slight rocker noise “ticking” at times but could...

    Shops refusing to disassemble magneride strut

    So I just received my OEM replacement mag struts and new 1” drop springs and removed the defective struts. Now I’m having a hard time finding a shop that will disassemble the old struts to transfer the bellows bump stop and mount onto the new strut and compress the new spring… I called a Lentz...

    Magneride Z95 air ride suspension question

    I’m having issues with the suspension on my 13’ Escalade. The RF strut is bad, I ordered a pair of oem struts, the air compressor doesn’t run when activating it with my scan tool, so I have a replacement compressor on the way. The LR shock had a short to ground suspension fault and currently...

    Is it possible to modify a BCM?

    Is it possible to modify values in the BCM? I really want to retro fit a 2013 CTS V steering wheel onto my 2013 Escalade. The only problem is each wheel’s controls have unique resistance values that when pressed communicate with the BCM to carry out the desired function. I have the resistance...

    2013 Escalade to 2013 CTS V steering wheel swap

    Ive been working on modding a 2013 CTS V steering wheel to work with a 2013 Escalade and ran into some mechanical bumps with shaft and connector sizes, but hit what might be the ultimate dead end. After extensively digging through control schmatics I found that each button on the wheel produces...

    Swap Escalde fenders for Yukon Tahoe Fenders?

    I found a set of new 07-14 Yukon Tahoe fenders on MP for dirt cheap and I'm curious if they would interchange on my Escalade? The body line contours look exactly like the Escalades minus the hideous fender vent, which from a mass production stand point would make sense only having to stamp a...

    Upgraded exhaust help

    I recently wrapped up quite a few mods to my 2013 Escalade and need some advice on how to tame the exhaust volume down a few notches. I absolutely love the sound of the new exhaust but it just a little to loud, on a 1-10 scale it’s at like a 9 and I’d like to to be around a 5/6ish. The exhaust...

    2013 Escalade, Magnetic Ride struts with 1” drop springs?

    I have a 2013 Escalade and recently noticed the “service suspension soon “ DIC message. After scanning the suspension module it threw a code for the passenger side MRC shock. The truck just cusped 120k miles, I can’t really notice anything out of the norm while driving but being a Michigan truck...

    L94 cam swap opinions for a daily driver

    I’ll start with I’m a total newbie in the performance parts world with a strong mechanical background, so I know enough to be dangerous. So I’ve been compiling a parts list for a AFM/DOD delete for a L94 in a 13’ Escalade and I’ve been eyeing a TSP L99 VVT-2.2 Camshaft 227/239 .629/.629 113+6...

    6.2 L94 DOD AFM delete advice?

    Wondering if a L94 DOD/AFM delete can be done by switching over to LS9 lifters / push rods and a L92 valley cover, leaving the oem VVT cam and using HP tuners to disable AFM? I have future plans to do a LSA supercharger swap in the spring and if everything plays nice I’d like to stick with the...
