    100,000 mile club

    I was going to get the factory Brembo 6 piston brake upgrade from the 2021 and up GM trucks. I didn’t want to do it yet so I got Duralast Gold brake pads instead for the front and back. I am very impressed because my original truck brakes always would overheat the brakes when driving...

    Battery size حجم البطارية

    I would get the same size battery but AGM specs. I have a AGM battery and it has a great reserve when cleaning my truck. The AGM also lasts way longer too.

    2015 GMC Yukon XL SLT Apple Carplay

    That won’t work. You need to change out the module. I would call Whites Media Automotive. They may be able to program yours.

    I would look for a franchise auto part store that has locations throughout the Middle East or Oman so you can go to any location.

    Battery size حجم البطارية

    I recommend the Duralast AGM platinum from AutoZone which is an excellent battery with a long warranty. The reason why I like this brand is that you can pick it up at any AutoZone in North America if you are away on vacation or not near home you can go to AutoZone and change it out in 15 min and...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I noticed your black trim on the rear step is starting to look dull. I very highly recommend this. I did my side-steps last December and they look nice like new.

    The was a version that didn’t have the third row called the custom edition. I would order the carpet from that model and put it in.

    Passenger lifter failure 79k 10/22, now Driver 107k.

    Yep and it sucks. I am hoping it doesn’t happen for at least another 200k miles. This happened all in 18 months. I don’t know if it was my fault since I am not the original owner.

    100,000 mile club

    I have 109k on my 2018 Escalade Luxury. My lifters failed at 107k again on the driver side. This time #7 twisted in the guide and ruined my camshaft. The first time was at 79k on the passenger side. My mechanic replaced my camshaft and both sides of my lifters. The truck is more responsive and...

    Passenger lifter failure 79k 10/22, now Driver 107k.

    Seems like the lifter business has been good for many mechanics since 2014. My driver-side failed 10/22 at 79k and I took my truck to Cadillac because I just moved to Houston and did not know a mechanic here yet. I was quoted $7000 to change the passenger lifters and fix a seepage oil pan seal...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I have the 2022 but you can get the 2023 installed into your module from whites automotive & media services for $50. They don’t even have the 2024 for the current gen.

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I am speaking for Escalade. I had the 2008 for 14 years and now I have a 2018 which I owned for 2 1/2 years now. The 2018 has the 10-speed which gets 20-30% better mpg. The digital cluster is amazing and could be configured. I love all the USB ports, HD radio, Bluetooth audio, CUE, CarPlay, 4g...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    My driver side afm lifter #7 started making a strange sound at 107k. I did the passenger side lifters at 79k 18 months ago. This time the lifter twisted and ruined my camshaft. I had to change all my lifters and camshaft. My mechanic did such a great job for $4500. The mechanic did not get my...

    New ride

    Heck yeah! I have a 2018 Escalade with the 10-speed which is 30-40% better gas then the previous generation. Check the cabin air filter. The 8-speed had issues so you may want to check into that too.

    Put Armoral on all the doors, dash, doors panels, and hatch rubber to keep it fresh. Sprayed some ceramic spray on the hood to prepare for summer. I put trim coat on the side steps, lower front bumper, & rear bumper. Jay Leno conditioner is awesome for the leather. My 2018 Escalade looks like...

    Buyers Remorse?

    The struts was improved when BWI bought out GM and started making them with better seals. I got over 100k on my other Escalades front BWI GM replacements. I could have gotten more but I changed my front struts for a squeak that ended up being a control arm. The switches and buttons are made...

    Buyers Remorse?

    In 1/2022 I bought a used Escalade luxury with 48k miles. I chose the luxury because it comes with cruise only and no retractable steps which I hate. When I got the truck the dealer had new Goodyear Touring tires which lasted me only 20k miles. I put Michelin Defenders LTX at 70k and now with...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    The Duralast Gold upper and lower control arms are the best for your truck. They have grease fittings and lifetime warranty. If the part ever fails you can walk into any autozone for the rest of your life and get a new one. They are a little more than OEM but are made so much better. If you look...

    Changed the driver leather bottom for the 2nd time in 6 months on my 2018 Escalade. The first time the bottom leather towards the seat back was not tight so I changed the foam which didn’t resolve my issue. I tried with a heat gun and iron but couldn’t get it to fix. I finally got sick of it and...

    Possible ground issue

    They have great reviews the standards but the premiums have terrible reviews. The standard Duralast is great coils. They are made so well too. Duralast gold is a good brand for upper/lower control arms, coils, rear end links and brake pads. The Duralast pads come with lifetime replacement and...
