    How many miles on original brake pads?

    What are you guys doing to keep it this long? I go through tires and brake pads like candy. I'm talking yearly changes. Granted, I do drive a lot: 30k or so a year, and drive very spirited, I don't baby my truck, which is a 2019 Escalade ESV. My tires were last changed in Sept. 2023, as were...

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV: stainless steel brake lines for REAR?

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I'm going to do the big brake upgrade for the entire truck, but while I'm at it, I want those piddly stock rear calipers gone as well. I already have braided stainless steel lines up front, but can't seem to find any information on stainless steel lines for the...

    AC doesn't blow cold air at idle

    Another update. The AC started acting wonky again. I cleaned the radiator thoroughly (rinsed with coil cleaner), changed the cabin air filter, made sure the AC evap coils were clean, and while it got slightly better, it still was not acceptable. I took it back to the dealer today, and they...

    AC Randomly Stops Blowing Cold

    Might be low refrigerant? These rigs are HIGHLY SENSITIVE to the refrigerant being out of spec. My Escalade just had its compressor replaced, and was still not cooling properly. I just took it in today and they discovered it was overfilled...to the tune of .874kg. They evacuated and refilled to...

    Installing "2021 PPV" style 6-Piston Brembo Front Brakes on a 2007 Yukon Denali

    My 2019 Escalade ESV has the stock rims, which according to this, is +31 offset. https://www.oewheelsllc.com/22-Fits-Cadillac-Escalade-Wheel-Hyper-Silver-with-Chrome-Insert-22x9 I don't know the difference between how offsets work. It was mentioned earlier in this thread that 2021+ PPV rims...

    Brembo part numbers

    I wanted to jump in on this train. I want to do this to my 2019 Escalade ESV. It has 22" wheels. Can anyone confirm if this will simply bolt on, or do I still need washers between the spindle and the caliper. as it says in this video?

    AC doesn't blow cold air at idle

    Update: it was indeed the AC compressor. Stealership installed new AC compressor, seals, the works. Had my truck back to me in a few hours. While idling, AC at full blast is so cold it can freeze your a** off. They only charged me $1400, parts and labor. I may not like their prices because...

    AC doesn't blow cold air at idle

    Appreciate the feedback! How can I diagnose a slipping belt? Just watch it to see if it spins when the AC is turned on and the compressor engages?

    AC doesn't blow cold air at idle

    2019 Escalade ESV. 130k miles. AC doesn't blow cold air at idle (weak): the air is just slightly cool. When I step on the gas (while it's still in Park/idle), the AC gets cold. This gets annoying because it won't be cold enough when sitting in heavy traffic. However, any kind of throttle I give...

    Mount em up!

    My '19 Escalade is a 4x4 and I didn't remove the exhaust manifold. Just the heatshield was enough.

    Mount em up!

    Here in the DMV area, they wanted $1500 PER SIDE. That was absolutely insane. I did it on my own for the cost of the part....and acrobatics. Even was able to keep the heatshield on the new one. Took me 1 day to get the old one out, about 2 hours to get the new one in.

    Mount em up!

    $850 for both? With new mount heatshield intact? Where are you located?

    Mount em up!

    You can totally do it without a lift. I did. It was indeed a PITA, but I saved THOUSANDS of dollars by doing it myself. I did the driver's side only.

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    If you use a cheaper brand brake pad, this CAN happen. As stated, I use Akebono. I thought that it was high quality enough for me to step down from ASP to ACT, but that is exactly what caused it, and it even kept creaking after I reinstalled with some old ASP rear brake pads that I had laying...

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    I personally had this issue, and it drove me up the wall. The rear brakes sounded like the old squeaky floorboard of a 200 year old house. I had even taken everything apart, lubed it up, made sure everything was functioning properly, bled the brake system, and it STILL was noisy. What was the...

    2020 Tahoe Premier Smash or Pass?

    Word of advice/caution: if the transmission was not serviced using the severe maintenance schedule, it's a hard PASS. It's not enough to do it right this second; 89k is too far gone and it should have had at least 2 transmission fluid/filter changes by this time. Ask me how I know: I just...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    That's just crazy. I guess it was never maintained.

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    Final update: Got my truck back yesterday. Engine oil leak was fixed, radiator flushed, trans cooler lines flushed and checked for leaks, and new transmission installed. As for the issue: shuddering is completely eliminated. New transmission shifts slightly hard very rarely, but that's most...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they pressure tested the radiator and transmission cooler, and found no fault, leaks, or any blockages in the cooling system. They recommended to leave the radiator alone. I have it in writing, so if anything happens, it will be on them. Transmission was pulled, and while they are at...

    2020 Tahoe suddenly stuck in 4WD

    2019 Escalade ESV here. I've been driving in 4Auto for 100k miles. I change my front diff fluid religiously, and haven't had it fail. I just prefer driving in this mode, because I find it WAY TOO EASY to spin out the rear when driving in 2WD, even on dry pavement! I can almost do burnouts when...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Update: they've had my transmission since the 8th, even though I've been reaching out to them constantly via email and phone. :rolleyes: I just dropped it off with them, and told them to check the radiator, cooler lines (as they insisted there was nothing wrong with it), but I have an email...

    I feel a clunk from a stop.

    Like everyone said, it's the engine mount. 99% chance that's what it is. It's a DIY job, I did mine myself. Just be prepared to get really dirty and do acrobatics.

    Clogged Trans Filter, is it toast?

    Do you advise changing the transmission cooler lines or can those be reused?
