My 2008 Escalade spent 13 years in NYC and every spring I would take it to Northern Blvd at a car wash which had lift and would charge $50 to pressure clean it. Every 2 years I would take my truck to a mechanic that had a lift in queens and would purchase a few cans of WD-40 and spray everything...
You should because it is the last model with the solid rear axle which doesn’t require to be made taller and wider to fit the independent rear suspension components that hangs down 6” to the ground.
The hybrid batteries comes with 10 year 150k warranty btw. There are Toyotas with 600k and still using the original battery. The battery is not expensive and could be replaced in cells. Hybrid Toyotas have great batteries that last forever.
Japanese car and American Truck! I always kept a Camry in my driveway as an extra car since 2011 when we bought our first fully loaded Camry. In mid-2012 we traded the 2011 for a 2012 Camry SE because of the body style change & now we still have our 2018 Camry XLE hybrid that gets 44 mpg & 600...
I wouldn’t go with anything but OEM. The replacement OEM struts are made by BWI now and they improved the part. The replacement parts come with lifetime warranty from GM too.
My 2018 Luxury with 93k, flawless and not a single scratch or dent. Just replaced my 2nd row leather seat skins with leather takeoffs that I bought on eBay for $220 from a leather shop in Florida. I also changed the front leather bottoms on the driver and passenger side as well. The interior is...
Changed my driver and passenger seat bottoms for less than $450 OEM. I am debating on allowing the hot summer sun get the small wrinkles out or using a heat gun. I might wait a month or two to see what happens with the sun. I changed the 2nd row upper and lower buckets last fall. Purchased from...
Definitely be on top of the paint because the k2xx in black or dark colors had paint issues. I would wax it every 3-4 months. Keep it out of the sun. You could also give it a ceramic coat.
Lol…..Because the topic came up about using OEM parts so I was suggesting from experience some OEM parts are not the best. Just wanted to put it out there what is the best if you decide to replace the front end parts. This is something that will need replacement shortly after the catalytic...
Look how beautiful the Duralast Gold upper and lower control arms look with my OEM sway-bar end-link! I also replaced the upper and lower insulator and isolator. This was my 2008 Escalade that had 207k and lived in NYC Queens from 2008-2021 1/2. We had some of the worst weather storms some years...
Except the upper and lower front control arms. Duralast Gold from Autozone is better. They cost 15-20% more. When you compare the OEM and the Duralast you will see what I am talking about.The Duralast has lifetime warranty and zerk grease fittings. I also would only use the Duralast AGM platinum...
I replaced my rear view mirror camera with a new one. I found out the hard way that it degrades over time and should be replaced every 3-4 years. I was able to take the lens off the new one and put it on my old one that was in place already which saved me time. I also didn’t want to risk...
Well from experience when first starting my truck and then driving to the corner my light would come on. The steering wheel was crooked as well so I took it to the alignment shop and all was good. I know that you have to hold the steering wheel in place by the seatbelt or whatever and not let...
That is a great price. You need the new gasket, filter and fluid. You need to clean the magnets as well. I would not let anyone do it except the dealer.
You may get the dash light code c0710. If the dash light is not on and when you start to drive the light comes on then you need alignment. You might be able to measure the inner tie-rods correctly if you have great skills. I would spend the $90 and purchase the Duralast gold heavy-duty inner...
