Bumper cover does not need to come off to change the steering rack. Only the underside protector with the four bolts. I would change the inner steering tie-rods and use Duralast Gold HD also the ends using OEM or at least grease the fittings. You are going to need an alignment. Don’t worry about...
Yes I agree! I took the family once every couple of years to Portland. There is so much to do in the summer. I love to go on the lobster fishing boat then when you return there is a place to cook your lobster you just caught and eat the New England clam chowder in the bread bowl. The sail boat...
You have to inspect the camshaft with a camera or specific tool to see if there was damage. If you got the check engine light then most likely your camshaft is damaged. I didn’t get the check engine light or store codes, just the tick so my camshaft did not get damage. You may have caught it...
Yes but the Blackbear tune doesn’t program the 10 speed transmission. If you have the 6 or 8 speed the Blackbear has benefits but with the 10-speed it’s very limited. Has Blackbear been able to do anything with the 10-speed yet?
I would think that the tune and the range do the same with disabling the AFM. I am not an expert on the Tune and maybe someone could explain to us what the difference is between getting the tune or range does different. Does the tune change other parameters that the range doesn’t and that is why...
I am thinking that they are confused. In 2019 the Chevy Silverado 1500 & GMC Sierra 1500 pickups was the first to use current platform. The 2015-2020 GMC SUV, Escalade SUV and Chevy SUV are the k2xx platform and the brake components remained the same. In 2021 the SUVs have independent suspension...
It was $5100 for the whole engine with new headers, header shields, spark plugs, belts & wires. John recommended new water pump & mounts so I paid him to do it too. I purchased a transmission shifter cable so he installed it for free. John doesn’t charge for the small thing like wire harnesses...
The oil pan seal was because there was a tiny leak which they found. I didn’t see any oil on my driveway but they did show me. Whenever they tell me something, I make them show me. There is an upper and lower oil pan seal on the k2xx. When I left the dealer and was driving home I saw the message...
Yes it is easy to change. I would call your local dealer or gmpartsdirect.com and ask for the updated vlom. I have a 2018 Escalade now and when I get rid of it I will buy a low mile 2020 platinum than the first thing I would do is change the vlom and use Dexo 1 gen. 2 or gen.3 Mobil 1 oil with...
Take your truck to John at Destroyer Auto in Riverside CA. He changed my engine for $5100 on my 2008 Escalade and gave me a 6 year unlimited mile warranty. He changed it in the summer of 2021 and the engine is better than new. I would also buy all 4 OEM o2 sensors and give it to him to change...
I would look at the rear struts to see if there is an electrical connection. Also you could look at the switch in the front overhead panel and if you see a switch that allows you to select 3 different positions for the rear hatch to open then you have the electric hatch. If it’s just a button...
Hardware or no-ware. I seen on Cadillac Forums and GM-trucks that people that use the Range AFM still having AFM failure. I have not seen people that get the tune have a issue but maybe I overlooked. I wouldn’t do it unless I changed out the camshaft and lifters from a non-AFM. It is very...
It may be normal and you noticed now. The exhaust is not loud on the 5.3 or 6.2 like the previous gen. They made the trucks quieter sometime in 2011 to cater to everyone. Not everyone loves the beautiful notes the Escalade & Tahoe make.
If you post a video or if you want to text me @ nine one seven, two five seven, one five nine four. I will tell you if it’s normal. I will send you back if you want to compare. There are sounds my 2018 Hybrid Camry makes that I did not notice until two years later. I found out it was normal...
I agree with the above post. I had a 2016 Tahoe LT brand new and a 2008 Escalade with active and I chose to drive the Escalade over the new Tahoe. I regretted everyday that I did not get the LTZ or Denali. I ended up getting rid of the Tahoe LT early 2020 and keeping my 2008 all the way till...
The tune up is not needed until you reach 100k. You could actually drive it to 150k without changing the spark plugs. The spark plugs, wires and tuneup should cost $420 at most. I would change the battery from AutoZone with the Duralast AGM platinum. Autozone will change it for free. The battery...
Tell us exactly what it’s doing. Does it only run for a few seconds when loading or starting the truck? Is the pump constantly running? Let us is know the situation so we can advise you correctly. If the pump is constantly running then disconnect the fuse or relay. You don’t want to burn out the...
You could drive with a failed pump. I drove from Miami to New York with no issues. If you hear it when you first start the truck for a few seconds then it’s normal. You don’t always hear it when starting the truck in the morning but it’s normal. You will hear it if your loading the trunk with...
I do notice it on my 2018 Escalade. I got use to it. I don’t know if you replaced your windshield and now you get it or do you have the original windshield? I also have heads-up display too. I didn’t notice if before I changed my windshield but it may have been there before I replace it. I also...
