    You'd Think I Was 16 & Picking Out A Prom Dress

    I hear you on the 2015s. I sold my 2015 Tahoe LS and upgraded to an 07 Escalade. Much nicer vehicle. The new Tahoe had weird issues that bugged me. Wasn't as roomy inside, headlights were bad, too many electronics, lift gate was too tall, etc. 403hp is fun too. If I were in your shoes I'd get...

    New engine for 2013 Yukon XL

    Yes. This is unbelievable.

    Back in an Escalade.

    Not completely related. I welded together a trailer hitch bike rack for the Escalade. My wife very reluctantly agreed to watch me make sure my welds were strong.

    Can you open your lift gate while your truck is parked in your garage?

    That's cool. I try to get it where the chrome badge on my tailgate hits the wood trim.

    Back in an Escalade.

    While breaking apart the old heated seat connector, I ended up just cleaning it and shaping it. AC seats work again. I'll eventually use the new module but the old one works for now. AC seats are pretty wild. I had only used them once prior in a Mercedes. In the Escalade I had to turn it off...

    Oh you're talking about the transmission fluid video. Lot's of caffeine and a baby with short attention span off camera. She's ready to require my attention at any second. Have to do things quickly.

    Back in an Escalade.

    Although the dealership changed the oil 2000 miles ago, I wanted my stuff in there. With the potential cold start wear on my c as m bearings, I wanted to get a full synthetic 0w30 oil in the engine. I dud a premature oil, filter and air filter swap today. Spark plugs and cables have been...

    Back in an Escalade.

    My front cigarette lighter and heated/cooled seats aren't working. Fuse number 53 fixed the cigarette lighter. Scraping and cleaning this did not fix the seats. I can still here a click when I try to use them though.

    I'm not sure. Mine is only 2wd. My mileage was also 65-75 highway with 91 octane.

    These wheels clean up awesome! ---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 11:19 PM ---------- Just rolled 100K on my first road trip. I'm doing a 100% fluid change. Here's my setup: And here is a video to show how brown the oil is...

    Back in an Escalade.

    Was yours AWD? I specifically wanted RWD in this SUV for economy. I think it helps a bit. (I have a jeep on 35s for the one day it snows per year) Today I was on the Peak to Peak trail in the Rockies. I was going up and down the mountain in towing mode. MPG dropped down to 20.4. I was...

    Back in an Escalade.

    We're 750 miles into this road trip. 07 Escalade has definitely been an upgrade over 15 Tahoe LS 4x4. It's very pleasant to drive. 403 HP makes passing fun too [emoji2]

    Back in an Escalade.

    Thanks! The truck runs awesome but I'll probably do plugs and wires soon anyway. I'm not ruling out a tune either. I know this engine/transfer combination has tons of potential.

    Back in an Escalade.

    Out on a 1500 mile road trip. Impressed with my gas mileage. We were usually 65-70mph.

    Back in an Escalade.

    Just upgraded from a 2015 Tahoe to a 2007 Escalade. This thing is fun to drive. It has 98,000 miles. Starts and stops perfect. Appears to have good oil pressure and motor mounts. I'm going to change the transmission fluid. What else should I do immediately? I need to figure out if those...

    First Things You Would Do To a 6.2 Escalade?

    Thanks for the pictures and response! I'm certain on a full fluid change. I need to read more on catch cans. Catch cans were a common fix on my BMW with a CCV problem. Replacing the system was cheap and easy for me instead of catch cans. I try to keep a stock appearance when possible. Catch can...

    First Things You Would Do To a 6.2 Escalade?

    I'm hopefully purchasing a 99k mile 2007 Escalade (if he resolves title issues). It is AWD and has no piston slap or oil pressure issues. It needs driver motor mount. Otherwise it is cleaner than my previous 2015 Tahoe. I plan on doing fluids everywhere. Maybe plugs, wires and MAF cleaner. My...

    Can you open your lift gate while your truck is parked in your garage?

    This issue, among other things, were annoying about the 2015 Tahoe. It has been sold.

    Not thrilled

    Got rid of my 2015 Tahoe and have not once regretted it.

    Can you open your lift gate while your truck is parked in your garage?

    Test drove an 08 Escalade. I believe the tallness of the 4x4 Tahoe combined with the hatch design made it unuseable in our garage. The previous Escalade was perfectly fine. In the new Escalade my wife can actually reach through the rear glass if needed. Also, the rear captains chairs and push...

    Can you open your lift gate while your truck is parked in your garage?

    I know this is a silly question. My 02 would allow me to pull into my garage and open the trunk to unload the groceries. My 2015 would not. I had to temporarily park outside in the snow and rain to unload everything. If I opened the lift gate in my garage it would partially open and the third...

    2015 resale value?

    Was a gift I didn't really like. Sold it. Used half to pay off mortgage. Other half will buy a nice Denali or Escalade.

    2015 resale value?

    Thanks man! No rush on the next purchase. Just logged on to read about 6.2s and NNBS features.

    2015 V8 acceleration slow?

    Just sold my 2015 back to the dealer. I'm looking at 6.2s now. This new Tahoe didn't drive as well as my old 02 Escalade. I'm ready to give the older generation 6.2 a shot. Done with unimpressive 2015.

    Not thrilled

    Completely agree on headlights. I almost modified them the first time I drove mine. Was catching flak because I was annoyed with a brand new car. The blind spots are bad too. I'm actually going to get rid of mine after 4000 miles.
