Somehow after 5 years, my truck decided to sit lower on the pass side by just over 3/4”. Or the driver side is magically higher lol. Idk if it happened gradually or what but I haven’t driven the truck in 4 months and just noticed how bad it was recently after I pulled the car cover off to just...
What do you guys think would be a good price to sell the whole cluster swap for? Cluster, plug & play harness and bezel. I’m selling my Suburban so I might take the Escalade cluster swap out and just throw the stock one back in
I can’t believe the issues I’m having with this upgrade. First it was the banjo bolts. After getting the right bolt and getting the brakes on, I find out one of my wheels isn’t oem and hits the caliper on one side but not the other. The other wheel has 1/4” of clearance. Oh and I couldn’t get...
This is what I don’t understand. That GM part number says 2002-2023 trucks. My truck is an 08 and my banjo bolt didn’t fit. I called the dealer and they told me they don’t list a banjo bolt for the PPV trucks so I was lost on the whole situation
Well since I couldn’t find help anywhere, I just brought the caliper to the hardware store to find what the thread size was. It’s 3/8-24 for anyone needing to know. The older banjo bolts are m10x1.5x23mm
I can’t believe the problems I’m having with these brakes. The GM part number for the banjo bolt says it’s for 02-22 trucks but the 6 piston caliper seems to be a different thread pitch
Just picked up my setup from the junkyard and they didn’t give me the banjo bolt. Does anyone know of the 07-14 bolt is the same? Rock auto lists the bolt as “except heavy duty” and I can’t find it on any GM parts site to cross reference

I have lithium in my truck. No front battery at all. Lead acid and agm would probably grenade if they were charged over 16v for an extended period of time. I measure in multiple places but I have the Escalade cluster in my suburban and it doesn’t have a volt meter but voltage at the ECU is...
Also, my truck has been charging between 16.0-16.4v with no issues on the stock electrical system for 2 years with nothing freaking out of burning anything up so don’t be afraid to charge a little on the higher side
For you guys trying to figure out voltage issues with these trucks, you can just unplug the current sensor and your voltage will always stay between 14-15v depending on the weather. Mine has been unplugged for 5 years with no issues
Or if you want a different solution that allows you to dial in...
I just scored this brake setup from the junkyard and was searching everywhere to see if they’d clear my stock Escalade wheels. This picture made my day lol
Welp boys I finally hit the jackpot after 3 years of searching. 6 piston PPV brakes at the junkyard. $278 total after tax for loaded calipers and rotors. They’ll have them pulled at some point next week
Did a little baby setup in the daily. Two sundown u6.5’s on a PRV 2k. Two PRV 6.5” coaxials in the front doors also on a 2k. Added a headunit in the center console and kept all the factory stuff everywhere else because I’d didn’t want to lose the factory 6 disc dvd changer
Sa few quick pictures. I’ll post a link to the whole rundown. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/doug118%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cthat-poor-suburban%E2%80%9D.144526/
easiest way is to get rid of the drop springs. Thats by far the worst way to drop the front of these trucks. Get spindles instead and you won’t have any issues.
If you insist on the drop spring, Moog makes an offset upper control arm bushing that you can put in your stock arms
It’s been one hell of an adventure. Today marked 5 years of ownership.
I think one last thing I’ll do before it goes will be to throw some 17’s on it with a tiny tire so I can be “slammed” with a huge wheel gap like all the wanna-be’s on facebook. The guy buying it is a manager at a tire shop...
If the Escalade was 2wd it would 1000% be bagged on 28’s but it’s awd. I may convert it to 2wd but I really don’t know if I want to make this a long drawn out project. I may just enjoy staring at a pile of money for a while
