    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    My trailers are either equipment trailers way too large for a 1/2 ton, or big box trailers. I pulled a big stealth box trailer with a pintle, 14 or 16 by 8.5. I couldn't see jack, and the trailer was pushing the truck around when I forgot to hit the manual brake. Even with the gain all the way...

    05Alive's 2005 Denali Resuscitation

    NY does the cams too? Damn. I might get the tint all done, then steal the windows off my plow truck for inspection. Windshield I'll just have to settle for a 6" strip or paying 150 every year to retitnt it. I need the windshield replaced so I'm not going to touch it for now.

    05Alive's 2005 Denali Resuscitation

    Uh oh. My dad just got denied at what used to be "the place" for inspections because he has his fronts matched to the rears. My friend also got denied there because he has fat cheater slicks on his truck that stick out like 1/4 inch on each side. MA switched over to a new system with live...

    99 2 door lift chrome etc. Burr's Build

    I'll buy the sundown 5.25 coax's. Sundown makes really good stuff, as does EMF. I'm going to do the SA components in the front because I have bose, but if I was doing coaxs I'd do the EMF swags or the SA coaxs. I think the Swags are waterproof too, my dad wants to do some on his boat.

    Advice needed

    Yes, Chihuahua. The earlier Ford diesels (7.3, 6.0, 6.4) where built in Indianapolis IIRC. DMAX is a joint venture between Isuzu and GM. Isuzu is a Japanese company so I have no idea why some cummins guy would be spouting off about it being a Chinese engine. They have a couple joint ventures...

    26s rubbing bad

    go smaller tires/wheels or trim plastic. Cut out most of the front of the plastic liners on my plow truck last winter because it was rubbing with the plow on and tearing out the liner. Better than ripping the liner off and sending it under the wheel and then truck. Did that a few years...

    Aging 2004 Tahoe dilemma

    I'll roll 300,000mi before the end of the month I believe. There are lots of wear items. BJs, seals, sensors, gaskets, they all start to go and need to be replaced. You can do things as they need to be replaced or you can tear everything apart and do most of it in one swoop. It'll be more money...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    DNW to tow with an escalade. Towed with the 15 Denali and swore off ever towing anything bigger than a small landscape trailer ever again without a truck. The slop in the pintle smashed the truck around, the mirrors aren't tows so I couldn't see around the trailer, and all in all it wasn't...

    Bro what? The 6.6 Duramax v8 is built at DMAX in Moraine, Ohio, on a lot right next to the Detroit Diesel factory. https://www.google.com/maps/place/DMAX/@39.7053594,-84.2232578,354m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x443dd10e14afc3b6!8m2!3d39.7050219!4d-84.2238677 Put down the pipe

    Advice needed

    1. if you have the cash for the duraburb you have the cash to find a shop to work on it. Plenty of places will work on it (including duraburb) just maybe not a dealer. One of my friends gets her car serviced at a place that specializes in souped up and tuned cars, they always have a 6.0 swapped...

    Lift limitations in Massachusetts

    OP- 2 of my close friends just got denied from stickers for tint and wider than stock wheels (not even lift or emissions) from a place that used to pass them all the time. The shop owner was scared of the cams. They had to find another place to go, which they did, but after calling around they...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That's quite a system And I'm over here scratching my head about how to build a single 12 or 2/10 enclosure and how to set everything up lmao

    Advice needed

    Get a denali or an escalade. The l86 is awesome engine, plenty of power. The 5.3 will feel sluggish compared to the 6.2. The 6.0 feels sluggish compared to it. It also has dod, and thus gets great economy cruising down the highway. The magnetic suspension feels awesome on the highway, very...

    paint, leather and rust proofing ?

    They're going to charge you a fortune for scotchguard, armorall, a sealant/coating, and spray on parafin/oil. A local detailer can do a wax or sealant, or a coating like cquartz for less and probably give you a better product, or you could DIY easily. Leather protectant is a scam. Buy some...

    Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

    The little things are the hardest and take the most time and money. It's easy to drop a truck at a body shop and say paint this and shave that, and if you can write a check the suspension is easy. Tracing down every little issue and detail, especially with things that might not occur till long...

    Questions on HD hood swap...

    If you wanna get technical they never put out a "3500hd" gmt800. They're all just badged as 3500. Just a weird little bit of info. OP try and find a junkyard one, and have it bodyworked. Best bet to find a decent one for not outrageous prices.
