    Hotchkiss Front and rear sway bars

    Yep.... JEGS had 5 sets. Tracking shows April 1 delivery. I'll post up my thoughts after I get them installed. Hopefully next week.

    24" tire sizes For 2017 Tahoe

    Maybe re-ask your question in the Lifted Suspension/4wd section (they would know) but my guess is the sweet spot tire size for a 24" rim would be something like 305/35R24.

    How to get 700hp (2017 Denali)

    I've got a 2020 Esky and I had the same question(s). Here's what I was told.... Reached out to Blackbear and the answer was "no". Reached out to Vengeance Racing and also a local tuner/dyno shop near me in Maryland and both said "yes". Reached out to Callaway and they quoted me $25k for...

    2015-2020 Locking Gas Cap

    Clearly you've never met my ex-wife!! LOL!! Jokes aside this is good intel. I quietly wondered the same thing.... Thanks!!

    Brake Upgrade

    My original goal was to build a lowkey sleeper truck that looks stock to everyone but people with a trained eye towards performance. I got lazy with that plan. I will be starting engine mods over the summer. Maybe I'll try to get the plan back on track then.

    Brake Upgrade

    Didn't see the 2020 model year Escalade on that list. I think the issue is the truck has an electronic e-brake. I had a 2016 BMW 535 with Dinan upgrades that I had the same problem with. Brembo up front. OEM in the rear.

    Brake Upgrade

    Reviving an old thread..... Just installed the GM/Brembo BBK and put about 500 miles on them. So far I'd say they live up to the hype. Less pedal travel, quicker engagement, truck stops quicker, and no vibration/pulse when compared to the OEM setup are all real. The main reason I went...

    Show off your 2015-2020 lowered tahoes and yukons

    Thanks! I was too lazy to take before and after measurements. Plus I have the added variable that I did the MaxTrac drop kit in between OEM and the Belltech so it could be that I really am down 2" from the original OEM height. Either way there was definitely less front wheel gap with the old...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The ride is pretty close to OEM in my humble opinion so I'm happy now. I had the Maxtrac 2"/3" kit on it originally which is just a front/rear spring swap. It rode good but was a little too firm for my tastes which is why I took the hit and re-did everything with Belltech. My only complaint...

    Show off your 2015-2020 lowered tahoes and yukons

    Removed the Maxtrac 2"/3" drop kit and installed the Belltech 1019 2"/4" drop kit. The Maxtrac was just a front/rear spring swap. The truck rode nice but was a little too firm for my tastes. Reinstalled the OEM springs on the Front MRC struts and installed the drop spindles. I like the ride...

    Installed the Belltech 1019 lowering kit and the GM/Brembo BBK. I'll post better pics after the custom exhaust goes on and I get the thing cleaned up.

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The boxes took a beating but more goodies got delivered today. Ditching my current lowering kit in favor of the Belltech 1019. I think I should probably start a build thread.

    Ha! I wish... It's more like I was slick enough to pick a fight with my girlfriend a few days ago so I could completely skip this holiday and spend the Valentines Day money on what I want. LOL!! j/k... I actually had some money finally come in from side work which is how I fund the...

    Looking for at Cat-Back systems ....

    Unfortunately the tip is welded on and probably 15 inches long. There is maybe 8 inches of pipe between the final resonator and where the tip starts. Simply cutting the tip would leave the exhaust exit too far under the truck for my tastes. I was working with a shop on fabbing up a custom...

    Looking for at Cat-Back systems ....

    I installed the same exhaust system. Like the sound.... I tried to like the tip.... but I hate it as well. Once the weather clears up some I'm going to take it to a custom exhaust shop and try to get them to mod something up so that everything looks more like the factory exhaust exit....

    Xineering Magneride Bypass Kits

    I'm thinking about ditching the front MRC struts and replacing with Belltech coilovers and the Xineering MRC delete kit but I'm wondering about the longevity of the kit itself. For those currently using the Xineering bypass kit how is the kit holding up?

    Front or Rear or Both Sway Bar?

    FYI: Hotchkis just told me late February is when the 2015 & up front/rear kit will be back in stock.

    New born 21 Escalade Sport

    Maybe someday it will grow on me but this styling cue right here (red circle) is one of the main reasons I jumped on a remaining inventory 2020 Escalade. I don't know what it is about the little upsweep that bugs the hell out of me but I hate it!!

    Engine Covers

    I'm on the east coast and it's dark AF outside right now. If no one else responds, I'll snap some pics in the morning when there is more light and post them for ya. Anything in particular you want to focus on?

    Got some growl installed today. Verdict is still out on the tip. Not really my style but my installer convinced me to give the look a try....

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Thanks for the heads up on the sound.... And I mean that sincerely. Interestingly enough, my Escalade already has a serious rumble with the stock exhaust which surprised me because the Denali was whisper quiet. In my case though the mod is less about sound and more about that 3.5" pipe...

    Ordered the Magnaflow 19177 Catback kit for the Escalade on Monday. Excited to see it shipped today . Hopefully by this time next week I'll have some sound clips to share.

    Wi-Fi working like crap.

    Is anyone else paying for/using the onboard wifi in these SUV's or am I the only idiot still trying to make this work? On my 2016 Tahoe the wifi worked like a champ. Traded the Tahoe in on a 2019 Yukon Denali and the service tanked. Traded the 2019 Denali in on a 2020 Escalade and the...

    Gibson Dual Sport Exhaust

    Based on that video clip the Gibson certainly does sound the part.... How is it in the cabin? Any drone?
