    Difference in brake Calipers

    You should have at brake system flushed. I have this done around 70,000 miles. It makes a big difference with the brake pedal feel and stopping. I also upgraded to the PPV brake rotors and ceramic pads. I did all this to our 2009 Tahoe years ago. Have since traded at in.

    RFI: Super Cruise Ownership Pro & Cons

    Our 21 Escalade has SC and I love it. I use it all the time on the interstates. Helps with fatigue. We make several trips a year from Indiana to Hilton Head, use the SC everywhere other than going through the mountains. I feel in better control with all the curves.

    Used Escalade or New ‘25 Yukon /Tahoe/ Suburban?

    One of the best thing with the 3.0 Duramax is it 75mph I am getting 30+ mpg, 80mph it drops to 27mpg, around town 22 to 24mpg. Can't beat that!!!!! Especially with the price of premium fuel!

    Best place to buy pads and rotors.

    Stop Tech, cryo is a deep freeze added treatment. One set I got from Stop Tech the other from Tire Rack. These were used on our 09 LTZ before we traded at

    Best place to buy pads and rotors.

    If you are planning on keeping the vehicle go with OEM AC/ DELCO, or I went with Advanced Auto higher end parts, upgraded to the PPV rotors and pads and never had any issues. All for less than $600. In the past I tried cryo, drilled, slotted rotors and in no time had rotor run out.

    Used Escalade or New ‘25 Yukon /Tahoe/ Suburban?

    Traded our 09 LTZ for a 21 Escalade Platinum 3.0 Duramax. Love it, sad Cadillic is dropping the Duramax for 2025. I would go for the Suburban with the Duramax.

    Traiding in 2021 Tahoe High Country for 2021 Escalade worth it?

    We traded in our 2009 Tahoe for a 2021 Escalade Platinum and love it. I would go for the 3.0 diesel, we are getting 30+ mpg on the hwy and 20-22 mpg in town. I found a CPO with 50,000 miles. Ours has the Super Cruise which is really cool. We loved our Tahoe but it was needing replaced. I...

    Problems With New Engines And How It Is Handled

    Agreed with getting what you want. We had a 2009 Tahoe LTZ with 189,000 miles no major issues. Replaced it with a 2021 Escalade diesel, love it! We needed to stay with the full size GM suv due to fit to g your dog crates in it. Get what you want and that works for your need.

    Upgraded to a 2021 Escalade

    Yes found a CPO @ Cincinnati Cadillac. They were great to deal with, it was worth the 90 mile dtive. Found several with lower mileage at Cadillac dealers but were not CPO.

    Upgraded to a 2021 Escalade

    Yep, had 180,000 miles on the Tahoe. No major problems, was a very good vehicle. Hope the Escalade will be that reliable.

    Upgraded to a 2021 Escalade

    Replaced our 2009 Tahoe LTZ with a 2021 Escalade 3.0 Duramax. Didn't want to spend that much on the Escalade, but now that we have it glad we did. The SUV is outstanding. We live in Southern Indiana, found it at Cincinnati Cadillac. Hats off to Cincinnati Cadillac, they were very easy and...

    new 2009 Tahoe LTZ owner

    Had that same problem also. Oil pressure gauge on the dash was showing 0 oil pressure. Was going to replace the oil switch myself but decided to let the dealer do it. If you do it I would use a AC Delco / GM switch, no after market. There are plenty of on line videos on how to access it...

    new 2009 Tahoe LTZ owner

    We have a 2009 Tahoe LTZ also with 178,000 miles on it. I would not disable the air ride, we love to smooth ride you get with the air ride. I replaced the shock and air pump several years ago with OEM parts on ours. If I did it again I would remove the spare before replacing the shocks, it...

    6.2 gas vs. 3.0 Duramax, which one to buy?

    Looking to get a 2021 - 2023 Escalade, not sure to get the Duramax or the gas? What kind of mileage (MPG) are people getting? Both are about the same torque. I do tow a ski boat or a JD compact tractor at times. Have not had any trouble with towing using our 5.3 Tahoe.

    Suspension help.

    Our 2009 LTZ rides like a dream with 158,000 miles. I would check the front sway bar links. Awhile back ours was handling funny, checked and one sway bar link was gone and the other had worn out bushings. If the front struts and rear shocks have not been replaced with that mileage they are...

    Police vs Civilian front brakes (again, sorry)

    The Police rotors will work. I put the Police rotors (front and rear) on our 2009 Tahoe LTX. I had replaced our rotors twice with StopTech Cyro rotors and had warped rotors both times. Going to the Police rotors with over 5000 miles on them now no rotor run out yet. I went with the Advanced...

    Where's It Going (coolant)???

    You can get the tablets @ a GM dealer, I also saw them at Advanced Auto in the GM package. I forgot to mention during our research about this, GM recommends adding the tablets anytime the coolant is changed or replacing the water pump or any major component where you loose the coolant.

    Where's It Going (coolant)???

    My brother had a 2004 with the same issue. GM had an issue with the material heads were cast with and would seep coolant through the porous material. GM has a tablet to put in the radiator. He put the tablet in and it took care of the problem. It would be worth a try.

    Anyone pull a dump trailer with their Tahoe/Yukon

    I pull a 18' car hauler with my John Deere 4200 compact utility tractor (front loader / rear blade) with no problem, although not daily. I did add a aftermarket bake controller (CURT 51140 TriFlex Electric Trailer Brake Controller) from Amazon $70. Easy install, wiring is right above the knee...

    2010 Escalade suspension issues

    Got the new shocks installed this evening. Although this past weekend (before new shocks) when towing the boat the pump was not running. What fuse powers the pump? Or the pump when bad?
