So i have had my Denali for a while, love it, have the title...great truck,
But i have been wanting an escalade ext for a while now. Found a blk/blk 07 in good condition with 91k for 19000.
My question is; how do you long term owners like them? Im sure a lot of you have come from the NBS...
to make a long story short I've wanted a nnbs EXT for a long time. I have a great truck now (really clean 05 sierra denali crew cab) but i like the utility of the escalade ext.
I actually bought one in late feb (black 07), had it two days, then took it back and got refunded because it was...
Does the rear bulkhead fold down separately from the seats? Is there anything Avalanche specific that is attached to the rear seats?
I ask this because i am thinking of getting an 07 esky ext and plan on swapping to rear captain seats eventually (out of an 07+ suburban). I have a NBS sierra...
So I ended up with rear captains from an 03+ Denali to put in my 05 GMC. I remembered after buying them that Denali's have rear seat heaters....looked under the ones I bought and confirmed this with the wire pigtail coming out.
So fast forward to this weekend, I ended up getting hold of an 03+...
I was really hoping to be able to do it in like a brushed titanium style vinyl but the dash bezel would be ridiculous to do with all it's contours. maybe hydrodip??
Chase maybe im just weird but since the overwhelming majority of my vehicles have been black, I just think of the upkeep for them as the standard. Anything other than black (like my white 04 Tahoe) is just a bonus in easy car care.
As for care I have found that Adams visco-clay, some FG400...
Skidmark you have a very good point, In fact im glad you re-affirmed it because I told the guy with the Yukon we would graciously pass.
As for the escalade, I was told it has new front struts, and motor mounts so that handles almost every situation.
Funny thing is I started tallying up taxes...
Ya I had my own little detailing gig for about 3 years. Somehow I still end up with black lol. If I had to choose I'd go quicksilver on black, that's a good setup.
So let me get this straight, the 6.2's DO NOT have AFM??
Well I love the escalade looks and drive a black nbs crew Sierra Denali so I'm familiar with care. I would love driving the escalade because the interior is that much more special.
With that said, the Yukon felt tighter, and the drivetrain combo would yield less problems since it's not AWD...
What kind of stuff can you do for the active fuel management. I didn't really know that that is an issue is it like the Pontiac G8 where the lifters can fail
polish it like you would the outside of a car. If you don't have any polishing equipment just buy one of those powerballs for your headlights and hook it on to the end of the drill.
I will be doing a 3/5 or 4/6 on whichever I buy. Looking for first hand opinions. here are the two vehicles im interested in:
08 Yukon SLT fully loaded (literally) 60k miles, white diamond tri-coat with tan interior (im not crazy about that...would like black)
07 Escalade again, fully loaded...
sometimes i have to go up from park and turn the wheel a little bit, then i can hear a little "click" then it falls into drive no problem...doesn't sound likt it would be a solenoid thing though. maybe a streched shifter cable?
275/45/20 is a good tire on a dropped limited.
i cut a coil and a half in the front and did shackles in the rear. cheap but effective. rides pretty bad though
im glad everyone likes them! now if my factory center caps would show up...
hey tahoelimited- ill sell you my 20" torque thrust replicas for cheap (like $650 with tires) the have some peeling on the machined part but would make your truck look really good. heres a pic of my truck with them:
