Just upgraded from a 2015 Tahoe to a 2007 Escalade.

This thing is fun to drive. It has 98,000 miles. Starts and stops perfect. Appears to have good oil pressure and motor mounts.

I'm going to change the transmission fluid. What else should I do immediately?

I need to figure out if those rear console inputs can play sound throughout the entire truck. I might also look at blue tooth input adapter. Thoughts?


I just added a blue tooth adapter top my 2008 yukon. I used the costar bluestar. Disconnect the on star and uses the plugs from it took about 10 min to put in. But I can't figure out how to answer calls. They show in the dash display and the radio silences and rings. But I need to accept the call on the phone. Anyone have any solution for that?

Did plugs, cables and oil last night.

Just ordered a SCT tuner. My brother in law owns a performance shop. He has installed these on a couple of his cars and trucks.

He convinced me. Next week I'll post my review.

Impressed with the SCT x4 Tuner.

Very easy to use.
Lowered idle in park. Raised it in drive. Did a 91 octane tune.

Also raised transmission shift pressures but lowered WOT shift speeds.

The truck is much more responsive. It is fun to drive.

The truck is towing like a champ.

Gas mileage is about what I expected.

On the way to a party my rear air ride compressor was running excessively. I think it's time to order new shocks all the way around.

Can anyone tell me what kind of front shock I have (2007 2WD) based on this picture?

Best suggestions for rear?

Compressor sounds clunky. Replace or wait and see?

Don't replace the compressor until you no longer hear it. The rear shocks may have leaks causing the compressor to run continuously

I'm having a hard time trying to find out which front shocks to order. My glove box doesn't have the suspension codes. This is the shock:

I have a set of Arnott in the shopping cart ready for the back.
