Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

True, but I'll take the LQ9 6.0L over a 5.3/4.8 anyday! Nothing makes me happier than mashing on the go pedal and waking the beast

I've got an 03 Z71 Silverado with the 5.3 great truck but love the 6.0 better more power, same mileage maybe a tiny bit better and has a good exhaust note for stock exhaust

The family I live with puts 87 in their 2005 esky esv 6.0. I'm like ..... as far as I know the nbs Denali trim wasn't ever offered in 2WD. They were built with all AWD.

Damn that's no good it doesn't knock at all? Cause the owners manual says 91+ but I've seen some run 87 with no issues I still wouldn't risk it I'd rather pay the extra and know I'll have no issues

I've never noticed any knocks. I wouldn't risk it either. I run my denali's 6.0 on 91 no matter what. Lol. Mine hasn't had any issues in that regard either. But mine is a little better maintained than theirs because of the fact that I rely in it for my business every day and it drives every day.

That's terrible, I would have thought the LQ9 would run like poop with anything less than 91 octane in it. Unless ofcourse you tuned it specifically to run 87, in which case you should be in the puzzle factory...

Thanks I think you said you need brakes too? Look at the Wagner brakes they coat the edges etc so they don't rust

Wiped the dash & seats down looks pretty good for 160k miles (drivers seat bottom is on the to do list)
