New guy with 99 Escalade

[Ceejkay]

Great site you guys have here. A little bit about the truck. I picked it up at the end of feburary from a friend for 900$. The previous owner had let it go for the last 2 years and it needed some work. So far i have replaced the most of the front suspension components, ball joints, tie rod ends ect. It barely even ran but i figured it was a chevy and if i needed a crate motor or rebuild it i would still be ahead. Did a good tune up; rotor,cap,wires,plugs,fuel filter, and battery. And surprise, surprise truck runs like a champ with no codes... 9 months ago it had a reman transmission put in(i have the receipt and warranty was transferred to me) It came with the 22's but because the front was bad for so long the tires are in rough shape for only being 1 yr old. So at the end of a long story i have put 350$ in the truck and it now runs great. I still have a few things to do but im overall happy with my 1250$ purchase..

Thanks for the welcome.. Sorry im in Ft. lauderdale FL, and its mighty warm already. Another thing on the truck i forgot to add is its 4x4, and has the 3rd row seats..

 

[07Burb]

Is the 3rd row custom?? I didn't think they offered a 3rd row in 99 for the OBS rigs....

 

[Ceejkay]

im pretty sure the 3rd row seats are stock. the only thing custom to the truck is the rims.. ill do the rare vin check and see what comes up

I could very well be wrong about the 3rd and have bad info but I've always thought that the 3rd row was not available in the obs hoe/esky/kon rigs.
