    97' Lil' Blue Build Thread

    Well, I've thrown in the towel. I've gone too long without a vehicle, and I can't figure out what's wrong with the truck. I just purchased a one owner 2004 escalade esv platinum. The only reason I picked up this model and year is because I know my new transmission will work with the lq9. I wish...

    97' Lil' Blue Build Thread

    Still down, transfer case doesn't seem to be the issue. After much searching, it appears as if my problem is very common. Starts up great, idles great, starts going down the road great... then it bogs down and starts to backfire and won't go any faster. However, if I reset the codes with the...

    97' Lil' Blue Build Thread

    Well, she's down again. I need to replace the transfer case, and I'm trying to decide whether I want to get one used or get one that's been re-manufactured. The one from gearshop1945 looks to be a good option considering the price, the 18 month warranty, and the fact that they can get it to me...

    The Member Truck Thread

    Is it me or are lifts getting smaller? To make it worse, the welder left her in 4wd and I think I screwed something up not knowing.

    I've also found out about the soundoff signal ignition security system, and really thinking of getting it because the features are perfect for my needs. It would be so nice to leave the ac or heat running without someone driving off with my truck.

    97' Lil' Blue Build Thread

    The new horn is such an eyesore, so I'm building a cover for it. This will also keep it away from weather better. I went to the salvage yard, and I now I have even more parts to install. I got the auto-dim mirror, camaro dual fans, and a few small things. My material for custom skid plate showed...

    Since I'm waiting on the trans, I started on the small things. New horn installed. It's not obnoxious, but will definitely get your attention. Need to find my heat shrink to finish it off.

    Well, everyone and their brother kept telling me to get a torque converter since I'm doing transmission. I was going to get the blazer trans, as recommended in threads here, but I didn't want the transmission shop pointing fingers should something bad happen. I can at least say that it'll be a...

    Need help finding replacement parts for lift kit

    Thanks Frank! I finally found out it's called kicker bar bushings or crush sleeves. In addition I found RCD part # 10-41089 to be a replacement and awaiting it's arrival.

    Need help finding replacement parts for lift kit

    Any one know what the part is that is missing from the circled areas in this pic? I suppose they're called bushings, but that doesn't help when finding the part for replacement.
