Gmt400 Escalade

[618 Syndicate]

Find a mechanic you trust and stick with them. Many opinions make for many expenditures.
Also, understand the difference between a parts changer and a mechanic.

Gave her a good cut and buff/wax the other day. Also found some period correct American racing rims. She goes in Monday for a 4” lift. Put 6k trouble free miles on her since July. A solid $5k investment so far I’d say.

I only run BFG KO2 on all my vehicles. They are just hard to find right now. I wanted 315/75/16 but they are on indefinite backordered so 285/75/16 will do.

I have pirelli scorpion plus’ they look mean as F! And only thing I’m finding is that they slip more than I’d expect to in the snow but I’m cue’ing that up to being so wide vs a “stock” skinner tire cuts threw the snow vs more of mash cut since the width? But super BLANKING clean bro!! 5k is what I paid for mine in 2011 and do keep those running boards PLEASE these Escalades lose part of their looks without them! 32.5” inches is basically the largest O.D. Outside diameter you can fit tire wise fyi and not rub! Along with 11.5” width totally fills out them wheel wells ! And you’ll still be able to run threw a car wash track if your like me then I head home and clean er up the rest of the way then she really turns some heads even though a lot of people don’t look to close at any slightly older rides only newer it seems but hey I don’t have to worry about it not being still there after coming outta store! Lol

So I really jumped on to say I called a pick n pull bye me and asked if they had one 99-00 Escalade and they actually said yes so I went Saturday morning and there one black 99 not in bad shape at all only back cargo window passenger side was broken and she had “sorry” ugly gmt800 fan blade 16’s wheels on her ugh! Lol shivering lol but I couldn’t believe it she was in really not bad shape to be there!! An best of all on these 2 MODEL YEAR ONLY ESCO’s the jumping interior was all there an way better than most I’ve seen!! Plus had the rear cargo shade still “I have mine” all dash was there so she musta been not waiting long for me lol! She had original FLOOR MATS!!! All 3 2 fronts an the long door to door rear!! I didn’t have that and they weren’t stained gave em light wash an they almost look new! So list I pulled an 1 extra I’m a try and go back to get. 1-floor mats 2-wood dash bezel with 3 stack +4x4 buttons 3-drivers seat bottom leather an foam 4-drivers armrest! I need to haved grabbed rear passenger side seatbelt dumby! Lol then saw 2 98-04 sts’ used to have 01 love that car! Popped dash up and grabbed the 3 Bose 1ohm tweeters to upgrade my Ford Fusion tweeters I have now good but I think sts’ will give me more the highs clarity I want from stock system.? But all but seatbelt was had for $40!!!!!!!! Wow I was so happy I was cold cold but I can’t wait to go back for a second round!! I’ll post pics of my bounty hopefully tomorrow!! Thanks y’all for all the support on here even if it’s just to express a great pickin of parts!

Still need to clean seat bottom and armrest and do a real vacuum and do it yourself spray wash on the floor mats.
