I 2nd the clay bar, takes a bit of elbow grease but usually good results.

I dont have a centerfold 'hoe to submit, but I'd be very interested in buying a calender of this sort.

I was doing a search for similar problems too my own, but would like some assurance of whats going on here. My 'hoe has always lost a bit of coolant, usually 2-3 quarts a month. But know I have a full blown leak. She's streaming water somewhere above the starter aroung the block. I have read...

You may have a bad ground, I reason this on the horn sounding once while being probed with the DMM. The meter may have actually provided a temparary ground as it initially measured resistance or voltage unless you have a high dollar one such as a Simpson, Fluke (my choice) or Bird.

The taller tires may actually lower your gas mileage unless all of your driving is highway. Highway mileage may go up a little, but in town driving will decrease your mileage significantly with the larger tire.

They are about $80 at GMPARTSdirect.com and they claim to be O.E.M.

Don't base your purchase on price for this item. Go with OEM or NAPA, for some reason the after market pumps tend to fail at a high rate. But, gmpartsdirect.com has them listed at $81.

See if you can get a rebuild kit for the master cylinder. More than likely it is the seals have shrunk or distorted. If it were most any other component you would not get a stiff pedal at any time.

I like it, sounds great. Was putting together a similar setup with the exception that I am going to attempt puttting it under the hood. I dont off-road to much but the underbody does get a bit mudded up at a few of my fav fishing holes.

Remember to wait for the burp when you check the water level, which eliminates the air pocket that mygreen98 spoke of. My gawd, turning on the heat already. How for north are ya?

It's a sharp looking hood, hopefully there is an escalade owner out there that will give you enough for it.

You've covered most of my guesses, but I was wondering if you did the maintenance your self or not. If not, I would double check the fluid level in the rear end and repack the U-joints, but I believe they are sold prepacked these day's. Man that sure sounds like a U/CV joint.

That is a really nice looking truck, I especially the wheels given it a custom look without going over the top. I'd tuck those trailor hitch wires up to keep tire splash from getting in there and messing up your tail lighting.

Have you checked the freon/pressure levels.
