A reporter is looking to talk with someone who bought a large suv or truck within the past year and is thinking about trading it in for a smaller vehicle. Please respond to jfallon edmunds.com with your daytime contact info and vehicle info by Monday, May 1, 2006.

Replying to: awf_axis (Apr 25, 2006 9:12 am) My issues: 1) I'm starting to hear the NAV DVD constantly spin and find this annoying. Any fix for this or is this normal? 2) I do see the driver's side mirror shake on the highway. What exactly is the fix for this? I doubt my dealership would know. 3) How do I know if my HED lights are aimed to high? I went on a trip at night on a one lane highway and i had to keep my finger on the highbeam flash as 1 out of 3 cards would flash me and get mad at me when I didn't even have my high beams on! I'm not sure if having the 22" wheels makes the angle higher and as a result they need to be tilted down? Thanks

Replying to: auto007 (May 04, 2006 7:47 pm) I saw the mirror issue mentioned somewhere and it's a known issue. I think the dealer fix is inserting a piece of foam somewhere. Your dealer should know about it. Either I don't notice the DVD or it's not happening for me. I get flashed too but I think it's because the car's so high it blinds people just like I used to be blinded when I had my E500. I suppose your dealer could check it out for you. I love the car. Everyday I find a new little trick or gadget that I didn't know about. Good luck!!

Replying to: gap2006 (May 05, 2006 4:47 am) Auto007, the DVD/NAV is something that I've noticed in both a 2005 Denali and the Caddy too. It's just that it is pulling data from the DVD while you are moving. Do you have a bunch of POI's active? Since the cabin is so much quieter, it's a bit more noticable, but other than when in a quandry, I keep the music going. I am getting close to going to the dealer to resolve the things like the mirror, seats, etc. I just installed a leveling kit (short rear coil springs), which brought down the rear end by 1.5", making the vehicle level. Last night, I put on the "GM Accessories" molded splash guards. Kind of gives the Escalade the Land Cruiser look. It will grow on me I guess. When I first got mine, I also noticed the headlights were aimed too high. Usually, this is just one technicians "bad day", but to hear about 3 vehicles, I'm wondering. I adjusted mine right away, and had to do it again when I lowered the rear end. Basically, the left level of the light beam should not go over the road at about 200 feet out. The factory settings were such that it would project indefinitely at about headlight hieght, which is wrong. Dave

Replying to: gap2006 (May 05, 2006 7:22 am) Here's snapshot of the new flappers.  I got these from a GM dealership on EBAY. With shipping, it was cheaper than going local, and I got them in 3 days. The dealer in my area said it would be several days ust to get them in, and then a 35 mile trip to pick them up. $125.90 shipping/insurance included. If your interested, I'll give you the link. Dave

Replying to: gap2006 (May 05, 2006 9:56 am) Put them on last night. Comes with instructions, and screws, etc. Took a small socket wrench, phillips, and a drill to add a couple of holes in the plastic. About 40 minutes work all around. I do know the dealer will install these as well, and will actually provide a warranty. Don't know the labor cost, but I imagine at least 2 "book" hours. Here's a link on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-CADILLAC-ESCALADE-MOLDED-SPLASH-GUARDS-SET-O- F-FOUR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ50455QQitemZ8060953882QQrdZ1 They come pre-painted. The same vendor has a couple of other colors. Which one did you buy? Dave
