Replying to: junglegeorge (May 18, 2006 10:52 am) You are correct. The 5.7 was retired prior to '01. I'm mostly familiar with the 6.0 ltr ('01 Denali), and the 5.7 in the '96 Suburban, so this didn't cross my mind.   I would have to guess that its a matter of the newer platform, meaning frame, suspension, curb-weight, cooling, that is made them revise their ratings.   Dave Replies to this message: killen (May 18, 2006 12:31 pm) awf_axis (May 18, 2006 1:09 pm) 73shark (May 18, 2006 2:53 pm)

Replying to: killen (May 18, 2006 12:31 pm) I believe this is part of the double seals used to help make the ride quieter. It also keeps rain and mud from entering the area where the latch is, and on the lower sill. Other than getting some wax on it, and having to put armour-all on it, it doesn't seem that big a deal.   My wife's BMW has a similar double seal on the rear doors, but they do a better job of hiding it.   Dave

Replying to: killen (May 18, 2006 12:31 pm) My 2002 TrailBlazer had the same type of exposed weatherstrip and never seemed to be a problem. Hope my '07 LTZ proves out as well.

Replying to: junglegeorge (May 18, 2006 8:28 am) I'm guessing it has to do with the extra curb weight. The new design gained at least 500lbs. IF the GCVWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) didn't change and the curb weight increased then the tow rating goes down.   The decreased towing capacity is interesting. Heck, the current Explorer is rated to tow more.   Lots of things effect tow ratings. HP & torque probably have the lowest effect on what the ratings actually are. The suspension, chassis, brakes, and transmission etc. are far more important in determining what a vehicle can safely tow. Look at 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. The diesel option does not increase tow ratings over the biggest gas engine.

Replying to: awf_axis (May 17, 2006 7:28 pm) Thanks for the info. My old Yukon did not have autoride. What kind of hitch do you use on a Denali? (2" drop, etc.) assuming it keeps level when you hook up the trailer. I used to have a hitch that was flipped over to raise the trailer level on my old truck because the backend would sink everytime I hooked up my trailer.

Replying to: sj110 (May 19, 2006 11:59 am) Same here. I had a 2" drop, that I flipped UP because the boat trailer needed it high. I had a Schuck cushioned hitch.   On the new Escalade, I had to change to a 4" drop to maintain the same hitch-ball height. There's a 6" difference.   Dave Replies to this message: sj110 (May 20, 2006 3:22 pm) awf_axis (May 21, 2006 6:15 am) sj110 (May 21, 2006 6:46 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: jnrz (May 11, 2006 3:59 am) I installed the GMC performance exhaust cat back single side with the dual wall angle cut tip. My first time with exhast upgrade ---sounds great - gets better mileage unless I am showing off the rumble to the cars trying to race me....
