Replying to: sj110 (May 21, 2006 6:46 am) When you put the boat on, the air compressor will kick in within 5 seconds, and restore the same rear height. On a side note, I have since lowered my Escalade by 2", by replacing the rear coils springs. This actually makes the vehicle "level". GM SUV's tend to have a large amount of wheel well clearance, and so it has the stink-bug look. I didn't want to alter the front end, since this affects the CV boots, axle angles and such, but I wanted the rear down a bit. I used a Hotchkis "leveling kit", designed for the '02-05 years. Seems GM didn't design different spring mounts. However the 1.5" drop kit created a 2" drop on the '07. Must be some extra weight in the rear of the new generation GMs. The air system pumps up 1/4 inch to make the total drop actually 1.75". The kit contains 2 coil springs, 2 replacement air-ride level sensor rods. Did the whole thing at home in 1 hour, using a floor jack, a bottle jack, and basic tools. Dave |

I was wondering if anybody else has noticed that whenever they put their A/C in the "recycle air" mode...You can still smell the air from outside? In all my prior and current vehicles (Honda and Ford) whenever the air was in this mode it entirely eliminated ANY outside air from coming in. The reason I ask is because when I'm following another vehicle that has a bad exhaust problem or going through an area where the outside air is being polluted...I can still smell the odor!! I have never had this problem before with my other vehicles and my dealer says that it's "normal"! Based on some of the other answers they have given me...I don't really believe them. Can somebody help me out here as I really don't think I should be smelling anything (or maybe just BARELY smelling it) when my A/C is in the recycle mode. Thanks in advance for anybody's help with this..........

It may be that the GM SUV's are pulling fresh air from an area that is susceptible to vehicle exhaust in front of you. Who knows. Dave |

| Any cargo liners available for these new trucks? | |
| I ordered a couple splash guards for my rear tires, but should I get another set for the front tires or do the running boards on the side do a good job of keeping rocks from dinging the doors? | |
