Two flats I have had two flats with the X in the almost 8 years I have owned it. First one I had a puncture by a 3/8 bolt at about 70 miles an hour.. Never felt it. DIC told me. I pulled over on the next freeway exit and sure enough bolt was sticking out of the tread. I left it in drove slowly...

Not normal for an Escalade I don't know what you are hearing or where in the vehicle the noise is coming from but it is not normal. I have owned 4 escalades including an 07 and now have and 11 and none of them have ever made any braking noise even when the brakes were nearing the end of their...

Leave it down I have had my X for almost 8 years now and during the summer I leave the top down all the time. In fact a couple years ago I left it for over 3 weeks while it sat in the garage under a car cover while I was out of town.. Whit the exception of the first week of ownership the top...

Complementary Service on used XLR I don't remember seeing a reference to complementary basic service in the 2004 XLR book but I did receive complementary service until the first 4 years of service expired at two different dealerships on my car. Same for warranty work. They looked up the vin and...

ZP tires I may be mis informed but information referred to me indicates that Michelin is discontinuing the run flat series, not the ZP tires that the XLR uses. I would contact Michelin directly if you cannot find tires at your location. Good luck JIM

Peeled mine off Mine started to get loose on one corner and I just peeled it off the fabric..took a little time and fingernail work to clean up. Afterwards I cleaned the visor with spray carpet cleaner. Looks like new and no decal. Thought about doing the other one but it is adhearing ok so...

CD's are a very aging technology Like transcriptions, reel to reel, 8 tracks, and cassettes, CD's are on the way out and soon even DVD's will be obsolete. Technology moves on. Personally I either listen to XM or mp3s. I have not purchased a CD in probably 8 or 9 years, but have done alot of...

tnx I have the same size on all 4 corners and don't see any directional arrows on the tires so I think the cross rotation will be ok. With out rotating I got 26 k on the first tires and have 11 k on these.

TNX Thanks Bruce.. will rotate per your recommendation. JIM

What is the latest theory? Do you rotate the oem run flats or not. When I first bought the car 7 years ago the dealer said no. Now I am hearing yes.. What is the current practice? thanks I am taking the car in for routine service this month and would like a heads up. JIM

good luck with oem battery It is interesting to read the various reports concerning battery life. The origional battery in my 04X ran with out a problem until January 09. I had it replaced with another oem battery that is still going strong. In 2008 the x sat in the garage for over 3 weeks, no...

misunderstood the question I dont know anything about aiming the fog lights..just the headlights

very interesting. Sure would like some details as to how it mates up with the drive train, accessories and electronics

headlight alignment Very easy to adjust vertically.Forgot the size of the allen wrench that will adjust but its around 1/8 inch but probably metric sized. There is a funnel at the side and top of the lamp assembly the allen goes in there..have fun tweaking

OEM tires I replaced the 4 tires with Michelin run flats at 26K..Had NO problems with vibration ever with the car. I did have to replace on tire at about 12 k when I drove over scrap on the freeway and put a huge hole in the tread..Thanks to the run flats I drove to a Michelin tire dealer who...

little off subject but still braking What are the thoughts of the group concerning replacing brake fluid when replacing pads? I have 67 k on the escalade and it needs pads. dealer says to replace the brake fluid. Never have done that on any car I have owned. Is this some thing new. does it...

previous cars I owned 7 corvettes, two firebirds, a camaro, a fiero and 3 eldorados before I bought the best of all,,my xlr

TSB's Are TSB problems corrected by the dealer paid by GM even though the vehicle is out of warranty?

XM radio I have XM in both my XLR and my wife's 07 Escalade and we Rarely have a reception problem in either car. In fact we just drove to Denver and back and the only loss of signal was in the mountain pass between Mesquite AZ and St Geo Ut and around Glenwood Springs Co. We never...

No luck :dunno:Maybe I am doing something wrong but even trying to change destinations would not turn the system off.. and to change destinations you have to be stopped. Gotta be a better way?
