Got the handles back from paint today.

Realized you ask me a question and I never replied. About the connectors. I ended up getting enough of the brown - 3-Pin connectors to do all four handles. I went this route because I only need two wires. Problem now... I though I had the terminals for them. So I’ll sit on them for a while.

Just finished adding Escalade - Illuminated Door Handles. Made a "How-To" video for it. Took me about 6 hours but mainly due to recording the video.   Love the new look!   https://youtu.be/Y8I

Wanted to share some pics on the driver side door “Keyhole Delete” when retrofitting these handles.   Thanks to @cbrsilv15 for the tip!   I left my cylinder in the base as I didn’t want to mess wi

All done. Thanks to pgamboa for the writeup and supplies I needed to finish this.

Finally got some time off to go to the shop and get the handles painted to match my truck, Graphite Metallic. Most of the body shops are closed on weekends, so this took some time to get done. $220 to get them matched.

I really like how they turned out, matches really nice, as when I bought them, they were Tungsten.

Now, just need better weather up here in PNW so I can install them. I got the missing connectors that were back ordered, got them first week of December. ec5dcc6023adcb944509d47b4895932c.jpg6290072a2b39f9e38bebdb5f2ec6dad4.jpg

I've been busy with a lot of work, on top of family outing on my days off. Plus just this week the weather was ok to even really do anything outside here in PNW on a weekend.. haha

I'm also looking to upgrade my door speakers while I have the panels off, so I'm researching for speakers now as well.

For paint code, it should be GPA for the Graphite Metallic.

Either look for this part #23355922 or just search for 2015-17 Escalade Yukon LED Keyless GM Exterior Door Handle. At the time when I purchased mine, they had the complete set of 4. I bought mine from priorityautomotive2015

If I remember correctly, all 4 of the handles are basically the same for our trucks.  it's only on the SUVs that you need to make sure the front doors get the handles with the passive lock button.

This is correct. The rear handles will have a brown 3-Pin connector whilst the front handles will have a 5-Pin white connector.

You only need 2-wires for the Puddle Lamps (power and ground). So if you can find (2) - Pairs of either, you’ll be fine. It’ll al be custom anyway.

You will need to transfer (2) inserts off of the smaller part of the handle. The illuminated handles will all have a steel base insert (not in the handle itself, but on the smaller part). I don’t remember if it’s the rears or fronts that need to transfer.

The harnesses - no, because they are for an Escalade.

Here is my video on how I installed these. That seller sells just the handles if you want to go this route.

I show all the details here. Will work for 2014 - 2018 trucks.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
