Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Can't find where to hook up the memory in the 79. Radio resets when off, anybody know of a simple general place to run it to?

Put the ignition wire to any switched source then put the yellow power wire straight to the battery or something that has a strong constant 12v that you wont overload.

Ok thanks, guess that's why at high volume radio shuts off too. This old truck has 3 wires only, had to start guessing.

Thanks

*the ignition wire is red on the headunit

Should be spade slots in the top of the fuse box, some constant power, others keyed. You will get the least ground loop whine this way and don't need to go through the firewall.

Got some extra 8 gauge just ran a short run from battery, if if whines I'll rip the dash out and kick the dog then set the truck on fire. Lmao

Fat guy under small dash feels like tommy boy in a airplane bathroom. Hahah

I'm partial to the cigarette lighter in older vehicles myself.  It's usually the closest place for a constant, and if you don't smoke, even better.

Supposed to list my house for sale on Monday. I'm a little hesitant since it's almost Xmas.

Not a scratch. Not bad for 29k

[S.DeYoung 968]

Not bad for a big black turd

[ssh 924]

Does it come with forties?

[///M5 2,833]

It is a plastic pos on the inside

[///M5 2,833]

Came with a six pack of colt 45

[S.DeYoung 968]

Looks good Sean, can't wait to see what you do with it

[ssh 924]

Nice!

[S.DeYoung 968]

Hopefully mickeys

[swift 501]

Nice, I like them a lot. New that are almost 80k now. Crazy

[///M5 2,833]

Noisy SOB as well. Can't believe the road noise. The 02 chassis volvo smokes it in NVH in that regard. I thought the newer ones were better, conveniently I have weekly calls with the guy who designed the NVH package and updates for them

Escalades are garbage. No way I'd ever buy one over any other "luxury" vehicle.

Lol. No holding back.

I've drove worked on and tore apart damn near every vehicle built. The Tahoe is what it is. The escalade is for the ignorant buyer that's clueless about other options in its price range. There is no justification for its price.

[///M5 2,833]

Could say that about any 70k+ sport Ute. I just bought the cheapest to make fast

[///M5 2,833]

Or help any new car buyer.

*hell

Since youve torn one apart though I have a question. What all will be needed to fit 8's in the doors?

Fun drive from Philly area today in the snow storm.

Not any room in the door itself. The window track runs down right beside the speaker cut out. Pretty much the entire enclosure will need to be housed in the panel.
