@@blueangels234 that’s so great to hear. I appreciate you sharing. We are capable! We can get stuff done with each other’s help! Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for the video! I wanted to see what my mechanic was talking about from the quote he gave me to replace them. Ugh! I don’t hear my compressor running anymore so I’m wondering now if it is burned out. (I haven’t replaced them yet) my Tahoe is riding like a 1800’s wagon so it’s gonna have to be done.
🤣 1800’s wagon. You’re awesome. You could check the electrical connector to the compressor if you wanted to verify it was getting signal and not turning on, which means the compressor is shot. If you know the rubber boot on the shock has holes and the compressor is not running then most likely they all need to be replaced. But don’t worry! The compressor is pretty darn basic to switch out as well so you can do it! I’d love to hear how it turns out!
Before you install them, you could coat the rubber with a dressing Keeping the heat, UV rays, etc from destroying the rubber and making it last a little bit longer.
Great video, i love it when people show actual struggles, let's me know what i will truly have to endure when i tackle the same task. Btw you favor the character Gregory from The Walking Dead. Thanks again. }i will be doing this for my 2016 Chevy Sub LTZ. I'm disabled so it will probably take me several days to GET IT DONE, but i still have tools from my working days. I just dread the spams that come when i do anything. #sicklecelldisease sux! Thanks again for your video.
Oh brother! I am so sorry to hear about your health. That's terrible. But I love that you're not letting it slow you down! What a Champion and example to all. And if you like the struggles, watch any one of my videos. They all seem to come with their fair share.😂😂 Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I have no doubt you'll get yours done better than me!
85 ft. lbs is what I found but the overall consensus is get them tight. You won't over tighten them unless your using a cheater bar or something crazy. Some aftermarket parts specs are as high as 135 ft. lbs. Just to give you some reference. Good luck on your project!
Thank you so so much for this information. Thinking vehicle is in need of a replacement. However it is riding OK. I don't hear the compressor activating. I'm wondering if I have more time? It is at one hundred k miles 😮
Appreciate the feedback @1-7-0-1! I believe cars and trucks can run much longer than 100k miles unlike the old days. But it all depends on how well they were maintained for that 100k miles. That makes all the difference in the world. Also, the geography of the vehicle. If you live in a cold, snowy environment, usually the frame and parts will rust out and fall apart long before the engine will quite. Hope that helps!
Any opinion on replacing the air shocks with regular non-air shocks. I’ve got the same ‘1800s’ wagon ride and would be interested in your opinion. Thanks :)
@@JJ-np1ig it is possible but there’s a lot to consider. You’ll probably throw DTC codes for your suspension and likely the ABS system as well if you just install the regular shocks. Also, the coil springs that come with an air shock system are traditionally very soft so they’d likely need to be replaced as well. If you’re not concerned with any of that stuff, then you can absolutely throw on standard shocks. Just things to be aware of and consider. Let me know what you decide! I’m interested in learning what the outcome is! Thanks for the great question and support!
Significantly cheaper. I’ve only had them on for a little over a month but have had zero issues so far! Compressor doesn’t run endlessly either. Well worth the effort!
I just did the same to our 2018 GMC Yukon XL Denali. I'm interested to know how much you paid for your shocks from the dealership. My dealership wanted over $800.00 for each shock. I got mine from Rock Auto (OEM's) for $407.00 each. Next up is the front struts. Magneride fluid had leaked out of all 4 shocks and one rear shock was busted.
I'd have to double check but I think around the same price as you paid. I had points and cought a sale though so I believe it would've been something similar to the $800 price tag. Amazon is a gamble. You can get OEM but you never know if it's real or a counterfeit anymore unfortunately.😩 Great job though! I'd love to hear how the front struts turn out! Thank you so much for the support!
@@Srdelkuerno it’s difficult to say. The bag itself isn’t necessarily going to be the only sign. There is still an inner shock that will have been compress when you installed it. The main thing is the ride (does it feel stiff and bumpy?) and if your compressor continually runs. Do you hear the compressor for a few seconds when you first start the car? If so, you should be good.
Hi I have a 2017 suburban premier I can not for the life of me find the oem part number for rear shocks and mine are so dirty and caked up I can’t find it on the nose ones on the vehicle. Can you help me out?! Is it the same as yours? Is it the magneride z95? I can’t even confirm if that’s the right type for my vehicle. Can you help?
@@corrinwade6132 I found GM Part # 84176675/AC Delco Part #84176675. I use gmparts.com to find specific part numbers. You can find them on the diagram then do your own research as to where you want to buy them from. Just be careful. There’s a ton of counterfeit parts online now. Hope that helps!
I remember when I was a kid we would go into the Sears service center for shocks and you buy they shock and they installed it for free. My how times have changed. I would never pay more than $100 to get shocks installed. anything more is just someone taking advantage of your inability to turn a screw.
Great question! Your vehicle will ride pretty rough. They’re the main shock absorber in the rear of the vehicle. Eventually your compressor will burn out as well which is an additional cost if you ever want to get it repaired. But ultimately, you can continue to drive the vehicle. It may contribute to a bit more wear and tear on it though. GM loads their vehicles up with plastic bits which like to wiggle loose and even fall off when the vehicle is riding rough for an extended period of time. Appreciate the question and support!

Repair shop wants 1,200 to do this repair. I found shocks on Amazon for 299 for the pair. Saved me 900 bucks! Thanks for the video for the confidence.
Me too
That's so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. So glad it went well and you were able to save a ton. Nicely done sir! Appreciate the support!
So great to hear. Appreciate the support!
Thanks for your video!!! It has helped me build the confidence to tackle this job.
@@barnyard4068 that’s so awesome to hear! Great job going after it. I’m sure it’ll work out great! Thank you for sharing!

@@Mason-fv1zl great idea! Though here in AZ we might as well dip the entire vehicle in a dressing as all the parts seem to disintegrate. 🤣

If you do have a leak in the air lines check the air bags in rear coil springs ... Yes take the liners off.
Great tip! Those liners were a must to come off. I learned my lesson on those real quick!😂
Great video, man!!
@@thebronzetoo thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!
Just did this job. Gotta remove inner fender covers. Much less aggravating
100% I learned the hard way, as I usually do!🤣
Is there any chance you know the torque spec for the upper and lower shock bolts? Thanks in advance.

are these any good way cheaper than GM how long the last

I imagine it's the same on the 2016 escalade then?
Yes sir! My understanding is the 2015-2020 Tahoe’s, Yukon’s and Escalade’s are the same. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
