Stock trans still or at least shift kit , how about front axles , rear diff and axles , drive shaft , I’m so confused on this ,I love the power but don’t understand how you get it to the wheels. I work on Tahoe’s everyday and they can’t handle there 300hp motors without having problems I’m just scared for you. Hope it halls ass and Im completely wrong .Dont want to sound like an ass but I can’t tell you how many front diffs I’ve replaced on stock motors.

How many of those have you replaced on 2015 and up Escalades? From what i have been told by people that have more experience than i do, my tranny is a good one. If it breaks. Ill fix it. with better parts.

My Tahoe also broke the tranny and the rear end at 100,000 miles. It's a 2001.  I replaced them with better parts and they never broke again.  If this breaks. I guess i will fix it. Just like anything else with better parts.  One thing at a time. Can't do it all at once unless you wanna bust me off some blank checks LOL :D

I’ve replaced a lot of front diff’s , I just think with that much power u need solid axles , I could be completely wrong I’m not into horsepower but love seeing this build , I’m not a GM fan but still appreciate nice vehicles and the work it takes to get from start to finish.

People don't know shit about these k2 vehicles   14-18  gm truck suvs meaning ron36.   The rear axles are a 12b 9 5/8 ring gear.  Shit ain't gonna break.  As for the 8l90e trans you have.  The only thing you can really do to them right now is billet internals and a higher stall.  Which I wouldn't do until it breaks.   I'l give it to gm for these vehicles.  They did a great job making everything bigger unlike the older models.   

Drive it like you stole it till it breaks.  Then fix what breaks.  But until then. Enjoy it

Just watched a couple of your IG video's Steve, The Caddy looks sick lighting them up like that!

The end of trip didn't sound to good, that fucking sucks! Hope you're able to get the pro back man. It was at the airport so even a staff member there might have snagged it.

EXACTLY.  You said it better than i could.  Everyone is an expert but the people that actually know about MY vehicle have said the exact same thing almost to the T you just said.
