Default New member. Recently purchased a supercharged Cadillac Escalade EXT.



Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Aaron, I live in the Pacific Northwest. The wife and I needed a truck. I was looking at the Chevy Avalanche, but realized they were the same price as the Cadillac. So I figured I might as well do it with some style, and this one was already supercharged.
Purchased a 2008 Escalade EXT with 68,000 miles. I believe it has a TVS1900 (haven’t positively identified it yet) supercharger installed by Lingenfelter or the kit was bought from them. It has Lingenfelter badges and the timing controller buried under the center console has their name on it. Currently fixing all of the little problems that appear from buying a used vehicle. For instance the power folding mirrors (Gruven gears installed/done), center console side trim needs glue or new clips? Rear seat radio has a cracked screen (bought a used one off eBay) still need to install it. Drivers power step works sometimes (still researching). Need to change all the fluids. Once I get it to the condition it should be in, I’ll start looking at upgrades. Overall very happy with this truck.

Yes! That’s the only thing I don’t like about this truck. Here is a pic of the supercharger. Need to clean the engine bay up, noticing a lot of corrosion. I’ll be taking care of all that as time and money allow.

I’ve also noticed my belt is routed differently than almost every one I’ve seen (mostly pictures).

I’d get the tuned looked at. I’m confident that it’s conservative.
