Popping it up should not be too hard to do.. Brining it back down however.... That is a mechanical challenge..Does anyone know if this is possible or has been done? It would be nice to have though...
He means the liftgate on the regular Escalade. Like the Navigator and the new body Escalade.
LOL, there you have it - you got me and I am guilty as charged lol. Anyway has anyone seen or done this mod?He means the liftgate on the regular Escalade. Like the Navigator and the new body Escalade.
Frankly, I'd be just fine with power automated open and manual close. It's opening the damn thing with your hands full that's annoying.
On my 04, after about 8 to 12 inches the shocks take over and lift the tailgate. What's the idea?how far does the liftgate have to open before the factory shocks take over and lift it?
i have an idea
Sounds promising.Hey I just thought of this - although it sounds kinda extreme but what if there was a way to replace both the stock shocks with air cylinders to open and close? You could run it off a small compressor I guess and use air valves to control them....
That would be great.Yeah that sounds pretty straight forward but I suspect there has to be some sort of "control module" for it to detect an overload or if something or someone is obstructing the liftgate, etc. ...
So do you have the actual electric tailgate mechanism? Maybe you could post some pics so someone could perhaps figure something out...
I am wondering if I should start looking for a used mechanism to play around with...hmmm....
What???!! I did not know that!!! :mad2::crying:I also have been wanting to do a mod like this.
I cant believe the dam SRX got these & we didnt.
Neither did I untill my wife told me that she test drove one & it had a power lift gate :banghead:What???!! I did not know that!!! :mad2::crying:
