Are there any LED fog lights with a reasonable pattern and high light output at a reasonable price?

No. It's similar to the "are there legal HID retrofits" question.

Around my area, if you can find ethanol-free gasoline, it's usually 87 octane.

Reading this and the "Descaladed" thread has me thinking about buying one. Any advice to someone (not auto inclined) who is looking to purchase an Escalade? My budget would likely be around $15k, and I'm in Colorado. Any particular engines/generations/years to look for or stay away from?

Get a Yukon. 2007+ gets the new body style. An Escalade is a $5000 premium for the same vehicle. I'm saying this as a 2009 Escalade owner. You'll lose a few horsepower but they're identical otherwise.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't considered the Yukon but I'll give them a look. I realize this is a vague question but should I be scared off by high-mileages on these vehicles? Are the 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L pretty solid engines?

The 5.3's with displacement on demand are all garbage. It's not a matter of if, but when, the lifters gently caress up. The 6.0 and 6.2 engines are fine. By the time they got DoD (2011+ iirc), they'd figured it out.

The stock exhaust on my 6.2 Escalade is perfect. It's surprisingly deep and beefy and doesn't drone, even while pulling a 29-foot camper trailer at 2000-3000 rpm. It's a 3.5" system with a single exit and I'm not sure how well it would fit on a pre-2007 but I would choose it over anything I've heard so far.

Maybe I'm getting old.
