Some things I learned from the car salesman today:
The Hummer H2 has the same 6.0 as the Caddy's. (we know the difference between lq4 and lq9) He actually argues this one.
An air filter / intake swap can increase the mileage by 2 or 3 mpg. The new intake system costs about 112 bucks and is called the 'tornado or twister or something like that'.
New wheels, billet grille, cat-back, and this $112 intake runs up a 15k tab when added on a Caddy Escalade.
SkyJacker is the only company that makes lifts for GM vehicles.
EDIT: A Caddy Escalade tuner takes the HP from 345 stock to 425. It makes it a real fast truck by 're-calibrating' all the computers in the truck.
I'll think of something else in a minute I learned I'm sure.

Actually ... with the exception of the engine 'confusion' he had, he knew them very well. I was actually impressed with that being aside, but that really left a bad taste im my mouth. He said something about them having the same engine, the Vortech 6.0 and I corrected him and said they aren't the same 6. He said oh yeah they are.
OHHHHHH!! I forgot one. I'll add it to the top.

Sorry about the link you have to just plug in the values of the search again on the left of the page then you can see the invoices.

No .. although the H2 is on a 3/4 ton frame and has the 80e.
I verified this in the literature the guy handed me. The H2 engine has 9.4:1 compression, that's not the lq9.
