Hey Good People!
I got another Cadillac Escalade in the shop. Same issue as the last one I had a few weeks back. See video here : • Low Mileage Cadillac E...
This is a common issue on these engines. In the video im doing a partial tear down to finish sripping the engine down to the block to show you the damage the broken lifter caused, and so the customer can get the block off to a machine shop.
This video was fun to make, and I hope you enjoy watching.

Bro, I just put a new engine in mine. It's the AFMs which are a grenade in your truck. Over time it destroys the cylinders. After I put a new engine in mine, I installed a disabler which stops the computer from shutting off the cylinders so it will always be on 8 cylinders. Now my truck will last 350k plus miles. Shame on GM for doing this to people because these trucks are expensive

My question is, what needs to be done to separate the engine from the transmission, do you lift the motor directly up and at the same time lift the transmission or do you remove the transmission first then the engine.

Hi Alex.Question! I have 2018 Escalade ESV. Just today, rod bearing went bad. Mechanic recommending an engine replacement without opening the engine and said that by hearing the engine knocking noise. Do i really need an engine replacement or replacing the bearing would solve the issue? Need your opinion. Thanks

@AlexTheCarDoctor Год назад

Hey there sorry to hear you’re having issues. I don’t believe what other mechanics say I will have to hear it for myself, is it possible you can Instagram me a video of it running. Throwing connecting rod bearings at it won’t solve the problem if the crank is scored up most times it is and you will have to send the crankshaft off to a machine shop to get it reworked and hope the mechanic can install everything back right, at that point I think it’s easier to put a engine in it that’s more guaranteed

Very similar to the noise on your 2015 diagnostic vid. Limited use since. I’m no Mecanic but can do simple work. Took it to a Mecanic and is recommending to change all lifters and rods. Is taking out the entire engine required to replace a lifter?

@AlexTheCarDoctor Год назад

If you like the truck, fix it. It’s expensive and there isn’t a guarantee that if fix it that it won’t happen again down the road. I heard that if you upgrade the lifters to a brand called Johnson lifters, you won’t have the problem anymore. But those are super expensive and when I give my customers the option, they choose to go with the “Melling” brand that I use. It’s just a pain in the butt really 😞

Hello Alex, I have 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I purchased it in Feb and I should have bought the extended warranty. But, It was $6700. The dealer says I need a new engine. I guess a lifter spring broke and fell into the piston, damaging the block. They want $9300 for a re manufactured engine. 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. Any recommendations. Can the block be repaired, or should I go ahead with the repair. The mileage is 83,000 miles. Any advice, as I trust you more. I'm in Northern California. Its kind of hard. Because, If I pick it up from them I still have to pay them $1700. So they got me. Thanks, GReg

If I do repair and trader it in. Which year Escalade would you purchase? I don't really like the navigator. I have a G63, but its not roomy. Its the truck my wife drives to go to Costo. I also don't like the Yukon or Expedition.

Hey there buddy sorry to hear that, that is a lot of money, if you spend that much you will need to hold onto it to get your moneys worth.that’s a hard one to call,if it was me I will cut my losses and trade it in/sell it because who to say you won’t have another issue out of the reman motor after the warranty is up. you can get a 5.3 out of a Yukon similar year used for about 3500 and put that in just so it will be running to get rid of it,you will get more money out of a running vehicle versus a non-running vehicle. The Escalade of my choice is the 3 L Duramax diesel that’s found in the newer Escalade, i’ve heard they haven’t fix the issue yet even with the new 2023

Please reply to my question, my wife and I are looking to purchase a Escalade between the year of 2015 to 2020; we tested one the other day and the air bag light was on while driving and didn’t go off even with the seat belt on while I was driving and she was in the passenger seat I don’t think this is normal for the light to stay on saying seat on, please let me know

@AlexTheCarDoctor 3 месяца назад

Hey there it’s not normal for the airbag light to be on when the vehicle is running, that indicates an error in the system, and potentially the airbag will not go off if an accident occurs

@jackieburch6875 3 месяца назад

@@AlexTheCarDoctor hey I appreciate your response back and I told her I think that this could be costly to repair and that is why I was hesitant to buy it. It was a 2019 Escalade with 123,000 miles, I also felt that was too many miles. Hey Alex, I subscribed to your channel and enjoy that you and your wife are doing well as well as your video you posted 5 years ago that I watched today for the very first time. May the Lord God, bless you and your family real good.
