Cadillac Escalade Lifter Fix ( Partial Engine Rebuild) Follow Along With Me!  

I had no reservations about doing this work myself to save a few thousand bucks in labor but being able to watch you run through it all first is pretty awesome. Thank you, two thumbs up!!!

Even though these two videos are NOT tutorials, I learned a lot! Thank's man! You're awesome!

I love to see black men that knows how to do this type of work stay up my brother ❤

Thank you I’m battling this same thing in an Escalade right now. This was so helpful.

Great work brother.. i loves cadillac escalade and i want to learn how to works on them.. got a 2012 and my lifter has collapsed. So watching your videos helping me a lot

Great video. I’m getting more confident I’ll be able to work on my engine eventually.

I haven’t any idea about engine. Since I saw the whole video have confident I can build up the engine. Thank you brother all your efforts. ❤

Thanks Alex for this video I have 2016 cadillac escalade esv 6.2l I will fix it my self Good keep blessing you 🙏

I really like that you don’t use power tools for reassembly. I prefer to assemble with hand tools as well. 👍

Thanks for that GM issue. I will be looking into that. I have a 07 escalade ext truck with the 6.2

I really like watching your videos and good work. I will make a slight criticism and it's only to make you aware of something. So I had the same issue with my escalade last month except my lifter didn't fall apart but seized up. Anyways it's very important when re-using the oil pump that you install guides before removal. That way it perfectly lines up when re-installing. If your using a brand new one it doesn't matter. The manual is very specific on this and your oil pump can fail if you are off. There are a lot of videos on this and like I said it's important to have that right. Might not fail this week or next but will likely fail and the. Your pulling engine again and worst case replacing engine.

I have a 2017 Sierra [6.2L] at the dealership as we speak with this same problem. I searched for videos on YT to see what the fix is for this [lifter] problem. Well, Alex you sure know your stuff with engines. Wish I had brought mine to you to fix. I watched the entire video, really enjoyed it. Way to go brother.

Great video! You are very meticulous in your work. If you were to build one of these engines for ultimate durability and to solve known defects from production, what would you do and can you list out the parts? Keep up the great work!

Well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Excellent work.

I really like your work

Awesome video, really is helping me out!.. But 1 thing I dont understand is the commennt when it says "After torquing the rockers, you must rotate the engine" can you plz explain what that means

Thanks for all you do. I got a 2011 escalade making the same sound as the one in ur video. If u not busy when can i bring it by ur shop. I live close by.

Awesome!

I kind of want to do mines too I want to just refresh everything I have a 2007 caddilac escalade 6.2 liter I just got it like a month ago and I been throwing money at it so far bought it for the family just added a new head to the family so we needed something big but yeah I want to rebuild it so it can last for a while but good work

I've got a 17 caddy with same problem. Number 7 cylinder lifter came apart.trying to find someone to clean up the lifter bore. Thanks on the info on the law suit. Really good video an detailed.u got a new subscriber .

I am having this lifter issue at this very moment not to mention other issues 🤦‍♂️Thank you for your videos you’re doing a great job. Thank you and @CorvetteZ069 for the information about the lawsuit. I hope it get resolves soon because I can’t afford to get it repaired at this moment and I’m no longer under warranty with the car still under 100k miles.

Hello I'm going thru this same problem 16 Escalade platinum started ticking really bad went the dealer where are you located?

Nice work

The Dr in his element! 😊

I’ve been waiting for a new upload! I need to replace my serpentine belt here soon. What brand belt would you recommend ? Thanks again! Keep the videos coming !!

👍👌👏 . Nice video 👍

Great video by the way, learned a lot from it.

Good work

Thank you for the video ❤

How much should this job cost , I have cylinder misfire on # 1 lifters tapping

Where should I get the lifter kit from??

Great job 👍

Oh and I'm mad at you for not having this video last month lol. I'm the one over here doing all this with the engine still in the vehicle. Omg is it a pain to do all this inside vehicle. Especially without fully pulling exhaust. Never again will I do this inside.

Thank so much

This is not in topic Alex, But what’s the best way to align my camshaft sprockets on my 2008 3.5 Dodge Charger , I can’t seem to get everything to sit tightly while I tighten the tensioner

I have a 2015 escalade with 96000. First shop quoted me and it started at 2400 to fix than went all the way at to 3600 and I ask them to explain these prices and they couldn’t give me one, but I have it at another shop for 2700. Been sitting in my driveway for 7 months with cylinder 4 being collapse.

How much do you charge to change lifters on a 2015 Cadillac Escalade all of them

🔥🔥💪🏾👨🏾‍🔧

Where are you located? And how much do you charge for this?

please let me know where u locate it i need work done on my cadillac i have a 07 escalade it needs a new piston and more done to it

I have 2015 Escalade premium with 84k miles with the same problem currently. Sad to say it’s the worst vehicle I’ve owned, from the lifters to torque converter failure and magnetic ride control failure.

I have a question about replacing a 09 Escalade hybrid engine. Can I use my old hybrid system?

Hello please i have 2017 cadilac esclade when i did job but pushrod 1 bandit When I finish, everything is exactly the same when I bought 50 miles an hour I pushing the situation. The car shakes the crazy please. How can I fix it or what’s the problem?

Not sure if you already did this but didn't film it. Cam shaft cover gasket, oil pump gasket, timing cover main seal.

Good luck finding parts

Question if I have a problem with a lifter can I still drive my truck n what happened if I don’t fix the problem

My 2016 escalade esv is giving me a P0300 code, any advise please.

Hello, how are you, friend, I have the same situation, but when the car starts, nothing is heard, only if I accelerate it while parked, when I release the pedal, the revolution goes down, it starts to sound and turns on, I checked the engine, and when I ran about 2 miles again it doesn't sound anymore unless you go full throttle

did you ever think you are allergic to cats? great work

I have a problem with a 12 cadillac escalade...giving me code 300 and 305. Now its doing just 300. Now i just have a 306

In the middle of a build in the vehicle now 2016 Cadillac escalade.

unbelievable your installing the DOD stuff

Did you delete the afm crap off of this when rebuilding?

💪💪

Where can I get the tourqe spec sheets for this job

Do you need to resurface the head or just clean it for reinstallation?

Hi do 2016 Cadillac Escalade have a EGR if yes where is the location Thanks

Nice work but why you did not delete DOD/ AFM system because whole system is doomed. How much would someone expect to pay for same job? Thanks

2007 Cadillac Escalade 6.2 liter it’s AFM or DOD

How much would it cost to do a job like this for a 2003 Chevy Suburban? And what new parts do you suggest we prepurchase from the dealership?

Are you supposed to prime the oil pump with vaseline or something? I have done it several times with vaseline never have any issues so far.

How is crank

If engineers designed engine for 0w20 how come it only lasts around 100k miles? Older escalade on 5w30 last longer

I just purchased this 2016 escalade, and that's what happened to me, and i drove it less than 400 miles before it happened.60.000 miles on the escalade, under warranty less than 30 days left. Should i just return it for my money back guarantee 💯

Are the torque specs you shared the same on a 2012 escalade?

I have an engine problem how can I get in contact with you 11 escalade

hey alex, caddy dealer tech here for 20 plus years . what was the total out the door for this guy if you dont mind me asking. im in south florida and wondering price differences. thanks

Can u do mine motor 2017

Hi Alex, this is Carlos. I have the same problem with my Escalade and it is a 2016 as well. I would like to contact you to see if you can fix it for me.

Once fixed does the problem return?

Alex what City you are

How do I contact you? I would like for you to fix my motor as well. 2017 Cadillac Escalade cylinder one misfire in ticking. Please give me your information I would love to do business with you I’m from Milwaukee Wisconsin.

You can’t change the oil in these enough. vlom gets clogged and starves lifters of oil.

Is it worth keeping it after rebuilding it.

That's like a 5k job or depends 3,500 or 5 k

Can u do mine motor

How much money this cost to customer again $$$$

Regardless of what some woke feminist will say today nothing rings more true than the saying "behind every great man is an even greater woman".

Hello I have a Cadillac Escalade 2015 premium, and it’s having same issue can you please reach out to me, you help and fixed another subscriber would really like if you could help me with this.

plan on visiting ohio anytime soon? lol. you could make a killing just because you post videos of the repair. i have a 2016 ss with the same issue collapsed dod lifter, cyl 6 and they wanna charge a bro 6k to repair at chevy, actin like they aint sellin fucked up cars. i bought this thing is may 2021 and in march the damn ticking sound started. had i known about any of this i woulda just did a dod delete kit myself at the time of purchase when i had all that extra money. GM / chevy and anyone selling these cars are straight up crooks. they have done everything under the sun to try to blame me trying to act like i lapsed on oil changed when i didnt. buncha shady ppl in the auto business. good to see there are a few good ppl left. GL GB. i hope y'all make all the $ fuck these shady dealership shops.
