    Nice Cadillac somebody took care of it before it got stolen and I think it will clean up nicely. Once you give it a detail and fix a few things Drain all the fluids at one point a time this Cadillac was $65,000. Please bring it back to life.

    • @carlbernard4197
      @carlbernard4197 Před 10 měsíci +8

      Drain and change all fluids, replace the tires and the instrument cluster. Also replace the sensors flagged by the scanner and that thing will probably go for another 5-10 years.😊

If you touch fentanyl, a spec lands on you or you breathe it in you can OD!! I will miss my AAR shows and more importantly your family and friends will miss you.

    Randy, IDK about GMs, but I know some Fords will not charge the battery unless the instrument cluster is attached. Maybe because the cluster isn't working, it might not be letting it charge. Might get lucky with the new used cluster. And have you tried a Carfax? Does OK show the services and miles at oil changes and such?

    @JB91710 Před 10 měsíci +3

    21:00 I think this might be AWD or 2WD rather than 4x4. The vertical rectangle where the 4x4 controls go is empty and I saw a Traction Control button to the right of the heater controls where on my Tahoe it is an empty hole. 20:25
    25:00 be careful leaving your window open in a heavy rainstorm. Moisture can get in there and corrode the fuses and the receptors. My Flashers failed and there was corrosion on the fuse at the lower right corner.
    25:20 The fuse for the cigarette lighter is a lower voltage than the auxiliary 12v receptacles so don't plug any high voltage items into the cigarette lighter receptacle.
    25:38 You are right. After you break the ice and start figuring out how the electrical system works, it is actually fun troubleshooting. When something goes wrong, you think it has to be some expensive part when it most times is just a fuse or sometimes unreliable relay.
    28:00 The ALB system and the wheel speed sensors might just need sensor cleaning not replacing. Now that the AC fuse is replaced, you probably can clear the codes.
    29:30 You can send your cluster out to be repaired and the mileage might become available. It would be worth doing for resale.
    After you fix a few things, you will make a killing on that Escalade. You are probably going to be beating people off with a stick. It is probably rust free! If you live in a rust-free area, you could fix up pre 2006 GM trucks and send them north and east for a great profit. My 02, 5.3 and drivetrain had 407k miles and ran beautifully.

    I think some of that foil was actually cigarette wrappers from when open them. I actually have them in my car from time to time.. but yea that needle was not Paraphernalia and the foil was questionable but not sure it's what u thought it was. And the letter looked like a letter from jail to his "boo" hahaha😂😂 I can't lie been down and out in my life and yea there was some sketchy stuff goin on there but maybe not as bad as it looks lol
