Al, our 2011 traverse 3.6 has 209,500 on the original timing chains, we do full synthetic every 5-6k and we do not follow oil life remaining on dash, we do it before it comes up also the pcv breather is a common issue if it plugs they burn oil via intake/throttle body and so the biggest issue is checking and adding oil which a lot of people don’t do between filling up on fuel now mix not checking oil with going the 8-12k the dash may go by = low dirty oil and bye bye chains. I had a 2011 malibu 2.4 ecotec the 4 cyl notorious chain engine with 225k on the original timing set too but i messed up and used a synthetic blend went by the dash didn’t check oil but once a month and developed a chain rattle - that one i didn’t know.., it was my first car. I learned from it - it sadly got tboned still ran+drove when i sold it, but i keep a quart of 5w30 full synthetic in the traverse at all times
@@bigalsbikeandauto Dad goes 10k in his vehicles.. the traverse was once his and the 5 star mechanic he had who now retired ripped him a new one about the engines and notorious issues saying if he neglects it it wont last so they were just gonna trade it in.. We begged them not to and now we drive it but we do repairs and maintenance i just did all rotors pads and 2 front calipers. Transmission has shuddered since i first rode in it at 138k and is starting to slip when you go easy on it but is fine when you take off just a little faster. it still shifts thankfully no chain noises yet, But if the engine continues to run i may consider looking for a transmission, we drive it all over new england, new york, mass, connecticut, rhode island.. i don’t think the torque converter recall ever got done! They’re the second owners, transmission fluid is good been changed a few times. Just gonna let that transmission turn the wheels until it stops!
GM remote start is lock it twice(two beeps), then just hold the remote start until the car starts. That's how I've done it on my GM vehicles and it works everytime unless the check engine light is on, then it won't work. My GMs will remote start with the hood open too.
Like I always say, it’s always refreshing when you upload a video, Al. The first generation SRX’s were the best ones. I do not care much for the second generations. Clean Ride!
I had a 2007 Saturn Aura XR 3.6 V6 with 6 speed automatic trans. Put approximately 150,000 miles on it. All original. I liked it so much I purchased a 2014 Chevy Impala Limited and told the dealer if it wasn't the 3.6 I was not buying it put 135,000 miles on that all original. After I trade that approximately a year later I keep hearing all the 3.6 horror stories. LOL I never had an issue preventive maintenance is key I did full synthetic oil changes at 3500 miles. I had a 2017 Chevy Equinox 2.4 did the same for that when I traded it did not burn or leak oil and never did. For me it was a great CUV.
I bought an R56 Mini S manual from IAA Tampa from this storm. It’s a nice little car, have to replace a fuse box to get it running but it’s turning over fine.
I like watching your adventures with Flood Cars, as they aren't allowed to be registered here in BC. Here they are only allowed to be scrapped for parts. You've had great success with most of them that you put up on TH-cam. Thanks.
G'afternoon Al 😇 . I think that's one of your nicest scores yet, that's awesome 🙃 . I recently scored a really nice excellent condition 02' GMC Envoy w/ 125k on the clock for $800 . 2 weeks later we drove across the country towing a trailer to move to Florida w/o issue 🙃 ..
Nice to see you back. I was hoping for some more rebuild videos on that drop top DTS, but this episode was good , too. Hoping you will post more often.
You need one of those reverse pressure washers that have two wheels and spin like a concrete pressure washer but shoot water up. So you can roll it back and forth and clean the unndercarraige like a automatic car wash
Great find. I was wondering if you were going to pick one up. The question is though.. Would you buy a flood/mud car like the ones that are in the NC/SC Coparts? IE the ones from Hurricane Helene.
Wow...watched/ran across the other one @ taking the SRX apart first. What a steal/deal and you lucked out on this one I'd say. I prefer the 3.6 actually. And this is a "4" all wheel drive. Interesting to find out about the 3rd row glass roof! Thank you for that, didn't know! But I would change all fluids (engine/trans/filters) asap and treat the underside, wheels and brakes/calipers/rotors if needed. So does this end up with a Salvage title?
So this is a part of the reason why auto insurance is totally jacked in Florida. They're just striking checks at will! 🤦🏾♂️😩 On the bright side, an EXCELLENT find! She is gorgeous! I'll trade you my white FX45 if you gotta have that V8. Lol.
This is going to be museum quality spec when you’re done with it. You never see there in Grade A condition anymore. Congratulations and look forward to seeing more on it 😎
Entirely way too much bs yapping. You easily get off track. Beautiful Cadillac. You stole that. It's looks brand new. Please curb your constant repeating over and over

Beautiful
Babe wake up, Big Al just posted
If I said that to my girlfriend she would be like who? 😂😂
@@JamzieUK she’s my biggest fan
Man, I was hoping these hurricanes would bring you out of retirement. So glad to see you my friend
He’s back !! Don’t go away again! Please!
Just when we needed him, the Malibu master returns! Great find on the SRX Al, should clean up nice once you've had the carpet out etc..
Been a while, Glad you stayed dry throughout all the flooding...;D Good to see you're back, Shouts from the UK.
You absolutely scored bro ! I’m glad out of everyone you got this ! And this trim is so much more reliable then the north star variant!
@@SammyKurts-ku2ht idk if I would agree with the more reliable than a N* comment but thank you!
I could never get this lucky. Gotta see more of this beauty.
Very good to see you back Al. 👍

Welcome back Al. You did very well with this one
I commented on the Buick video, before I saw you had posted this. Again.. so glad you're back!
I actually like the Northstar, other than oil leaks it's a solid engine, the smoothness is what sells it, I'd definitely like a Northstar SRX one day
Man you got an absolute steal! That truck looks nearly perfect

@@thagerdorn2009 the hood was the issue here
Wow Al, you always manage to impress with these finds somehow.. Insane deal and insane price! I love that car!
Glad your ok. Saw a Trofeo out in the wild the other day and through about you.
Good to see you back Big Al. Score on the Caddy!

@@cld2930 I’m glad to hear that! I think by 2014 they sorted out the timing chain issues on the 3.6. Glad the Saturn held up for you.
Muy bien Grande Al! You stole another one. Thank you for the video sir.
thank god mate i was worried you had quit youtube much love my man its great to see you back
I bought an R56 Mini S manual from IAA Tampa from this storm. It’s a nice little car, have to replace a fuse box to get it running but it’s turning over fine.
Nice caddy. Great buy wished we would have had copart back in my day
These wheels are really beautiful!!

@@lorieandpatrickdavies7483 I will definitely finish it someday!
LOVE TO SEE IT!

That ocean blvd is in Siesta Key, the wife and I have been on holiday there many times.
Killer deal brotherman. Subscribed.

Nice new pick up Big AL looks good man
I was excited when the hurricanes hit Florida because I knew you’d have new flood content 😂
Welcome back Al from Vermont
Driven hard and put away wet. No pun intended 😂
Really missed an Al video! Been too long dude. Always cheers me up watching one of your vjdeos.
Great find. I was wondering if you were going to pick one up. The question is though.. Would you buy a flood/mud car like the ones that are in the NC/SC Coparts? IE the ones from Hurricane Helene.
@@smkynbandt1 I’d buy a Carolina car but the shipping cost makes it not worth it unless it’s something rare or really cheap.
Wow, you really know how to pick 'em. This is buying flood cars done right.
Finally!!! Super glad you are back!!
Just finished working on my $250 salvage Volvo for the day just in time for Big Al's latest find
Big Al nice score IMO. Glade to see a new vid 🎬 & that your ok 💯 🚘🔥🫡👍.
Look who is still alive
I love these old GM navigation systems. I wish there was some way to put the 24 data on an old Nabis dvd
Nice win

Rebuilt title
Had one in black with beautiful chrome rims. Sold it and probably not a minute too soon as the engine started making unfamiliar sounds.

New video! Let’s go!!! Did the Astra survive Milton?
@@Alexscott100 my area was unaffected by Milton
Good Job Al 👍 Nice to See you It's Been awhile.
Welcome
Back!
The auto start may have a safety feature if the hood or doors are open it may not auto start
Been a minute
Lucky guy!
Big Al, youre back!...Ben in North Port
Nice 😊
Dang Big Al, I've seen POW's come back sooner than your video uploads 😉🤣😎....glad you came back 👍😎
$1550 before fees! Well done
@@stevethorne4978 $1150!
Nice outro Al
Pretty sure it won't remote start because the hood is open
Big Al's BACK BAYBEE LETS GO
Nice CAR.
Nice car.
Big Al videos seem to be connected to Florida hurricanes.
well done "the hat trick"!
you hit the lock twice then the start button once
HES BACK
Just got a 2005 srx v8 104k same exact spec besides sport package
I was just curious how hard did you get hit with both hurricanes
@@chrismoody6920 in my area we were unaffected
New video! 🤘😎🤘
Big Al back from the dead
there are two different types of navigation for Cadillac DeVille 01 to 2002 and 2003 to 2005
Fees are crazy almost as much as the car
When the hurricanes happened, I thought to myself, how many cars is Al going to rescue?
@@transitjoe6560 hauled another two home this weekend. Hope you’ve been well Joe.
I like this $1800 Cadillac SRX u purchase Big Al @ Copart alot better than bad flooded Allante & ugly Buick Rendezvous from few months ago.
@@malikdigger4544 don’t call my Rendezvous ugly!
@bigalsbikeandauto ; I know GM built the body my bad chassis always good those SUVs tho .
Been a minute ! 😂
The car is probably still programmed to the garage door at their place. Go see what other goodies they have for it 😅
Autostart wont work with the hood up
Forgot to close that hood Al lol
remote start wont work with hood open
the hood and door need to be closed to have the auto start to work
Remote start don’t work if the hood is open…
Daddy’s home
Remote start wont work with the hood open.
Won’t remote start with the hood open
Fastest 😅

It's been 84 years ...😂😂 I think you have insider 😂😂.How can you get so many steals. You should be locked.

what a STEAL man.. i need an SRX in my life
