I have a 2007 Escalade. Safe to say they hold up to 150k before needing serious work. Currently at 176,000. I bought it when it had 15,000. Things it’s need (literally happened all around the same time of each other and I’m very good about keep maintenance I do all work myself because I know how and I have a car lift) 1. Oil pump (changed oil pickup tube at the same time & front differential mounts since I was there and they had some play) 2. Replaced valve cover gaskets & rear main seal. 3. Sway bar bushings & sway bar end links. 4. Rack and pinion assembly. 5. Transmission Control Module. 6. Heated&Cooled seat module (ask me how to fix it for good and I’ll tell you how) 7. Rear air shocks ( I went ahead and replaced all rear suspension components since it’s super easy and not as expensive if you shop around makes it ride like new again I also installed some tembren bump stops instead of the cheap OEM ones) 8. Front suspension pieces (these I highly recommend you go with AC Delco parts it’s the only way you can keep that Cadillac ride for the next 15 years) 9. Headlight assembly. (450 bucks a piece I wanted to cry. They started to leak. And the bulbs are 170 bucks for the OEM osram bulbs and 300 a piece for the OEM ballas) 10. Rear passenger door lock actuator. (My rear door was unlocking sometimes) 11. Lift gate shocks, lift gate door lock motor, lift gate motor, rear glass release switch, rear lift gate drop down switch and rear lift gate pressure pad (the one on the handle). 11. Well these thing I’m going to list are just upgrades short tube headers, afm cold air intake, 15-20 escalade style taillights, LEDs all through your the truck, took off the stupid fake 3rd break light and installed the tail fin from the Tahoes (looks way better) took out the useless factory radio and installed a true plug and play 13.6 Tesla style radio from Aucarauto.
For anyone with a 2007-2014 Escalade the passenger side rear spark plug and wires can be difficult. Pull the passenger front wheel and inner fender liner and it becomes a lot easier
These trucks are so easy to work on. I'm no mechanic but I DIY a lot and TH-cam has taught and made me so confident(1A auto included) and now I do my own preventative maintenance on my 2011 yukon. I love this truck
Thanks for posting this organized, articulate, and comprehensive guide for Escalade owners! I'm finally retiring my 1999 Escalade after almost 300K miles! I'm purchasing a 2010 Escalade in great condition as it's replacement! Thanks again!
Been watching a lot of your videos and they are very helpful. We are about to purchase a 2011 Escalade ESV with only ninety-six thousand miles on the odometer. This maintenance video is giving me a lot of peace of mind. Yes, I have read some of the issues that these vehicles have, but I'm trying not to let it deter us from a purchase. You gained a new subscriber, as well.
That's a good choice! I have a 2013 Escalade that already had the 100K service on it. All I did was put on some good rotors and brakes, and I did the oil change along with a new air filter. It drives great
Alright, alright, alright. Party at the Moon Tower! Everyone's gonna be there. Y'all should should go! Personally, I can listen to this fella break it down like nobody's business. Very uplifting and resolute demeanor...Fantastic presentation champ! Trust him alone with my car/keys 100%. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've had good results with Permatex #2 dark brown paste with a new gasket. Be sure to clean all parts including the bolts and bolt holes. Clean out the metal powder below the ring gear. If you don't, the new oil will stir it up and cause wear. Avoid using silicone instead of a gasket. Be professional and reap the benefits.
Hi good evening guys happy Monday! I’m having a bad day 😭 I had a misfire and my mechanic pulled spark plug # 5. And there is oil on the plug! I was told I may need a new motor. I have 123.000 miles! And I don’t know what to do please help me.
Hello I have a 2011 Cadillac Escalade Luxury and I have a question. When I turn on the AC & I put it on 60, smoke comes out the vents. If I put it on 64 it's fine. What could be the issue?

@@tommiespivey7717 Check for a crank or cam shaft position sensor to have bit the bullet when that came apart. if either of those or the wires got hit it will turn all day and never fire.

Probably my favorite color on that Escalade. Hope to buy one. Great video for potential buyers 👍

I have a 2007 Cadillac Escalade Esv, and this was a really good video, I have to do my 100,000 mile maintenance thanks

You are a excellent mechanic, i wish you lived in Pasadena, California! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this not everyone knows your suppose to change more things then just your oil and coolant
Great video! bad ass truck!!! Probably the best videos I have found on maintenance , well explained!!! Thank you!
I'm thinking about buying a 2011? Should I yes or no? Why or why not?
You're the best Dude!
Yessuhhh! He is. I second that!👍🏾👌🏾
Dang, I just watched this video and now I feel I need to get mine to a shop ASAP for all this. Mine’s sitting at 103k 😬
I have a 2010 Escalade and I love it but it has 92K miles on it. I was wondering about a/c service. I live in Florida and it gets hot here 😊.
Great video, thank you. for the spark plugs, do you recommend replacing coils as well as the wires?
What about the fuel filter? Where is that located? And how is it replaced?
Hello can you tell me on Cadillac escalade EXT pickup 2008 change distribucion chain?
Thank you 😊
This is very similar to my 2007 Chevy Tahoe
Great video!
Can you please do a video on a 100k mile service for yukons I have a 2013 denali.
Good info thanks for sharing
What does the 880 represent on the rear differential? Mine is 787. Is that the backlash in the planetary?
Are there any diy components such as 02 sensor or catch cans that could potentially damage the engine operations?
I love my 2009 ESV. Super truck
When you change the rear diff fluid, do you use a gasket and a gasket maker sealant on the cover?
I've had good results with Permatex #2 dark brown paste with a new gasket. Be sure to clean all parts including the bolts and bolt holes. Clean out the metal powder below the ring gear. If you don't, the new oil will stir it up and cause wear. Avoid using silicone instead of a gasket. Be professional and reap the benefits.
Curious whats the 100k servic fee middle price range?
How about Servicing a 2008 Cadillac SRX, 4 wheel drive, 3.6, thanks
Fuel filter ?
Superb…Thank you, good sir!
I would have change all the 8 coil,s while U install the new sparkpluggs 🤪👍
Do you think these vehicles can go over 300,000 miles????
One does that everyday.
When should u do a transmission flush

Hello I have a 2011 Cadillac Escalade Luxury and I have a question. When I turn on the AC & I put it on 60, smoke comes out the vents. If I put it on 64 it's fine. What could be the issue?
One of the first!!!
I drive all my cars with bald tires and havent had a failure yet
I know its very similar but how about one with the 5.3 of the same era
Thank you

I have a 03 Cadillac CTS and I'm having trouble finding the motor mounts, even the engine rubber mount, my car is vibrating when it's in park.
