@@Butfucker300why would you want to downgrade💀 but yes however you’d have to front end swap because it has different headlights and etc but imo it’s pointless for YOU to do because you have an actual Escalade and the body lines may not fit, which could make your dream look like a nightmare if you wanna spice up your caddy front end I suggest a mesh grille and the new badges
Hey Matt I did the third brake light conversion also, it’s a plug and play if you pulled the original wire more back it disconnects and the Escalade light clips in like OEM.
The white Tahoe connector is a Metripack 150 2-pin connector. GM uses them on a TON of things on 90s+ trucks. Easiest place to grab a matching pair at a junkyard is under a pickup's bed for the rear lighting. Be aware that one style has corner notches and one doesn't. Extracting the terminals is pretty easy with a VW style tool after popping off the rear lock (blue) with a screwdriver. Easy peasy.
@@2Mont106 It depends on the year of your Tahoe or Yukon, if it’s a 2002 Tahoe per say then get the light off a 2002 Escalade. If it’s a 2003 Tahoe get it off a 2003 Escalade
Matt, it was great to meet you last week. Can't wait to see the Escalade parts installed and painted. I will keep you updated on the custom Escalade LED brake light. Keep the Tahoe videos coming.
Recently bought a Yukon. Looking to get it back in great working shape. A lot of what you do is so useful for a guy starting out. Thanks for making all the content that you do for us.
the third brake light you spliced if you pull the wire out a little more you would have found the same plug that was on the end of the Escalade hatch. Sometimes it is clipped in place inside of the hole.
My windows up and down was doing the same. I used some lithium grease on the glides. Inside the door. Been 5 months. And works great. Up and down super fast and smooth. Saves alot of time and money.
I have a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with the same Led tail lights that you have and 2016 wheels and I have always wanted to put the Cadillac Escalade rear tail lights just like you did on mine and now I going to make it a priority. Thanks for the video. You are awesome
Hey Matt love the channel i’m building a Tahoe myself everything you’ve done is help me so much I was wondering what year Escalade glass do I look for or does it even matter??
I came across your channel and i love your tahoe series im hooked! i just bought a 03 gmc yukon and u have givin me so many ideas! i hope u keep this build going! im still going thru the vids but i love it all so far ty!
When i first built my 04 Z71 Burban,i took some of you design cues,like the badges, the airbag, tail lights, and applied it to mine. Not long ago I did the Esky rear glass, appliques, dash,seat and center console swap, seeing you do the same upgrades now,makes it feel like they have come full circle.
Looking good, great idea on the Cadillac rear glass to get the huge 3rd brake, love those. Also, my wife's Tahoe is an 04 so all your hard work is really informative for me. Thanks!
I have a 03 Yukon Denali and i installed the escalade corner vents and they are very hard to remove and install but they look great. Another thing you could do is get the escalade painted spare tire lock cover flap or get the original painted. I did that on mine, i don’t like any unpainted black plastic.
Looks great and great idea i think ima have to steal this idea someday and do this upgrade to my 2002 tahoe. Great video and nice to see its well detailed
I did the rear panels(those tailgate “vents” to Escalade, and got ESV chrome roof rack rails for my Yukon xL. Also, I think the Escalade instrument cluster has a trans oil temp gauge
Love the dash/rear cam. Unfortunately too rich for my blood. Def need that today. The 03's door panel have that same screw holding the master window switch to the panel. I found that out the hard way. I can't wait to see the HD parts installed. Are you dropping the front bumper too? That's what you need to do to add that HD bumper cap. Keep the mods coming Matt!
I had the same problem with my window switch. I broke it trying to pop it. I did change my rear passenger side window motor actuator. It was a lit easier than expected.
I was just thinking about doing this today and then I find this video on my recommendations. It's like the phone is reading my mind. Looks good I like it I'm going to have to do it
Great vid as always Matt. I have an ‘04 Silverado and your episodes of repair/mods have helped me out tremendously. I’ve enjoyed Tahiti’s evolution. Looking forward to what you have planned next 👍
Very nice !! Good reference. My passenger side front window is a bit slow, especially in the colder weather. That new camera system looks good. I think I may need one of those for mine. Three hit/runs has me pissed off.
Awesome vid on the mods....just received 2 actuators with latch for my two front doors.....looking to swap out back window with Escalade....I'm assuming when searching I would need 2000-2006 Escalade glass and panels for my 2000 Tahoe.....definitely a fan of your channel!!
I have a 05 escalade and the led interior lights that I upgraded made all the difference. Makes it look so much more modern. Even added the leds to light up mirror puddle lights. You will be impressed with the difference
1:20 I had that issue on a 1994 Mercury Cougar, on both windows. The workaround: grease the mechanism and luber the window channels and rubbers with some silicone grease (the silicone spray will wash off quickly and the issue will come back). That should do the trick.
Hey Matt on your last video you talked about your wheel fitment. Recently I changed the wheels on my 05 escalade. I got 17 X8.5 6-139.70 -6 wheels. So I was able to use my tires and it spaced it out perfectly. The wheels sit perfectly flush with the body. I'm really happy with the result. If you want I can send you pictures so you can see the fitment.
love this chevys...I put an HD hood on mine and LTZ chevy wheels ...looks really nice ...I'm super happy....I swapped the engine my self ...so easy that I'm thinking about putting a 6.0 in the future..doing some research...
I have a Rexing V1 dash cam and have been eyeballing one of those Blackvue 750's and the fact that it comes with that little spuger, and hard wire kit, plus the video quality seemed like a fair price. My Rexing has a potato quality rear camera. Like Sony Ericsson just came out in 2002 quality. Lol. I dig that Escalade glass. I had never thought about doing that, but it makes a big difference. Keep up the good work brotha.
Hey Matt love the channel i’m building a Tahoe myself everything you’ve done is help me so much I was wondering what year Escalade glass do I look for her it doesn’t matter??
i install dash cams at work all the time... best thing for the rear cam is run the cable through the boot, and stick the cam to the glass... well give you the best view, and it will never fall off.... once the summer comes around, it will fall off the plastic trim.. i have the same truck, but with barn doors, there's no way to stick it on the glass, so i stuck it on the same trim panel... it lasted maybe a week, and it's still dangling today...
With 330,000 miles on my ‘04 Z 71 suburban I like the idea of the Escalade rear window. That said, the rear windows are an engineering disaster! I have replaced three or four windows over the years simply because the plastic and metal hinges come apart way too easily . I would also recommend that you do not use any type of “super strut” as all they will do is accelerate the separation to those plastic and metal hinges for the rear glass. In fact, I just disconnected them a just use the whole door for access to the back. 😎💪🇺🇸🗽❤️
That camera system turned out great! Fantastic picture/video quality. And the back cam, couldn't be in a better spot. You'll have to show some night time clips. That's usually a problem too with cheap camera's. Like mine, mines great during the day, but absolutely sucks at night even with it's "night vision infrared" light
Just out of curiosity that Tahoe third brake light that you said didn’t hold up couldn’t you have cut the connector off that then hooked it to the Escalade brake light. Like full on chop that off the Escalade connector off. 🤔
Did you put the escalade cladding on the lower trim? I was debating on doing same but I have a suburban. Not sure if the panels would fit. Just wanted to cover the main rust areas.
If you would have pulled the factory wiring out of the hole more then you could have plugged it right in. There’s another connection behind the rubber plug that matches.
Does your Tahoe have power adjustable side mirrors? Because I notice when you tested out the controls you only folded them in and out. I ask because on mine I have the exact same model year and color as you lol but mine only fold in and out and I can’t actually adjust them up down left or right so not sure if it’s just broken or what. Thank you
Have a atoto 6 radio with dash cam connection for my 2004 suburban and my 2006 i have a regular dash cam but brought extra adapter mini c to plug in side panel fuse to come on when truck come on. Because cigar plug always on an d kills battery
Matt had a quick question about my truck that maybe you could help out with. I have a 97 Ford Ranger and when I hit my brakes my marker lights turn on and all of my dash lights illuminate as if I’m turning the light switch to the marker position, and the same story goes for the left blinker. Though when I actually have the marker lights on through the switch everything is normal. Do you think this could be a short?? I know jack about wiring and I just don’t know where to start. Any help would be awesome Also love the vids and can’t wait for the next one!!
I have the same dash cam set up in my Audi and its been working great. I originally got the high Sandisk endurance 256gb microsd like the one in the video but had compatibility issues so i had to switch it out for a Sandisk ultra 256gb. For whatever reason when using the Sandisk high endurance, it would not allow viewing of the recorded videos in the Blackvue app. Curious if you have experienced the same issue

2003 - 2006 Cadillac Escalade

as a truck enthusiast never really been a fan of a tahoe but this man knows how to build a tahoe clean and that looks oem
as a recent new to me owner of a actual 2002 Escalade 6.0AWD V8 I feel somewhat honored to tahoes where the caddy tuxedo. LOL
That dash cam picture quality is incredible!! Thank you for the awesome content. Take care!!
the third brake light you spliced if you pull the wire out a little more you would have found the same plug that was on the end of the Escalade hatch. Sometimes it is clipped in place inside of the hole.
When he clipped the wires i was like "noooo"
2:10 my 07 Silverado does the same thing but mostly with the unlock. I have to use the key fob to unlock the passenger side door
My windows up and down was doing the same. I used some lithium grease on the glides. Inside the door. Been 5 months. And works great. Up and down super fast and smooth. Saves alot of time and money.
Definitely getting a dashcam for all my cars now... my Camaro and my Ram 1500
Nice. I’m about to price the rear glass for my 03 Yukon!!
Clicked so quick your Tahoe videos are dope AF
I swear the installing of the dash cam and the rear cam I think could’ve been a mechanics ASMR lol it was so soothing 😂
You will not regret the BlackVue purchase. I've been rocking their camera since 2017 and have been completely satisfied.

Could've swapped the GMT900 third brake light/spoiler onto it. Looks pretty nice and sporty after it's all done. Uses the escalade glass.

I absolutely love the caddy taillights conversion. Looks so clean.
I'd prefer to do the newer style long LED lights,but I don't think you can with the body panel dividing the lights and molding.
My type of build trying to make things look stock but better. I'm on the fence with the break light but I'm thinking I'll dig when you get it done.

Don't even own a Tahoe. I love how so many parts and problems follow across different similarly aged GM products (Saturn). Love the videos :)
