Yep abs bleed is a must for those. Replace driver caliper check pads and rotors im the rear. That should fix brakes. Not sure how far you want to go but looks like you need shocks, and all the front end parts. 😂 or at least tie rods and check ball joints. You could probably get away with not worrying about the sway bar bushings or links. Those really dont pose a safety issue. I can’t wait to see what you do or dont do 😂.
Mike...being a assistant manager from Monroe muffler and who's dad worked at General motors for 30 years. The master cylinder needs replacing...the brakes need to be bled in a special order...Check the abs module and you should be good to go...
Randy's joke you took it and bought the Escalade and he's just so happy you fell for the joke and bought the Escalade can't you see it in his face and his eyes !
Save that escalade Mike ❤️ Replace the other caliper (I think it's frozen), bleed the system, replace those shocks and fix the exhaust leak. It will ride and tow quite nice.
Randy always amusees me the cops are gonna get called for drunk drivers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and this one as well Mike : so this shouldn't be a tow vehicle is that what your saying Randy: nooo this needs a tow vehicle 😂🤣🤣🤣
cap off those loose wires under the hood on caddi....then bleed those brakes and give it another try.....but get it over at randys shop and get it up on the lift and inspect the under belly
Keep it up! You’ve been showing that car a lot lately idk if it’s the car for you…final last words…are the brakes fixed? Love having AAR there helping you Omg 😂😂
I think the escalade is quite nice , its mileage speaks for itself, i think when brand new it was fantastic, it depends what you want out of it, once brakes r sorted you can run it as is,or do much more like interior , ball joints etc belts etc, if its good for the channel id go with more work.
Buen Dia Guys, Watching in Mexico while eating Chilaquiles and Tamales! You guys are funnier than Gabriel Iglesias and Felipe Esparza! Keep up the good work!
You guys just bounce off each other. Mike, I recently found out that you were a news anchor. I got ro know of your channel through Randy. As a W204 owner, I enjoy the Merc content but I don't mind the non-Merc cars some of which we don't have over here in the UK. The Caddy deserves a chance to live. It is doing well for the mileage.
Change both disc's at same time time as they have different metal content hence friction, also brake pads are different with the same result, therefore braking effect different on each side
Umm, might want to check bleeding process. Every car I've done is the passenger rear first then drivers rear the passenger front and lastly drivers front. And normally don't have to do a ABS bleed if the master cylinder didn't go dry. I would just double check with your local Cadillac service center to be sure.
Hi Mike Randy confirming what I said was wrong with the front ended when you did a video on the caliper selling it and getting a ford 150 for a great tow vehicle this needs so much work everything on it can be fixed but how much do you want to spend on it great video Mike
Randy's when for the brake problem bleed all four of brake's but steering on 03 Escalade is little odd Randy had me dying laughing said " You Going Need A Toe Vehicle For This"
Mike check out those mice traps on that river site that are plastic with teeth and a little bate station. Called Instant mouse traps. Ive had good luck with the Gerossi brand. They work wonders. I had a bad problem from a housing development being put in behind us and i killed more in a year than i have in my entire life. Peanut butter first and if you get one thats smart enough to get that off the trap and not get caught switch your bate to Pay Day Candy Bar as bate. Caramel makes it stick. Works every time.
Great video Mike.Thank you. I'd turn the cat in and scrap the rest as someone said and start fresh. There is a lot of truth in the old saying about good money after bad.
Loving the caddy content Mike. Your channel is making leaps and bounds. Could t happen to a nicer person. It’s actually a nice lookin car the Escalade you bought and the mileage just adds more character to the car but also thins the wallet. What ever you decide to do with it you have already done the vehicle proud. She runs well for half a million miles. 👊 will say it again!!! You and Randy work so well together. You can see both of you just having fun doin what ya love. Great stuff
Considering some of randys progects the caddy is fine bleed the brakes and check the front end it will be fine new parts for brake would have been been better . They would have not been much $$
The stabilizer rod on the ride control that's not there is a big thing when the weight of the truck goes forward its suppose.to.pump.the front end up...the rod needs replaced.for sure.I wouldn't give up.on her yet
I don't think you should be soo down on it after all the body and the engine sounds sweet Sort the brakes and a set of shocks not forgetting the welding around the cat and you'll have a good truck. That's a respectable mileage and must have been cared for to get that far. What's the deal with American & Canadian Rats, mice and squirrels with cars and wires ? We have both animals in uk but nesting in cars is almost un heard of.
I think the Escalade can be a great driver if you just fix things . I prefer older vehicles myself over new and at my age I'm not trying to impress anyone . Spend a little money with fixing it at least you will know what's been done to it .
If 1 Horse maxes out at around 15 Horsepower, and 131.2 Ducks = 1 Horsepower, then realistically, how may Ducks will you need in your backyard to power your 345 Horsepower Escalade to a point where it is safe to drive I wonder? 🤔
Did I destroy the fence again?
Famous last words : Did you bleed the brakes ?
HAHA bro this video is so funny bruh
Don't give up on the Cadillac Escalade it worth fixing in my opinion
Escalade is great 👍. Don't give up on it. Put in the work on the brakes, and it will be a good tow truck, that is paid for.
You really should have changed that driver front caliper/pads/rotor to match the other side!
“NO THIS NEEDS A TOW VEHICLE” 😭😭😭😭😭 y’all are funny af
Mike: so this can’t be a tow vehicle?
Randy: No! This needs a tow vehicle!

I agree.

Lolol! When you said "Cadillac expert" I figured you flew in Big Al
"No, this needs a tow vehicle" 😂😂😂
I like it when Mike puts that theme from The Price is Right in there 🙂👍
Thanks Mike, keep up the great work. Love watching these videos.
@9:31 the driver rim is bent.. amongst other problems 😆
Randy and Mike makes a great show! Salute from Africa Kenya.
"NO...this needs a tow vehicle" lmao
The title doesn't sound good but you're still alive so that's key, hahaha! Love the videos as always Mike!!!
I love your videos Mike. I also love it when Randy (from Auto Auction Rebuilds) and you get together.
Why wouldn't you bleed all the brakes?
Randy's joke you took it and bought the Escalade and he's just so happy you fell for the joke and bought the Escalade can't you see it in his face and his eyes !
You still got a good deal on the Escalade. It is going to be an excellent tow vehicle.
Save that escalade Mike ❤️
Replace the other caliper (I think it's frozen), bleed the system, replace those shocks and fix the exhaust leak. It will ride and tow quite nice.
You two guys are so much fun to watch together! That Escalade with a little TLC might come back nicely.
Hey Mike an randy. Good luck buddy
I think you should go through this truck inside and out and fix it up!
Randy always amusees me the cops are gonna get called for drunk drivers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and this one as well
Mike : so this shouldn't be a tow vehicle is that what your saying
Randy: nooo this needs a tow vehicle 😂🤣🤣🤣
and then the other car honked at him for swerving hahahah
When you and Randy get together oh my God you guys are just hilarious I love it
Didn’t know Cadillac had self steering trucks back in the day!
You two are so funny I love when you do videos together. 😅😅Love you guys. Can't wait to see what you do with the Escalade and wonder wagon 2.
cap off those loose wires under the hood on caddi....then bleed those brakes and give it another try.....but get it over at randys shop and get it up on the lift and inspect the under belly
That look like a steering link problem Mike
Keep it up! You’ve been showing that car a lot lately idk if it’s the car for you…final last words…are the brakes fixed? Love having AAR there helping you Omg 😂😂
you rock that mopar hat like no other
Fix up the Escalade this winter and take it on the Hot Rod trip as a backup car for Randy.
The car's rear hatch is open. If Mike's rear hatch was open ... Houston we have a problem. LOL
You guys be safe and be careful 🙂👍🙏
I think the escalade is quite nice , its mileage speaks for itself, i think when brand new it was fantastic, it depends what you want out of it, once brakes r sorted you can run it as is,or do much more like interior , ball joints etc belts etc, if its good for the channel id go with more work.
Yeap just bleed does brakes u will be ok mike dont give up😊
Don’t get rid of the Escalade mike
Buen Dia Guys,
Watching in Mexico while eating Chilaquiles and Tamales! You guys are funnier than Gabriel Iglesias and Felipe Esparza! Keep up the good work!

Keep at it Mike its worth it.
Mike 🗣️ so Randy this isn’t a good tow vehicle 😅 Randy no Mike this vehicle needs a tow vehicle 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️ funny stuff guys!😅😅😅
enjoying the caddy videos !
“No! This NEEDS a Tow Vehicle!”
Change both disc's at same time time as they have different metal content hence friction, also brake pads are different with the same result, therefore braking effect different on each side
Help him Randy. You guys make a great Team.
What happened to the original Disco Infero MB.
You should rebuild the engine disco inferno car. I guarantee that's probably why it won't start something inside needs to be repaired
Umm, might want to check bleeding process. Every car I've done is the passenger rear first then drivers rear the passenger front and lastly drivers front. And normally don't have to do a ABS bleed if the master cylinder didn't go dry. I would just double check with your local Cadillac service center to be sure.
I agree, you shouldn't have to bleed the ABS pump if you didn't run the master cylinder out of brake fluid
Famous last words : Are we on fire ? I don't think Randy would test drive a Fiero. LOL
I lost it when Randy said “It needs a tow vehicle” 😂😂😂
Another great video.
Mike, can You make video where You talk about sold cars? Was barbie metro a success?
Always fun when you and Randy are together!
Mike i seen the exact station wagon for ten thousand in sc
Hi Mike Randy confirming what I said was wrong with the front ended when you did a video on the caliper selling it and getting a ford 150 for a great tow vehicle this needs so much work everything on it can be fixed but how much do you want to spend on it great video Mike
Dude love ur videos u and randy are great car guys
Randy's when for the brake problem bleed all four of brake's but steering on 03 Escalade is little odd Randy had me dying laughing said " You Going Need A Toe Vehicle For This"
Keep up the great work you guys.
At the time of this video 47.2 K Subscriber's YAY 😊 🎉🎉🎉🎉 FOR MIKEY 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mike Randy there. It just needs new front brakes calipers rotors never cheap out on brakes or steering.
Mike check out those mice traps on that river site that are plastic with teeth and a little bate station. Called Instant mouse traps. Ive had good luck with the Gerossi brand. They work wonders. I had a bad problem from a housing development being put in behind us and i killed more in a year than i have in my entire life. Peanut butter first and if you get one thats smart enough to get that off the trap and not get caught switch your bate to Pay Day Candy Bar as bate. Caramel makes it stick. Works every time.
Need to install a post lift so you can actually get all four wheels off the ground when working on brakes ! FYI🎉
Pre- video watch : Gate Repair pt. 2 ?
Another great sound bite : This is terrifying and I'm not even driving
Great video Mike.Thank you. I'd turn the cat in and scrap the rest as someone said and start fresh. There is a lot of truth in the old saying about good money after bad.
Lmao at the speed bump 😂
Famous last words : This needs a tow vehicle

I would really like to see the escalade in full glory. Fix it. Keep it. Use it as a tow car. 👍
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike and Randy. Let's see how the Cadillac Escalade drives with Randy behind the wheel. So far so good.
Good to see you Randy the Cadillac expert. 👍
Hey I just got a 1995 jeep Cherokee I think that it would tow okay,, it has the 5.2.
Fix the Escalade Mike. It’s probably not as bad as you think.
Worse case scenario: You can use it to tow the Disco Inferno 😉
"Are we on fire ? " 😂
install a proper hitch on the ml55 and use that for towing that would be so awesome
Considering some of randys progects the caddy is fine bleed the brakes and check the front end it will be fine new parts for brake would have been been better . They would have not been much $$
Maybe you could try entering a demonstration derby? Lol!!!
Does one tire have a belt shift.
Mike decided he wanted to be an automotive electricial engineer, so he got a new car for practice!🤔🤔👍🍺🍺❤️
Mike use sticky traps they work good in inclosed spaces. Don't use them in open areas dog or ducks might get into them
You definitely need to bleed the left, front caliper.
The stabilizer rod on the ride control that's not there is a big thing when the weight of the truck goes forward its suppose.to.pump.the front end up...the rod needs replaced.for sure.I wouldn't give up.on her yet
You guys are hilarious 😂
Nice cadillac randy
Famous last words Pt. 2 : I hope it's attached
I would fix the Cadillac up and send it through the auction
Mike " Safety First" Next time "Do" all the brakes on any car you purchase. Your better than that.
Just put some moth balls were you don't want mice, rats or squirrels to hang out.
Go around the block Randy 😂
When you change brakes you mind as well either change them all or in pair's.
I don't think you should be soo down on it after all the body and the engine sounds sweet
Sort the brakes and a set of shocks not forgetting the welding around the cat and you'll
have a good truck. That's a respectable mileage and must have been cared for to get that far.
What's the deal with American & Canadian Rats, mice and squirrels with cars and wires ?
We have both animals in uk but nesting in cars is almost un heard of.
Keep the escalade going! After all of these years, it could use a brake.
I think the Escalade can be a great driver if you just fix things . I prefer older vehicles myself over new and at my age I'm not trying to impress anyone . Spend a little money with fixing it at least you will know what's been done to it .
Well... Rent is gonna be stuck in my head for days now!!
Haha!
If 1 Horse maxes out at around 15 Horsepower, and 131.2 Ducks = 1 Horsepower, then realistically, how may Ducks will you need in your backyard to power your 345 Horsepower Escalade to a point where it is safe to drive I wonder? 🤔
Good luck 😀
Have way there with the Cadillac Escalade
Yeah, Who's got the funk?
