    Exhaust smell in cabin Escalade 2021

    Here is the post from gm authority. I can’t find the original piece. I have the performance lpo which was a cat back exhaust system with a kn cold air intake https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/05/2021-cadillac-escalade-cat-back-performance-exhaust-not-available/

    This. I have the cold air performance intake and the exhaust installed by the dealer. They are a waste of money.

    Z71 Off Road

    True story: we were on a multi week camping trip from Colorado, to Wyoming to montana up to glacier and back down. I have a 2021 Escalade esv with max towing (important here). In Wyoming we were going to disperse camp in an area called shadow mountain across from the Tetons. Absolutely...

    2021 Yukon XL Denali - third engine and still under 42k miles

    So my Yukon Denali 2021 stranded me 4 times in 4700 miles. Working through the service manager, gm bought it back. I know it’s tempting to dump it and just get out but do the buy back. It takes about 6 weeks

    Yea the whole cold air intake and exhaust was a complete waste. It was part of the package for the lot vehicle. I actually asked if they could keep it since they didn’t have the parts yet. They said no. It changed absolutely nothing except now I have exhaust drone at 50 - 60 mph

    Thank you for that info too. Honestly feel like the kn is more trouble than it’s worth

    Ahhh. That is the engine air filter. Which doesn’t matter because I have the KN cold air intake. So it is completely different.

    Exhaust smell in cabin Escalade 2021

    Appreciate the info. Obviously I’m stoked that it wasn’t an exhaust leak but I’ve never had a cabin filter smell that bad. And I wonder if there is a way to prevent that going forward. According to the air filter gauge it had 50% off life left.

    Exhaust smell in cabin Escalade 2021

    Well I always like to close the loop on problems. The tech smoke tested the exhaust system and found no leaks. They said that the awful smell was a bad cabin air filter. I was a little surprised. They replaced the filter and put bacterium into the system and it does indeed smell a lot better...

    Anyone Purchased Extended Warranty Plan ?

    Side note on my story. My rear left tail light on the Escalade 21 is 2000. Not changing my tune but you don’t need that part to fail too many times

    2022 Lifter Issue? - w/video, out of state issue (edit: thrust bearing broke)

    I think that is it right there. Not an ounce of compassion. I feel for you. I wish you success my friend.

    2022 Lifter Issue? - w/video, out of state issue (edit: thrust bearing broke)

    Hey local Colorado resident here and members of the failed lifter team. Your lifter issue sounds like mine. No lights or warning. Just the ticking bomb sounds. Try to have your car sent to king gm in Longmont or foundation Chevy in wheat ridge. This is my two cents, I drove around 4 weeks with...

    Anyone Purchased Extended Warranty Plan ?

    Yes you are correct. No out of pocket. I think my point is the reliability at this point makes me think I won’t even really use the extended warranty. I just don’t feel that the build quality is there. There is more to the story. I also had a 2021 Yukon Denali that I had to lemon at 4K miles...

    Anyone Purchased Extended Warranty Plan ?

    I have an Escalade 2021 ESV and I bought the extended warranty through the dealership. I think mine was 7k. I have 32k miles on mine now and I have had the lifter issue, a severed injector harness grounding wire, a faulty rear leg taillight and now I’m about to take it in for an exhaust shell in...

    Exhaust smell in cabin Escalade 2021

    It’s probably not something I should try myself? I’ve done some auto work but this is probably beyond me.
