    Finally happened: '19 Escalade lifter failure

    Well, after 180K miles (yep, that's no typo) on my 2019 L86 Cadillac Escalade ESV, my lifters finally failed. Or, what I'm sure is the lifter/s failed. This is after religious maintenance every 5K miles, the best quality oil/filters you can throw at it, having a catch can, etc. Yesterday...

    Bi-directional scan tool for front aero shutter grille?

    I've been searching high and low for a bi-directional scan tool that will let me control/test the front aero shutter grille in my 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. Can anyone confirm if such a tool exists? I've been scouring Autel and a few others and can't find any tests in their database that...

    Installed Brembo big brakes on all 4 corners of my '19 Escalade!

    I finally installed Brembo brakes (big brake kit) using all genuine GM parts on my 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV! I've read many threads and watched a few videos on this. There always seemed to have been some modifications that had to be done, but in my case, it turned out to be way easier than I...

    Catch can hissing normal?

    I just installed a UPR catch can in my 2019 Escalade ESV. It hisses, but only on application of throttle. At idle it's silent. Also, it's installed correctly, as I JUST installed it, went for a 40 mile drive, checked it, and there is already like 1ML dirty oil in the can. Are catch cans...

    0W-20 to 0W-40?

    Given that there is a massive recall on the L87 engine, GM has been informing customers that have had their engines replaced to change their oil every 3,000 miles, and switch to 0W-40. I've been changing oil every 5,000 miles on my 2019 Escalade, which has the L86, with the factory 0W-20. It...

    19 Escalade: front differential very loud?

    Vehicle is a '19 Escalade ESV with 140k miles. 4WD system primarily driven in Auto at all times. Always change the diff gear oil and the trans case fluid religiously at 30k mile intervals. The last time I did the fluid change, which was about 3k miles ago, the front diff fluid stunk way more...

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV: stainless steel brake lines for REAR?

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I'm going to do the big brake upgrade for the entire truck, but while I'm at it, I want those piddly stock rear calipers gone as well. I already have braided stainless steel lines up front, but can't seem to find any information on stainless steel lines for the...

    AC doesn't blow cold air at idle

    2019 Escalade ESV. 130k miles. AC doesn't blow cold air at idle (weak): the air is just slightly cool. When I step on the gas (while it's still in Park/idle), the AC gets cold. This gets annoying because it won't be cold enough when sitting in heavy traffic. However, any kind of throttle I give...

    2019 Escalade ESV 10L80 (MF6) hesitating/shuddering

    Transmission exhibiting harsh shifting in all gears (1 through 10) and exhibiting what I think is TCC shudder. Getting a vibration/shimmy especially when feathering the throttle when the torque converter goes into lockup, which feels like driving over rumble strips. Tach RPM does bounce up and...

    10L80 - filled transmission at wrong temp???

    Just paid for a subscription to Alldata DIY...and I think I might have made a pretty bad mistake. When I did a transmission fluid change a few months ago on my 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV with the 10L80 MF6 transmission, I used instructions for the 10L80 which called for checking transmission...

    My turn to need motor mount replacement (again)

    Looks like it's my turn to need my motor mount replaced on my 2019 Escalade ESV. The is the second time I've had to get this service done; the first time was on my old 2012 Yukon Denali. Pretty sure it's the mount that's very problematic now. Getting a very odd vibration/shimmy when feathering...

    2019 Escalade fuel level wrong

    2019 Escalade ESV. All of a sudden the fuel level is way inaccurate. It has a 31 gallon tank, with a range of about 530 miles. The gauge is digital. I can fill up the truck completely, and while driving, it will "lose" 2-3 miles of range over a short amount of time. The worst I've seen is that...

    2019 Escalade 10L80 transmission fluid change

    I need to do a transmission fluid change for my 2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. It has the 10 speed 10L80 transmission. I'm at 108K miles. I want to do this myself, but it seems to be much more difficult than I expected. I got all the parts, and a shop said they would do the pan drop/filter...

    2019 Escalade front passenger seat rattling real bad

    Anyone got any advice for the front passenger seat clicking/rattling very loudly? Randomly it rattles to all hell, then other days it's quiet. Basically, when going over any type of rough road, or simply accelerating, that seat or something in that area makes a very loud audible "CLACK" sound...

    Knocking when going over bumps

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. Bought at 24K miles, at that time, had replaced all sway bar bushings. At 104K miles now. When coasting over bumps/rough road, I'm hearing a loud knocking/clattering coming from the bottom left of the vehicle (I think). Can hear it easily with the driver side window...

    Did something get bent (serious question)?

    2019 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I own up to it: I had a real lapse in judgment. Thursday, I took my truck to a shop to get them to road force balance the wheels and tires. It came back that 3 out of 4 failed. Whatever they did, made the truck feel worse, and it was loopy as hell. When I got the...

    New Escalade owner!

    Hey guys! New platform owner. Last week I sold my 2012 GMC Yukon Denali and got into a 2019 Escalade ESV Luxury (with some Premium features!). It was a long time coming; my '12 started to nickel and dime me pretty badly. I ended up spending over $2400 in the course of 2 weeks, and it stranded me...

    2012 GMC Yukon Denali XL: oil leak discovered

    First, I got stranded last week. Both batteries and starter was changed. See this thread. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/finally-stranded-me.129553/ Now, I just discovered that my truck is leaking oil. Can't say it's BAD, but it's concerning. Small puddles underneath the truck in the...

    Finally stranded me...

    Last week, I was out of town with my 2012 Yukon Denali XL. I was in Richmond, and I live in Maryland, so it's a bit of a hike. Anyway, I was going back to the truck, and remote started, and it clicked, like it was getting ready to start...and then after 3-4 seconds *reluctantly* started. This...

    AC blowing "lukecold"; HVAC sticker needed

    2012 GMC Yukon Denali XL. Taking it to the shop tomorrow because the AC is "lukecold"; only blows cold when holding engine speed above 2000RPM and going at least 70MPH. Even then, it alternates between blowing cold air and obviously hot air from outside. The problem is, the front sticker under...

    Oil filter seized, destroyed

    2012 GMC Yukon Denali XL. Always do my own oil changes; 15 minute affair at most. Probably done it close to a hundred times. Never, ever, ever had a problem...until today. For some reason, the oil filter seized and would not come off. I use a Mobil 1, M113A. Has always served me well. I put the...

    Brake stainless steel lines questions

    I have the new Stoptech 950.66002 SS lines installed on my 2012 Denali XL, up front. 1. Is there any detriment if the line is not completely straight? What I mean is, it's not kinked, but it's slightly "twisted", so you can see some warpage. Must have gotten like that when I was installing it...

    Front caliper banjo bolt torque specs?

    I'm changing both front calipers on my 2012 Yukon Denali XL. Does anyone know the torque specs for the banjo bolt? I read that it's 30 ft. lbs. somewhere, and then 33 ft. lbs. in another place. Thanks!

    2012 Denali XL: will these wheels fit?

    I have a 2012 Yukon Denali XL. It has the default ALY5304 rims. They are old, and the chrome is peeling. https://www.hubcaphaven.com/p/3568/aly5304-gmc-sierra-yukon-wheel-chrome-9595662.html A buddy of mine has a set of 4 ALY5698U80s that he just took off his 2015 Yukon XL. Will they fit on my...

    Clanking still there on my truck...

    2012 Yukon Denali XL. I posted this thread in August of last year trying to chase down the problem. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/odd-sensation-on-acceleration-from-full-stop.113897/ Clanking is still there: going over a bump with the front wheels cocked to the left, something...
