    Brake light pedal switch

    Hi guys! I found everything works on my 99' Cadillac Escalade. Except, when I hit the brake pedal, the lights come on then go off as I press harder. I checked all the fuses. Good. I pull the taillight bulbs. Good. I even put grease on the plugs. I sprayed some WD-40 on the plunger opening...

    The Resurrection of "Immanuel" 99' Cadillac Escalade

    Hello everyone! I have GREAT news! I completed the tune up on the 99' Escalade, double checked everything and she is running smooth and really good now. The lifter tick has also become almost non existent! I'm super grateful for all of you helping me with suggestions and ideas that kept me in...

    Spark Plug Gap

    Good morning forum. What is the correct Spark Plug Gap on a 99' Cadillac Escalade with a 5.7 Vortec? Is it 0.45 or 0.60? What does HVS mean?

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    Okay guys. I switched out the Cap and rotor. It was BAD! The rotor was completely collapsed. Cap corroded badly. I had a little hard time with the distributor screws. She sounded much better. Then I realized I crossed the wires somehow. I didn't have any more time to go through the firing order...

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    It was at idle. But she hadn't ran in 9 months. It seems to have cleared out now. I drove it last night about 10 miles through my neighborhood and I got her up to 45 in desolate stretches. She drives nice and smooth!

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    I'm going to dump the oil this weekend and run some 10W30 Full Synthetic. After 500 miles I'll drop oil again. Freshen it up for the recommended mileage for brand between changes. Thank you as always and I'll probably pit some Lucas Oil Treatment in it too.

    99' Cadillac Escalade "Immanuel" video

    Definitely will. Thank you. I just got the new cap and rotor today. Install tomorrow. I took it for a ride today, and IMMEDIATELY she started running better and the white exhaust stopped. No water in the oil either. She ran good once I was rolling and seemed to improve as I drove it. Now she's...

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    It's white exhaust, and it's warm where I'm at. Water is dripping from the exhaust as she's idling. If I Rev it, it throws a very little blue smoke. It has 225,000 on the clock. I'm praying since it was sitting for almost a year, it just has condensation in the system?

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    I bought the cap off Ebay. Not sure what brand to be honest. If there's a problem I'll definitely go Delco/Delphi. I'll be hooking a scanner soon. I dont have one yet. Thank you.

    The Resurrection of "Immanuel" 99' Cadillac Escalade

    Yeah. That's what I'll do! Thank you. I appreciate it much. You guys are awesome. It has ALOT of new stuff already on it too. So definitely got a good deal. I know, these prices are ridiculous nowadays. I'll put in some prayers for heating oil to come down for you. Thanks brother.

    The Resurrection of "Immanuel" 99' Cadillac Escalade

    Yes. The "Service engine soon" light is on. It was on empty, so I put $15.00 of 89 octane in. All fluids are topped off and I added coolant, STP Oil Treatment. Yes, tomorrow I'm completing tune up (cap & rotor) then I'm going to run diagnostics. All this after work. One thing, when it's idling...
