    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    Here ya go. They used four rolls of this + silicone adhesive: https://a.co/d/cgfSLTE You can see the new, second surround around the outer edge of the factory seal. Between that and the Soundskins in the door panels, I cannot believe the improvement all aorund. Truly shocking.

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    Had my custom shop add a double-layer of SoundSkins to all four door panels, underneath the floor carpet and a second rubber gasket to all the door and window surrounds on my ESV. The improvement is SHOCKING. On the decibel meter, the truck now runs at an average of 64 db at 70 mph. Based on...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Has anyone noticed a decrease in acceleration performance after an upgrade to the new oil? Can’t tell if it is real or imagined!

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Just got back my Escalade ESV - passed the test, new cap, new 0w40 oil. The dealer left a service reminder sticker on the windshield saying the next oil change is in 10,000 miles. Can this be right?

    Windshield Sunshade

    I have a dashcam on the passenger's side by the mirror module and recently bought a CoverCraft shade. I wound up cutting out a notch for the camera and it's been totally fine.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I still haven't received a letter from GM even though my Escalade is in the recall. Is it normal to still be waiting?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Same story for me. Was at Cadillac this morning and they said there was no remedy for my VIN even though I received the notification via the app. This is INCREDIBLY frustrating the way this is being managed.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Is it just me, or is the oil inspection a red herring? From what I’ve seen of the engine teardowns videos, you really need to be able to open the crankshaft to see the signs of wear.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I have a question. Given that a number of folks in this chat have had two or three engine replacements going into a single vehicle - does this suggest that there is an additional problem elsewhere in the powertrain?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Won’t the resale market for these trucks be divided into two categories: 1) engines replaced (higher value) 2) oil replaced (tainted value)

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Given that GM appears to have modified and updated the recall status several times now, it's becoming a bit confusing to know which end is up. Would any of you more qualified guys mind providing an update on the latest developments, and what we should be expecting/demanding from our dealers if...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    My son has his learners permit and is eager to get as much drive time as possible. I’m increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of him behind the wheel of an L87-powered vehicle right now. Is this valid or an overreaction on my part?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Ok this appears to be a major development: The “replace all engines built before a certain date” bulletin is now on the NHTSA website. Looks real, and looks like the oil change fix is no more. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCRIT-25V274-5347.pdf

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Ok there have been several posts in this thread in the last 24 hours that indicate GM has changed course from "oil change and new gas cap" to "every engine in the affected group will be replaced." Is this confirmed? If so - where are the specific details of this change?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    In absence of any GM solution right now - should we just go ahead and make the change over to 0W-40 as a holdover until the trucks are able to get formally inspected and updated?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I'm mystified at the risk GM is taking on - and the risk they are expecting their customers take on! So let me get this straight... 1. The dealer service departments don't have parts or materials and say they are therefore unable to do anything at all right now, YET 2. GM's bulletin says to...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    My service department guys told me they wished that GM hadn’t issued the recall until they were actually ready to DO something. I was also told the dealer had already seen a number of blown motors. Does anyone happen to have the link to join the class action lawsuit? And should I go ahead and...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Just talked to my dealership about my Escalade. According to them, no parts are available right now, no work can be done right now, the dealership cannot do anything right now. They aren't going to do anything for the moment. The guy told me to wait until I receive a letter in the mail with...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I just received an Alert notification in the MyCadillac app about the recall. I already have a dealer visit scheduled for Tuesday - what should I be expecting/asking of them to do?

    Cleaning exterior rubber seals and trim pieces

    Hi guys - Some of the black rubber gaskets and seals around the windows and roof area of my Escalade are turning grayish white. I'm wondering what you recommend to restore them to black. Please let me know what you think - thanks! Lon White

    Trailer brake light / hitch

    I have a 36” rear bumper protector Thanks for letting me know about the My Cadillac app...SO FRUSTRATING. I spent an hour searching for it yesterday, convinced I was missing something right under my nose. I'll have to get in there and double check the connections to make sure I didn't miss...

    Trailer brake light / hitch

    Hi team- I just ordered a Diode Dynamics Hitch Brake for my 22 Escalade. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to get it working in the trailer app. It looks like there is supposed to be an option to activate the seven pin connector, but it keeps telling me "No Trailer Profile Has Been...
