So are you gonna share what to do if your engine or transmission blows up while driving and how to spot it while it's about to fall apart?
Hey Scotty is there a way I could ask you a very important question about cars
Scotty I know you're definitely going to heaven you got a great heart brother thank you
Thanks for watching🎖️Write me now 🖊️with the line ±𝟏𝟑𝟎𝟓𝟔𝟐𝟐𝟎𝟖𝟖𝟓 I'll share with you some beneficial 💯insight🎆 Happy New year 💠🔘............
@@Scotty-kilmer... happy New Year Scotty thank you
07 Escalade owner here. 256k miles still on original engine and transmission. Best truck hands down
One in a million fam
@@rafaelcastro6743 mine is at 212miles 2010 same engine and transmission and drives like new its really reliable truck
You have the correct one bro no AFM and flex fuel. That truck is going to last like the gmt800. I sadly have the 2010 version with AFM and flex fuel. My lifters gave up but it has 220+k miles I’m going to rebuild the engine remove the AFM and DOD.
i have an 07 yukon denali xl with 300k miles, motor and trans still going strong. i i made a video of my 2005 yukon denali xl, with close too 200k miles. only issues i had with my 05 was i was getting low oil pressure and i lost my 3rd gear in my transmission. bought a remanufactured trans with a 1 year warranty
@@madwestboy hell yeah man
My 08 Escalade ESV has 300k miles. Is an absolute tank and never had issues. So many memories with that vehicle. I will buy another.
My 07 cadillac escalade has 327k
My dad is a Cadillac freak /fan ..all types and years most were junk but the Escalades are /were like tanks ..they all went 250k miles no problems other than basic stuff , we also had the Ext CAddy truck , well I used that truck to pull a car trailer (22 ft.)..I put mini bobcats , every car & truck , forklifts )..just crazy stuff that truck pulled like no other , through the mountains of Nc ,as a shipper transporter set up , just hard to believe the Escalades and also only caddy that held somewhat it’s value also !👍🏼👍🏼
I just bought an 08 esv today with 140k.
Can i ask you where do you live? A cold area?
I think the main problem with these cars transmissions is they’re not getting enough cooling. My car (Escalade 2008) transmission temperature can reach easily to 120 Celsius (248 Fahrenheit). And guess what, the transmission failed after 150k miles. I reinstalled a new transmission with an external transmission cooler and now it is working just fine.
If someone is able to afford $150,000 for a vehicle i don't think gas mileage is a concern for them.
Right? 😂
I agree!
A used one like in this video is more than affordable in the 20K cost range, most any of us could afford, but wouldn’t be able to afford the gasoline to run it
Nope 😂

We have a 2007 Escalade and it is one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. 175,000 miles and still running strong! The mileage has never been great, but we knew that when it was purchased.
I drove my Escalade Esv up till 260k miles! Would’ve kept it but hated parking it, too big for one person so I traded for a BMW M650i gran coupe. Then I missed the size and my husband got a 23 Silverado Z71 with a 10in lift on 22s and 35s 🫣😅❤️
I have also a 2005 dodge ram cummins with 1.25 million miles and still running strong also.
@@natedog01able I don’t mean to sound dumb but I can’t tell if you’re serious lol, does it actually have that many?😳cause that’s wild man
im selling my 2002 with 765k miles on it
Omg so I'm not the only one with a 2007 escelade
I had a 99 Yukon Denali, which was virtually the same as the 1st gen. Escalade. The transmission went out at 175K miles. At the time, a local shop wanted $2400 to replace it. Times were tough, so I bought a "How to rebuild" DVD and a rebuild kit. Saved myself almost 2K and I know it was done right. Sold the truck with 255K miles and got an 06 Escalade to replace it. Transmission started slipping 2 years ago at 185K miles. Dusted off the o'le DVD. Best $20 I ever spent! I'm now at 215K miles.
I was randomly looking online, and saw a 07 escalade for 12,800k. It's only 111,k miles on it, I was like I always loved those cars. So I am researching and I want to go look at it tomorrow. I think that would be a steal, but now I know to try to look under and see if there any rust. If Rust I won't get it.
I've got a 2010 Escalade EXT pickup. Phenomenal vehicle. I'm the 2nd owner since new. Extremely well maintained. It has 180k and gets 11mpg. It does not have the deactivation. Those are not good. I'm very happy with the truck. They don't even make them anymore so it should keep it's value. Another great video Scotty. Thanks!!
Does it compare to any other vehicles you’ve been in performance wise?
I myself have a 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum Edition, 160k original miles I'm the second owner. Has been very reliable on me, old vs new all day long.
The blue needles in the gauge cluster is dope 🔥
Had mine since new. Has 150000 miles 12yrs I had it. No engine issues. I use it in manual so the transaxle doesn't go yet
My 07 Chevy suburban LTZ runs great 190,000 mi thank God still treating me right doing regular maintenance on it myself😊
2007 Escalade with 225k miles and still running strong 💪
I myself have a 08 Cadillac Escalade barely 90k miles oil change done every 4k miles beautiful built made in Arlington tx
I have a 2007 with just over 179K miles (70-80k of those are mine) and have to say that barring climate related issues with the PVC hoses in the desert it has been pretty reliable. The LS engine just goes. Note: the issue that exist with DoD (Displacement on Demand) or AFM (Active Fuel Management) isn't so much oil consumption as much as it is that the spring loaded lifters start to twist and destroy the camshaft (which then destroys other stuff). I never thought about the thermal issue due to AFM - good call out!
No one can replace this man’s voice
151K reasons I stick with my '05 Camry, and '06 Corolla - no car payments!
Amen. My 2018 Tacoma or my 2016 Camry gets me anywhere I want to go with no car payments. 🌞
They got 151k each?
I have 2015 Camry and 2010 Escalade and 93 Chevy Silverado
Has been the one with less issues it was my dad truck 2-3 years got new gaskets that it still runs nice 😅
Your corolla can't tow a boat and drives like crap
I have a $151k Escalade V - no car payments either!
My issue with my 2009 escalade was the air compressor for the suspension. The location in the left rear wheel well was not the most ideal...it failed twice on me within a relatively short amount of time ...the vehicle was solid aside from that...loved it
I bought a 2021 Escalade and the lifters failed at 28,000 miles. They only replaced one side of the engine, so I sold it to carmax.
Dang it Scotty! I don't care about Cadillac, but I end up watching it anyay, you have me chuckling all the way.....
I could get an RV for $151,000 with a bed and kitchen etc, anyone that pays that price for an SUV has more dollars than sense
Makes ya wonder how many ever get paid off.
Actually, I could purchase a couple of houses with that.
You right lol
The most i've paid was 2500$ for a car...
@bernardbernabe7733 what are you talking about?? I don't see any reason to pay that much for a vehicle, that's a waste of money
I remember when I ordered my Ford 1975 Mustang II hatchback with my fathers Ford employee discount.
302 V8 fully loaded with eight track, beautiful Copper color for $5,500. My dad thought I was nuts paying that much. It handled wonderful on the highway but only 12 mpg. Gas in Michigan was 49 cents a gallon. Unfortunately the summer of 1979 my bride of six months wanted the car with A/C and her drive was 3 miles round trip. Also working for Chrysler as a computer programmer at Dodge Main in Hamtramck, I was encouraged to own a Chrysler car and the new employee discount on a used executive car was great.
Then 1985 my wife explained that the baby car seat wouldn’t fit in a two door or rear hatchback. Great engine and I could do 90% of the maintenance and repairs. In 2023 it’s almost impossible to even get your hands in the engine. With the cost of buying a house and a car today is beyond the middle class.
Love you straight talk Scotty
I love the looks of the 2009 to 2014 Escalade … definitely thinking of getting one fav suv
I have a friend who had a 2003 Escalade with 410,000 miles on hers. My grandmother still has her 1992 Sedan Deville she bought in 1993 with over 200,000 miles the thing still runs...lol Cadillac has made some reliable cars over the years and some crappy ones. My Aunt had a '98 Catera, one of her worst cars ever.
I got a remanufactured transmission, put in my O4. I didn't feel comfortable having the shop go into the old one. So I got it replaced. Also got a 3 year warranty.
I bought my 05 gmc Yukon Denali xl 6.0l 4l60e with 102 k on it for 11,5. 12 years ago and still going strong. I have over 270 k on it now. Just normal stuff that you have to fix or replace has been done to it. Buy other than that she is still going strong.
Oh yeah I forgot, I just replaced the fuel injectors about 2 months ago and now I am averaging 21 mpg. I was only getting 16 to 17 mpg.
Correct if the tranny failed, it was probably due to his customer towing with it in overdrive
True I learn that from my dad he got 01 Denali back then still has that truck. But in the manual also says that in street driving not to engage overdrive to drive on 3 and surprising it drives better and so far no transmission issues he still has the original transmission. The only thing that he has replaced in that truck was front diff
The AFM has a tendency to collapse the the lifters its best to get rid of the AFM either with a camshaft and lifter upgrade or a AFM disabler you can plug into the OBD 2 port
$151,000? Wait a year and it will be $32,000
That's funny
Ummm no
Wait two years, so someone else replaces the transmission ;)
Yeah, it's ridiculous what's going on.
Don't buy used unless Scotty is your mechanic. He will be honest with you
It’s gonna be pretty cool to look back on cars like the escalade V and blackwing sedans in 20 years just like how we look back on cars like the trailblazer SS today.
My 2013 cadillac escalade ESV platinum edition has done me and my family pretty well other than gas MPG. it's a great truck overall
What does platinum mean
@@johnlira3316platinum is an Escalade trim level. It’s the highest trim. The fully loaded model.
I love how so many people think supercharging somehow gets you better gas mileage. The SC shoves in more air so guess what, you can shove in more fuel and make more power.
Got my wife a 2011 Escalade ESV 2 years ago, with 130k miles. It has a super clean interior and a good body. We've put 15k miles on it. I bought it for 17k but put another 3k on it catching up the maintenance and fixing a handful of minor things. Plus a tuning to deactivate the AFM, for longevity in my case. It felt like a new truck when I drove it home from the mechanic. The front magnetic shocks were waring out this year so another 3k there. It can feel like a money pit at times, but I'm pretty happy with it. If I did it again, I'd probably get a suburban just for the 4x4 instead of the AWD. (We use it to tow our camper and sometimes it gets muddy).
Don’t worry can’t afford one anyway, can’t even afford to get my own car fixed. Yet still love your knowledge.
My parents have a 2012 and 2011 ESV Platinum and EXT Platinum (can’t remember which one is which year), they bought them brand new back in 2011 and we still use them as our daily driver. They’ve got over 450000 km on them and I believe the only things that have gone wrong recently are the suspension a year ago and the window power electronics (the windows would close and open slower than it use to, maybe getting stuck?). Otherwise it had regular maintenance.
I think it may have had a couple more major services or repairs in the first 4 years (I was 10-14 and hadn’t payed much attention to the service work 😅), but in the last 6, just those 2 problems mentioned earlier. The engine runs fine and you can feel the acceleration from the >400hp.
Dad loves them. Family and friends still give compliments at how comfortable and cool our Escalades are, even 10 years later. Parents didn’t get the 2016 update since they weren’t much of an upgrade (and dad’s loved EXT model was removed), but is thinking of maybe getting the newer models (though EXT is still missing). But our Escalades are still holding up fine!
With proper maintenance must GM products are pretty good. They don't do well when not maintained. I love my impala.
400 HP in a 6,000 lb vehicle 😂
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 sure it’s no sports car, but it’s still on par with modern top trim trucks (besides the more sporty TRXs, Raptors, etc…). And with the 4WD, they haul!
@@fixingitrightish Yeah and rust if you live in the wrong spot. Sehaj, you probably don't live around the great lakes. Michigan and surrounding states will eat cars. Especially GMs (except the properly made fglass body over real chassis-Corvette) and I don't need to mention that the LS v8s and V6s are the best swap motors along with Honda Ks.
Certain 90s Audis that were still "reasonable" to work on were what I rolled there because they were truly rust proof. And Audis were tanks in the 90s. Stay away from the V8s in any year tho. Stay pre direct injection. Gosh this new crap ruins everything. Advancing tech could make cooler cars, instead its making them worse.
Even though I'm dogging GM, I still acknowledge the LS motor and Corvette as great things and what does GM do? Discontinue LS and turn the Corvette into an EV Crossover. That is the pinnacle of removing masculinity from our society and woke ugly bimbo Mary Bara is just rubbing it in. When is somebody going to say enough already, just because you're a bull-dyke CEO who wants to ruin masculinity for men doesn't mean you get to destroy a nearly 70 year old national icon, go cool off somewhere.
@Taxation IsTheft haha I live in Wisconsin. I am an hour from Lake Michigan. I know all about rust and the need for frequent car washes throughout winter at proper times. I own bolt extractors of every size because when you live in the rust belt it is a must. I have worked on enough cars to say no car is safe if the wrong kind of person owns it.
I have been driving SUBURBANS for 18 years, put over 300k miles on two of them with the original power train, but after my last one (a 2019), I will never buy another GM product.
Go back to 06 or older…
You are selling me on Toyota Scotty. Also, I love the fact that Toyota isn't going to stop offering ICE vehicles. It's OK to build EV's for the people who want them but we also need a choice for ICE vehicles.
EV is a scam and Toyota knows it
Get a pre 2012 without all the excessive tech crap. All tech is unreliable and as tech becomes more than half the mass of the car, you won't be able to see any difference in reliability between brands like Honda/Toyota and the others anymore. Can't you all see that they're slowly weaning us onto a system like China where you're car won't start if your carbon footprint exceeds ALOTTMENT for the week. Make it a point to use cash for everything. Boycott 2015 and up cars. The market may never realize it, but if we valued cars only for how long and easily they will continue to facilitate our constitutional right to free movement, every 90s honda/toyota with a stick would be worth 3 million right now. Take a 2023 Escalade or a 2023 ANYTHING vs a 97 camry with a 5 speed. In the midst of nuclear war and recession, which one guarantees you get to work and the grocery for the next 10 years with no giant issues that are expensive and/or too complicated to do yourself. I didn't realize what a rant that was til I looked up, yowza
@@taxationistheft9441 I've got two Honda's, a 98 V6 with 315k and a 2002 4 cylinder with a manual transmission. They're both daily drivers for me. My truck is a 90s F150 with the dependable straight 6 and 5 speed manual. The older the better in my opinion. I wish they were carbureted!

Diesels get better gas mileage
Always turn the AFM cylinder deactivation off it wears down the lifters

FiFU: nothing wrong with buying Toyotas in good condition with high mileage
Do You need to warm up these engines ? Or just simply run and go immediately will be good enough for them ?
scotty Im about to get a 2005 cadillac escalade base with only 2 previous owners and only 117k miles original.
It looks mint! It did have some rear end damage early in its life and now its ended up at a local honda dealer for 10k.
I want to get it but im worried about its age.
2006 Cadillac Escalade AWD 208,000 12.8 MPG 321 miles full tank
The cylinder deactivation in the GM V8 engines rotates which cylinders are shut off every 28 revolutions of the engine.
GM ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE
The only time cylinders should deactivate is when the vehicle is off!
And it's junk ,just like when gm did that a long time ago
Not 10 year old ones like the one Scotty is reviewing. That one shuts down the same 4 cylinders each time
151 crazy price especally when the chevy is half that and only difference is trim. but what the price if they make it ev?
200ki saw comparason of utility bucket truck chassee 90k diesel electric 270k plus charge station. and one test on you tube the ford electric pickup no package just pull up to charger cost to fill from 0 to full was 100.00 dollars
Can pick those up at the auction cheap. They drop in value very fast
Scotty eats his own words! 200K miles from a GM vehicle! I've got a Ford with over 200K and a GM with over 121K and both are still on the road with no major issues.
I've got a work van GM 2500 series with 450,000 miles on it- best vehicle l have ever owned!
200K ain’t nothing, in Texas.
@@sunshine3914 Maybe but to hear Scotty tell it you'll be lucky to make it to 100K with GM.
Ive never made it past 150k in a GM vehicle without having to do some major work..& I maintain my cars/trucks pretty well(regular oil changes , tunes, etc.) I own a 2010 Escalade now with only 120k & its having issues
Also, look at supercharger kits for these. They are very good and come with a tune.
2014 Ecotec in a Chevy Equinox AWD, Original trans, OEM Crank/crankcase. over 270,000 miles. Tell me that's not a lie.
Hmmmm with cylinder deactivate aren't the cylinders dry and rings scuffing are they using low tension piston rings????
These newer Escalade's (the 2007 to 2014 generation) with the 6.2 L V8 engine, including active fuel management (AFM) and the six-speed automatic transmission have much better performance than these older (the 1999 to 2001 generation) ones without AFM. They are a lot more reliable, compared to the Lincoln Navigator. These Navigator's, especially the older ones (the 2005 and 2006 model) with the 5.4 L Triton 3-valve V8 engine and the six-speed automatic transmission had a lot of problems. So, this 2011 Cadillac Escalade ESV is the best vehicle in the used market, if you are planning to or need to buy a large SUV with an extended wheelbase. Anyway, these large SUV's and large pick-up trucks are the best, safest vehicles to buy in the used market, because the value is not too high. Thank you very much and have a great first week of 2023.

9:40 I just got a tuner about a month ago to turn off the VCM on my ‘13 Accord EX-L V6 and I’m glad I did. It runs so much smoother and it doesn’t vibrate the crap out of the car when cruising down the road like it did before.
I did the same for my Pilot. Actually gets better mileage, no oil issues and full power!
Fully expect my 2004 Sequoia 4WD to reach 500,000 on the original drive train. Best thing? Only paid $4000 two years ago. Only has 168,000 miles, runs like a clock. There is nothing out there that comes even close.
Make sure you change that timing belt every 90,000 and it just might reach 500k
Love your show Scotty! Watching near your hometown in WNY! Keep up the great work! Also, Happy New Year! Wish you and your family health, wealth, and happiness!
im imoressed that the cylinder deactivation is working, without any issues! I mean, 12 year old vehicle... Wonder why some GM's can last and others don't... Surely its not all just due to maintenance, or lack there of..?
My problem with them is the same problem I have with German vehicles, gratuitous use of plastic pieces - engine and body! Terrible electronic issues!
To me the SUV is something you could share with your entire family to take trips together or go in inclement weather but for doing everyday things it's so much easier to just get a car! They have small car sized SUV's that are like crossovers that would work better for more personal uses.
True
Suv are better for inclement weather and carrying people in the backseat. Sedans are better for everything else.
@@RRLV434 if you got the right tires otherwise why bother.
Some people are used to driving trucks and dont mind the mpg. So they basically buy a truck suv haha. Some people use thier vehicle to tow.

Scotty is praising the original cost $150,000 Escalada, made by GM. On the other hand, he trashed Chevy Cruze on different occasions, which I happened to buy it new in 2012, $17,500, and ten years later today, still driving it, with 70k miles on it, without any repair on engine and manual transmission.
70k is not much and close to when those transmissions fail
because you haven't driven it. It's a garage queen

@@gary_beniford look at my post carefully, it is a manual transmission, I plan to drive it to 300k miles.
@@mikej238 I agree my cruze has seen a lot of time parking, however in today's working from home situation, I just cannot find enough time to drive her, besides the weekends.
Paid $17k for mine 3 years ago (new was $111k). Love it.
I LOVE MY CADDY !! Buy a Prius and enjoy your go-cart.
Scotty...
I'm in NY... willing to go see you up in RI with my 2015 GMC Yukon XL when you travel there... I keep getting codes P0175, P0172, P0430 and P2097...
I have changed the Air Flow Mass Sensor, All Oxigen Sensor and Air Filter... It goes away but lights always comeas back...
Dealer says it's the "CAT"
Car runs fine, no hesitation, no shaking, no loss of power... I don't think is the CAT myself...
I've tried the fluids you recommend for the fuel but engine light comes back eventually... What do you think... It has 210K+ miles... Only thing I have not changed is the fuel injectors & CAT... I've changed everything else...
I would love to keep it (if it's worth it) or get a Sequoia...
**shopping for $150,000 vehicle**
Me: "What's the mpg on this bad boy? Trying to be frugal, ya know?"
Salesman: "Get out"
It's like when shopping for a rolls Royce and you ask the sales person about gas mileage and they reply if you are concerned about that then you can't afford this!

Correction. Honda may have issues but chevys gms did as well. Technician speaking
I'm just buy used 2015 Cadillac escalade esv drive couple months very happy that. Hugs and safe. Very good price $25000 so maintenance myself very cheap part compare with BBA a lot of part GM same part
Imagine comparing a Toyota anything to an Escalade… that’s like comparing a golf cart to a school bus lol
I'd rather buy an old Lamborghini for that kind of money
Tinted windshield? Looks good if so maybe I am tripping
my dad put 500k on one of these things when i was growing up. it was a 2001 pickup model.
I'd change the rear main seal before installing a new transmission just for peace of mind
My 2013 expedition gets 14mpg. It's a struggle to go to a smaller truck though
Scotty what do you think about the chevy Colorado 2018?
the most i ever spent on a car was $9500 and it only had 40K miles on it
What is the best used diesel pickup to buy?
I don't understand what the demographic is for these pieces of junk, especially when they're new. $150k+ for a rebadged Yukon. They're not even reliable. Good video though!
Any thoughts on late model Honda cylinder deactivation?
I’ve had a ‘14 ESV Platinum with a Hennessey HPE550 kit (Magnuson Supercharger, intercooler, tuning, etc.) for over 5 years and I love it. Gas mileage is terrible, but who cares😂. Only issue I’ve had is a bad solenoid in the TCM. About $500 for a new TCM and $75 to program it 👍
Can you please do a video on a 08-13 Cadillac ext evap system?
Priceless information, Scotty. 👌🏾

Does the 6.2l come with the 4L80E or 4L60E?
Inspired by the 3500 ram with the Cummins diesel with the eyes and transmission made by Toyota they are brought they say they're bulletproof and I watched a lot of things on RUclips about them great transmission miter truck had 100,000 mi never had a problem
Why can't Ford and GM get it better I keep bringing more of this new technology out everything's at 10 speed automatic transmissions the greatest I hear a lot of them break at a hundred some thousand miles the six-speed automatic eyes and the way to go made by Toyota why don't you just go back to the six-speed automatic the other two manufacturers like the Allison good transmission everyone shove all this new technology down they want everything to break through the buy new truck all the time
Absolutely no way I will ever buy a new car off the lot. They are overpriced. I will eat someone else eat the depreciation fee.
Scotty I noticed Kim Karhdashian has one if that tells you something
Cadillac ATS owner here my car has 280,000 miles on it. Still going
Crudillac, Break Down, should be the motto
What scanner is that?
That is very nicely maintained example
this is a big V8 engine that will last 3 times more than any turbo junk for example toyota new 3.5 junky turbo engine
If i listened to this Guy,I would be driving a bicycle 🚴 for the rest of my life
On the subject of large vehicles and gas milage...my Telluride by Kia gets 24 mpg avg. 2021 v6 270 horsepower or so.
Uni-body versus Body on Frame. Two completely different vehicles.
Ur right my kids use tinder all the time in the back seat instead of their factory installed dvd system 😂😂😂😂
180k on any automatic transmission isn’t bad.
