- Hey Good People,
I got the escalade engine back from the customer. He found a machine shop that was able to smooth out the lifter cylinder that go damaged when it fell apart.
In this video, you'll follow along as I reassemble everything. Here is the video of me disassembling the video: • Cadillac Escalade Lift...
Here is the video on how to diagnose lifter issues on a Cadillac just like this one : • Low Mileage Cadillac E...
This was really fun to do. I hope you guys enjoy the video!

I had no reservations about doing this work myself to save a few thousand bucks in labor but being able to watch you run through it all first is pretty awesome. Thank you, two thumbs up!!!
Really great work. Absolutely surprised GM want customers to foot the bill on a bad design. On a $65,000-$85,000 vehicle?? DIY comment. 😎💯
I watch Alex at break at work he explains thing very accurately then I watch him at home when I'm working on cars trucks.
I love to see black men that knows how to do this type of work stay up my brother ❤
✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 👨🏽🔧
I really like that you don’t use power tools for reassembly. I prefer to assemble with hand tools as well. 👍
Even though these two videos are NOT tutorials, I learned a lot! Thank's man! You're awesome!
I haven’t any idea about engine. Since I saw the whole video have confident I can build up the engine. Thank you brother all your efforts. ❤
I love the quality and detail of your work. Thanks for not half doing your customers. I'm looking for your address now to bring you my truck to repair my lifters. The mechanic near me is talking about how he can by pass the DOD or the special lifters. I don't know the correct name, but they are not the regular lifters. Anyway, great job and take your medication for your allergies like your wife said. You and my daughter have all-day allergies if you don't, and the cats are so cute.
I have a 2017 Sierra [6.2L] at the dealership as we speak with this same problem. I searched for videos on YT to see what the fix is for this [lifter] problem. Well, Alex you sure know your stuff with engines. Wish I had brought mine to you to fix. I watched the entire video, really enjoyed it. Way to go brother.
I really appreciate the support and thanks for watching buddy. I pray they take real good care of you at the dealership
Great video. I’m getting more confident I’ll be able to work on my engine eventually.
Great work brother.. i loves cadillac escalade and i want to learn how to works on them.. got a 2012 and my lifter has collapsed. So watching your videos helping me a lot
Thank you I’m battling this same thing in an Escalade right now. This was so helpful.
Awesome mechanic. Wish you were close to where I live. This is why I found a nice 2000 GMC Sierra. No Dod/Afm bs to cause problems.
I really like watching your videos and good work. I will make a slight criticism and it's only to make you aware of something. So I had the same issue with my escalade last month except my lifter didn't fall apart but seized up. Anyways it's very important when re-using the oil pump that you install guides before removal. That way it perfectly lines up when re-installing. If your using a brand new one it doesn't matter. The manual is very specific on this and your oil pump can fail if you are off. There are a lot of videos on this and like I said it's important to have that right. Might not fail this week or next but will likely fail and the. Your pulling engine again and worst case replacing engine.
Thanks for the information I will look into that. Thanks for watching buddy
Great video! You are very meticulous in your work. If you were to build one of these engines for ultimate durability and to solve known defects from production, what would you do and can you list out the parts?
Keep up the great work!
I’m actually building one for myself I will make a video of my progress. Thanks for watching and the support
Thanks Alex for this video I have 2016 cadillac escalade esv 6.2l I will fix it my self
Good keep blessing you 🙏
Thanks for watching buddy
I kind of want to do mines too I want to just refresh everything I have a 2007 caddilac escalade 6.2 liter
I just got it like a month ago and I been throwing money at it so far bought it for the family just added a new head to the family so we needed something big but yeah I want to rebuild it so it can last for a while but good work
Hey buddy if it’s not making any noise just keep using very high-quality oil and you should be fine
I agree with Alex here
❤ Nice work but I always delete the DOD/AFM.
I love your video.
The Dr in his element! 😊
Man, i love this stuff 👨🏽🔧
Seeing how you liked to use no power tools, have you ever used a speed handle? I used one lots during my engine assembly days. There's even a bit of a trick to getting it to spin using the offset handle. Maybe no one uses them anymore. Just a thought.
I have 2015 Escalade premium with 84k miles with the same problem currently. Sad to say it’s the worst vehicle I’ve owned, from the lifters to torque converter failure and magnetic ride control failure.
Dang man sorry to hear that that really sucks.GM needs to do better they v8 engine’s has went down hill and quality control
So I noticed that you didn't install a oil pan gasket, you used a sealant why? I always thought the gasket was better than a sealant, you're the mechanic I know it's all good.
I've got a 17 caddy with same problem. Number 7 cylinder lifter came apart.trying to find someone to clean up the lifter bore. Thanks on the info on the law suit. Really good video an detailed.u got a new subscriber .
Thanks so much for watching and the sub buddy
Thanks for that GM issue. I will be looking into that. I have a 07 escalade ext truck with the 6.2
Oh and I'm mad at you for not having this video last month lol. I'm the one over here doing all this with the engine still in the vehicle. Omg is it a pain to do all this inside vehicle. Especially without fully pulling exhaust. Never again will I do this inside.
Gotta follow that lawsuit cus hell naw
I definitely hope they get this figured out because this is too much, and not fair for the customer.
Man! We live and we learn right! 😅
Even using low quality gas causes newer engines to have a major problems in the long run.
Hello I'm going thru this same problem 16 Escalade platinum started ticking really bad went the dealer where are you located?
Not sure if you already did this but didn't film it. Cam shaft cover gasket, oil pump gasket, timing cover main seal.
You mean I didn’t show replacing those seals right
I am having this lifter issue at this very moment not to mention other issues 🤦♂️Thank you for your videos you’re doing a great job. Thank you and @CorvetteZ069 for the information about the lawsuit. I hope it get resolves soon because I can’t afford to get it repaired at this moment and I’m no longer under warranty with the car still under 100k miles.
Thanks Alex. My cad is in the shop now for this. Just curious why if you take this engine so far down that you don't rebuild the bottom end of it replacing pistons rings and bearings? Wouldn't the labor to do the whole thing be pretty close to the same at this point? In my case that was the case so I went for the entire rebuild. I also had 138k on the motor when the lifter finally failed.
I just purchased this 2016 escalade, and that's what happened to me, and i drove it less than 400 miles before it happened.60.000 miles on the escalade, under warranty less than 30 days left. Should i just return it for my money back guarantee 💯
Return!! Once it’s fixed, it could happen again.
Thanks for all you do. I got a 2011 escalade making the same sound as the one in ur video. If u not busy when can i bring it by ur shop. I live close by.
My pleasure buddy.sorry to hear the bad news,you can give my shop a call to check availability my # 4704350015
I have a 2015 escalade with 96000. First shop quoted me and it started at 2400 to fix than went all the way at to 3600 and I ask them to explain these prices and they couldn’t give me one, but I have it at another shop for 2700. Been sitting in my driveway for 7 months with cylinder 4 being collapse.
Dang that’s terrible
Awesome video, really is helping me out!.. But 1 thing I dont understand is the commennt when it says "After torquing the rockers, you must rotate the engine" can you plz explain what that means
I’ve been waiting for a new upload! I need to replace my serpentine belt here soon. What brand belt would you recommend ? Thanks again! Keep the videos coming !!
Thanks for your support if I have not said it. I recommend dayco or continental
You will love the next video I went behind another shop and it was a nightmare lol
Can’t wait ! And thank you for the reply about the belt!
@@ryanm4997 my pleasure buddy
Well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hello please i have 2017 cadilac esclade when i did job but pushrod 1 bandit
When I finish, everything is exactly the same when I bought 50 miles an hour I pushing the situation. The car shakes the crazy please. How can I fix it or what’s the problem?
This is not in topic Alex, But what’s the best way to align my camshaft sprockets on my 2008 3.5 Dodge Charger , I can’t seem to get everything to sit tightly while I tighten the tensioner
That’s something that’s better shown than told but try taking cardboard and wedging it between the belt and the metal surface to keep the belt from jumping off while you get the tensioner on hope that helps
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I Know Exactly What You MEAN ! I’m a visual learner I prefer , but will do first thing in the morning , thanks will keep you updated tomorrow morning !
@@23zaee please do
Is it possible to change the lifters without removing the engine from the truck?
Great video by the way, learned a lot from it.
Glad it was helpful!
In the middle of a build in the vehicle now 2016 Cadillac escalade.
Finished the build just want to thanks for the guidance to get this job done.
Nice work but why you did not delete DOD/ AFM system because whole system is doomed. How much would someone expect to pay for same job? Thanks
Hey buddy thanks for watching.I leave that to performance shops, I went back stock because of liability porpoises something can go wrong like a program issue, you may know this but you have to reprogram the engine computer when you do that.I like to keep stuff simple just in case something go wrong,people are nice long as stuff go there way lol. A job like that cost him almost 5k a used me engine just engine not labor cost between 6k to 9k smh.almost forgot I went back with better lifter it should last longer now
Thank you for your quick reply. Quality work, both mechanical and video. Appreciate it. I had the same job done in November 2021 and I have gonne with full dod delete where the ECU was reprogrammed all non dod parts were installed -Oem GM cam, lifters, headgaskets, etc. Mechanic did it with the block still in the car. I should last a while now. Good luck with everything.
@@bobgavric thanks again man. Yeah I agree do it that way I know I would if I own that engine
did you ever think you are allergic to cats? great work
I actually am lol but I just have allergies all around 🤧
Hey Car doctor I have a chicken sound in my 6.2 Escalade engine. I think it may be the lectures. Where are you located and how much would it cost to get that done if I buy the parts
I really like your work
I have a problem with a 12 cadillac escalade...giving me code 300 and 305. Now its doing just 300. Now i just have a 306
Question if I have a problem with a lifter can I still drive my truck n what happened if I don’t fix the problem
It will end up like this one and it will start smoking
Excellent work.
Thanks buddy
Great work!
How much should this job cost , I have cylinder misfire on # 1 lifters tapping
Hello, how are you, friend, I have the same situation, but when the car starts, nothing is heard, only if I accelerate it while parked, when I release the pedal, the revolution goes down, it starts to sound and turns on, I checked the engine, and when I ran about 2 miles again it doesn't sound anymore unless you go full throttle
It’s probably getting ready to fail but I’m not sure I will have to hear it for my self
Where are you located? And how much do you charge for this?
please let me know where u locate it i need work done on my cadillac i have a 07 escalade it needs a new piston and more done to it
Hey there buddy I’m located at 1850 Joy Lake road 30260
If engineers designed engine for 0w20 how come it only lasts around 100k miles? Older escalade on 5w30 last longer
Good work
Thanks
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
How much do you charge to change lifters on a 2015 Cadillac Escalade all of them
2007 Cadillac Escalade 6.2 liter it’s AFM or DOD
Nice work
My 2016 escalade esv is giving me a P0300 code, any advise please.
How much would it cost to do a job like this for a 2003 Chevy Suburban? And what new parts do you suggest we prepurchase from the dealership?
Hey there those old suburban don’t have those problems they are very reliable engines. What sound do you hear also can you send it to me on Instagram
Do you need to resurface the head or just clean it for reinstallation?
Just clean it up, you only Resurface it if the engine has overheated for the most part
@@AlexTheCarDoctor for the lifter trays there’s no torque spec?
@@2ss701 I’m pretty sure there is but it’s one of those parts that you can get away with out torquing it just be careful not to over tighten up it doesn’t take much to tighten it down. I will say about 15 inch pounds should do
Where should I get the lifter kit from??
Thank you for the video ❤
You're welcome 🍻
Are you supposed to prime the oil pump with vaseline or something? I have done it several times with vaseline never have any issues so far.
Yes I primed my method is disablebl the starting system and cranking over the engine several times
@@AlexTheCarDoctor oh that's another way to prime. Smart! Lol
@@sherrodford955 yeah been doing it that way for many years.I didn’t show everything this was just a follow along
@@AlexTheCarDoctor On Chevy's you can just depress the pedal all the way to the floor and crank it, it shuts off the fuel injectors as it enters "clear flooding" mode.
@@wally7856 yeah that’s the way I do it the computer will shut down the fuel injectors at about 80% throttle,that’s just not a Chevy thing that’s a wide variety of vehicles now these days
👍👌👏 . Nice video 👍
Thanks for watching buddy
Now why do customers want to keep their old stuff?
I mean to see the old parts? Or is it they got trust issues?
Hi Alex, this is Carlos. I have the same problem with my Escalade and it is a 2016 as well. I would like to contact you to see if you can fix it for me.
Hey there buddy I’ll be happy to take care of that for you.you can call my shop at 4704350015

For DIY people at home you can do a quick Google search on what you need. shops and professionals alike used programs like our alldata,Mitchell etc.
I have a question about replacing a 09 Escalade hybrid engine. Can I use my old hybrid system?
I think you should be able to. I’m not 100% sure. I haven’t had to the opportunity to replace a hybrid engine yet on a GM vehicle yet.
Hi do 2016 Cadillac Escalade have a EGR if yes where is the location
Thanks
No it doesn’t have an EGR,they don’t put EGR valve on the vvt engines that I’ve seen
🔥🔥💪🏾👨🏾🔧
Are the torque specs you shared the same on a 2012 escalade?
No it’s different that’s for the LTengines you have a LS type V8 port injection, not direct injection
Thanks for responding
@AlexTheCarDoctor Do you know where I could get the torque specs for my year escalade 2012. My mechanic ghosted me and I can't find the specs anywhere. Thanks
@@gregcook5995 reach out to me on instagram and I will send them to you Monday
Dude you're a baller for responding, I finally found the specs on the motor.

I have an engine problem how can I get in contact with you 11 escalade
Awesome!
Thank so much
Once fixed does the problem return?
I haven’t had any returns. I still service the ones I fix with oil changes etc. no problems at all
@@AlexTheCarDoctor Great!! What brand do you recommend over OEM?

Warranty time on this job is 21 hrs. GM is nuts and there robing all the techs blind. They wonder why they can’t find new kids to do this job.
No one wants to do this any more. Especially when something goes wrong. It’s not easy anymore. On top of that it’s a long way back to take out a new defective lifter that you just installed because GM makes junk parts.
My hat goes off to you, sir.
I hope your making enough money from RUclips. Keep in mind your giving away your hard earned skill that took years of blood and sweat learn to other people for free.

How is crank
That's like a 5k job or depends 3,500 or 5 k
That’s correct buddy a little under 5k

Can u do mine motor 2017
unbelievable your installing the DOD stuff
It’s ILLEGAL to delete the DOD in the state of Georgia. I will not put my business in jeopardy, much less film something like that for the world to see.
What why is it illegal man I'm taking it off my 5.3 when I get it
How do I contact you? I would like for you to fix my motor as well. 2017 Cadillac Escalade cylinder one misfire in ticking. Please give me your information I would love to do business with you I’m from Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Good luck finding parts
Found all the parts? Has there been a parts shortage on these that you’re aware of? Let me know!
@@AlexTheCarDoctorwhere can I find parts??
Is it worth keeping it after rebuilding it.
Could happen again!
Where are you located?
Did you delete the afm crap off of this when rebuilding?
I took my car to local cadillac they replaced front struts and didnt even put back the harnesh in place so its dangling by the tire seriously. So bad job not taking pride in what you do.
Can u do mine motor
Alex what City you are
Morrow, Georgia
How much money this cost to customer again $$$$
You didn't delete the dod when you had the motor pulled thats crazy
That is illegal. And if I did, I certainly wouldn’t film me doing that. Ever heard of what happened to the Diesel Brothers?
plan on visiting ohio anytime soon? lol. you could make a killing just because you post videos of the repair. i have a 2016 ss with the same issue collapsed dod lifter, cyl 6 and they wanna charge a bro 6k to repair at chevy, actin like they aint sellin fucked up cars. i bought this thing is may 2021 and in march the damn ticking sound started. had i known about any of this i woulda just did a dod delete kit myself at the time of purchase when i had all that extra money. GM / chevy and anyone selling these cars are straight up crooks. they have done everything under the sun to try to blame me trying to act like i lapsed on oil changed when i didnt. buncha shady ppl in the auto business. good to see there are a few good ppl left. GL GB. i hope y'all make all the $ fuck these shady dealership shops.
No time soon bro. I call the dealership the stealership they are all way trying to get the consumer. GM has really drop the ball with these new V8s I prefer a good old LS non- DOD they will last over 500,000 miles with no problem

You can’t change the oil in these enough. vlom gets clogged and starves lifters of oil.
