- My $1200 Cadillac Escalade needs lots of work! In this video I'll show you how to inspect your brakes, how to install brake calipers and rotors, and how to bleed brake systems. My Escalade has almost 500,000 miles so it really needs help!

I think you should save it, that car deserves to be your towing vehicle. I don't know the towing capabilities of this Caddy, but I think it'll be enough for you. Keep up the great content!
They tow great
Big Al's bike and auto uses one to tow and it does fine
Mike I think it's a keeper would love to keep seeing it. It'll be a lot of work but I don't think the parts you are looking at will cost you much. That seems to be a base model so you don't have to worry about fancy electronics things.
After being washed, she looks great for her age and high mileage. She's definitely worth the $475👍
$475 👀 sheesh 🔥💯
It is definitely worth your time that is one of the most reliable vehicles you could possibly have and again the fact that it made it that far and it's still running and driving good proves that
I wouldn’t spend $4.00 on that thing!
@@parkerhulsey8219 good thing it's not yours😉
Mike is now truly an OG in this escalade 😎
Do not throw away the caliper that you removed,it is good. It was leaking because the piston had traveled past the seal.
Keep going on the Escalade! It’s a gem in the rough. 475k on the 6.0 is amazing
You know it’s a keeper when he brings it out front of his house
This classic SUV shape is timeless
I'm in the dealer auction business, never seen a Escalade over 300k miles, but we did have a charity donation run and drive 2004 c-class Mercedes with 900k on it a couple years ago. That's the rarest junkyard unicorn I've come across.
Just a thought Mike take the pinstriping off it takes the vehicle it look better without the pinstriping and if the engine is running well for the few times you will be towing it'll serve your needs
mike i'm really enjoying this rehab. the milage is mind blowing. yes i think its worth the parts and time . its not terrible just extremely dirty . that head liner and seats are just awful. im sure there is lots of parts available in the old pick apart yards. let us know how many viewers your getting on this one? cheers my friend. Lola looks great with hair cut im sure she is much cooler.
Mike this would be an amazing transformation series. You don’t have much into it so I would go for it.
Mike, the Caddy looks to have three stage paint and the fender you got is a regular two stage white. See if a junk yard has a fender with pearl white - may be a much better paint match. Definitely put the work into it. It's a "diamonmd" in the fuff! lol. With replacement seats and headliner, you'll have a nice tow rig that will last you a while.
The power wash really cleaned it up 😀🤘🏽🔥
It's actually in pretty nice shape for that many miles. Go get some more suspension parts and bushings from the junkyard, and it will slowly be revived, you might even be able to access a new headliner too! I almost forgot about those seats, you could probably find a couple of those also!
I think that if in total you are spending less than $3K for a good running Cadi.. you are lucky. I would take it right away. I do only 4,000 miles/year.. this would be amazing. Enjoy it.. maybe you go from Benz to a Cadi lover.. nothing wrong with that. The interior needs attention, I agree. But it's still a very nice truck. She deserves an extended life.
Have you checked to see if the VIN on the engine matches the VIN on the rest of the truck. Maybe the engine was rebuilt or switch out and there is less miles on the engine. Good luck.
The old Cadillac Escalade looking kind of good after you clean it up then 6.0 vortec V8 are the truth nice 💯💯
Keep the rotor!!! That is amazing wall art for the garage.
I really do like this escalade i think some new seats from the junkyard would make a huge difference a real good bit of TLC with parts from the junkyard i think you can turn this around for very little money because it isn't a bad looking vehicle loving the content can't wait for vids on the other purchases love to lola beema and benzo 26:35
I have the same Escalade with the 6.0 engine I bought in 2020 for 1500 bucks. Rides like an old truck and needs some love but whenever I take her out she never fails to make me smile.
Definitely revive this old gem. As long as the engine and trans are good then the rest shouldn’t take much. They don’t make them like they used to.
Good morning Mike. Good to see you. I guess once you replace that then you should have brakes.😊👍
Like I said before you still have a great view from your backyard 👍
Well, depends on what you're asking for if you wantna get rid of it, you don't want it, I'd be interested in it
Mike, I am enjoying your content. Came over here from Randy's channel. I would fix that escalade all day long, especially if you enjoy tinkering with them as a hobby. I do the same myself. I rebuild old golf carts as a hobby. Parts are extremely cheap for that vehicle. I say go for it. It does look good except the inside 👍👍
And he could do a junkyard interior swap, especially the headliner. He did mention in the previous video that he knows where to source some seats.
Love the Escalade Mike!! And love high mileage cars. They scare most people away, but with your skills, I bet you can keep it running for cheap! Definitely great content, but you gotta use the clickbait; “500,000 mile Escalade!!”
Was just sat here thinking where the MWM video for the weekend!! Thanks Mike!!
Mike rims look good just refinish them! Keep up the great work your almost at 50000 !
do not give up mike that is a very good engine it just needs love
Looking good that person you bought it from might buy it back when they see it .
Yea restore it get use factory wheels and get used interior headliner etc would be a nice rebuild would love to watch that
I would look at this way. You’re half way to having the world’s only million mile Cadillac Escalade. Definitely worth keeping just for the challenge of achieving that goal.🤗
Wow Mike kool caddy never seen anyone rebuild one bring her back
To life
After you fix the mechanical needs for the Escalade, then a new headliner and other misc. Nice Escalade.
It’s almost always a O2 sensor when doing a diagnostic check on any used car
I'll say it again: this is worth saving. I'd be interested if you don't want it. You'll love driving it and towing with it, and you'll adore it once you get that interior fixed up.
As long as the motor and transmission are good I think that you can make some good content their!!!
It needs to be loved and brought back to life. Keep up the great work.
Nice Mike,love your videos.
One of the best chassis GM have ever built if not the best chassis they have built I have an '05 Escalade I'm the 2nd owner with 177,000 mi and it runs like a top. I may never get rid of it it's been very reliable. Mine seem to be rare I have the 6.0 two-wheel drive non- g80 open differential.
That brake rotor was amazing in 2 ways 1 that you didn't see it first off I mean you even touched it 😅 and 2 the sheer determination of the previous owner to ignore the noise and keep going for a long long time. I have seen it before though.
I think you should keep for a tow vehicle you deserve it am so proud of u mike good job
I believe you have a great tow pig. The 6.0 liter is one of the best LS engines and the tow capability of the Escalade is undeniably strong enough to do what you need it to do
The Escalade is looking good. It runs good and stops now. I kinda like the rims and wouldn’t spend much more $$ on cosmetics. Just tackle the interior. Clean it up and do something with the torn up seats.
I still think it's a good deal! You're getting close to having a good daily!
Keep that Escalade Mikey. Do just like you are doing. Find parts in a salvage yard, if you can. Do it on the cheap. Those are good rigs. Beats the Hell out of a truck payment!
You are doing a wonderful job with this project ! Just keep getting more used parts to keep your expenses low and see how far you can go with it !!!❤👍💯
Posted 2 days ago 30,400+ views I think that says it all, you should keep going. 👍
Keep the Caddy Mike. I love watches no you bring them back to life on a budget
GM actually did have 4-wheel steering, back in the day. From 2003 - 2005 GM had 4-wheel steering called Quadrasteer. Oddly enough though, it was only optioned in the full-size GM pickups, the Chevy Suburban, and the GMC Yukon XL.
Nice! Thanks for the info!
I think you should fix it up to a safe point. Parts are everywhere and cheap for those Tahoe,suburban, caddy all the same truck. Those miles wouldn't really scare me on that motor. 6.0 no dod fuel management crap. She will be good to go for a while. Since the trans is rebuilt id say fix her up. Great content .
Hey Mike! Those rotors that were in the back looks like it’s for the rears
That’s what I was thinking to
It’s a miracle this thing made it that many miles. Those brakes are so neglected. Those pads! My god!
My Chevy HHR has 291000 miles and still going it's 2009 everything works also I think do a fluid change button it up test tow and if it works then there you go tow rig yes love it love it love it
The brakes “moved to a new neighborhood”. LOL. Love the channel Mike!
Nice Job Mike!!! I've never seen a rotor that bad, lol what a mess!!!
I do love an Escalade it’s worth your time looks great clean
New Master cylinder...bleed all four corners in proper sequence and boom fixed
that is a sharp looking Caddy. the pearl paint really works and with the new seats and interior cleanup will be fantastic.🤙🏽
Definitely keep the caddy they are great trucks
Early 2000 Chevy pickups with the 5.3 I have seen over 400,000 miles on it seems like the ls engines run for ever with good maintenance
I like your idea, spend the 475 on it as a challenge. The 500 challenge! If you cam get it drive-able for 500 bucks , you have to keep it, if not it has to go. LOL Anyway, great video, Mike.
Looks beautiful with the wash Mike You 2 look awesome ! I think there's hope for her.Lola and the duckies look so cute. I see Lola jumped in her co pilot seat quick when you told her to get in .😊😊Great job Mike looking forward to how you revive her.
I love that dog!! zoomies in middle of break test hahahaha
She's a beauty, Excellent find!!!
I love your Caddy and making it safe and sound is a good start. Keep it up. 😀✌❤
She’s looking good. Fix her up. It will be a great tow vehicle. Love your channel. Thanks for all your hard work.
YES!!! Tuned in 4 something else & like a siren, Ursula the Escalade called me!
Replace the rubber brake lines, they can cause caliper issues and well they are old🤣. But you knew that, just a reminder. Probably lots of parts from Suburban/Denali's too, cheap sourcing . Keep going Mike ! Hug Lola 🙂
😁 LOL!!! I did that to a Disc Brake in the 80's when I was broke and could not repair it to get to work. Thankfully it was a Solid Disc and I wore through the Brake Pad and through the Piston until the Brake Fluid escaped losing all Brakes apart from the Emergency Brake which got me through for another week or so until I could buy the required parts. The Disc was worn down to around a 1/4" at its thinnest section.
Love to see if you can bring this neglected old bus back to life; but get the Merc and BMW finished first please.
Love to Lola and the ducks.
the caddy deserves to be brought back to a serviceable state. everything it needs is doable on the cheap and just elbow grease. I really want to see you swap out the seats or reupholster them and clean up the grime. the suspension is not that expensive either.
Fun to watch, nice that you are gaining skill sets to handle these situations. Get it road ready and have fun with it. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Looking beautiful, great content, keep it going Mikey
Nice Escalade looks really good for that many miles looks like no rust lol have a good day
Good luck Mike you an loyal have a great week end buddy
I’d buy it tomorrow no problem
.
Awesome show Thanks
Keep going it's great content made a big difference already
I’m having so much fun with my new E320. You have answered a lot of my questions I’m getting her there slowly thanks to your awesome advice and videos
Glad to help!
Nice work truck and stylish ✅
Rebuild it !! It will be FUN to watch and enjoy.
After being washed, she looks great Nice Work Sir Loved it Love all your channel Sir
The rotor that did not fit is for the Back. It had the parking brake hub.
Oh my, good luck 😀
Looking good.
Yes bring it back to life❤
You have fixed it Mike 👍
Really beautiful escalade. I am sure you can find new seats and a headliner. Once all the bushings are changed it will drive like new.
Very nice Cady. I like so much.
The sensible part of me says run and the, I love a challenge, part of me wants to see you get it back on the road without spending a lot of money and use it for years. Looks like you will know every parts vehicle in every parts yard for miles around. As always a video most of us watching can relate to. Thank you.
I think she’s worth it and looks amazing. I can’t wait to see what you do with the interior
That looks lovely with those wheels good clean up that could be a nice motor again.
Stock wheels would look so much better but no idea what thats worth in that condition. Very entertaining vid though!
You did a great job!
I think it will be a great contant vehicle for you. It reminded me of my old 2002 Grand Cherokee very luxurious very comfortable as well as functional!!! I also believe that it should be easier for you to find parts then a lot of other vehicles.
I cannot wait for the new videos!!!!!
I love it, once you fix it, you’re going to fall in love with it
Mike this is going to be a awesome series .
i like that generation of escalade those vehicles keep going i got 2003 chevy tahoe.
This is what makes your channel awesome. You do the 'everyday person' vehicle. You dont do ferrari and maserati etc. You do cars that the average person can enjoy. Keep doing what you do, awesome content~ Still gonna beg you to go back to that 190e mercedes though!!!!! But to answer the question, 100% keep going with this. Some 'newer' front seats, headliner and tlc, and you will have a beautiful tow vehicle!
I appreciate that!
