#182 of 223 Re: 2005 ext with apparent oil pressure problems [cjordie] by cjordie Jul 29, 2008 (7:39 pm)
Replying to: cjordie (Jul 28, 2008 5:29 pm) I am about to pull out my hair:::: the dealer called today and stated that they have not found the cause at this point and have been advised to tear down the engine. I don't know how to feel at this point. The dealer keeps ensuring me that they will find the problem and then laughed and said look at things on the other side....if the motor has a problem and they can not find it once it is taken apart, then cadillac will be sending a new motor and at least i will be the only driver on that motor.   I am so frustrated:( Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 30, 2008 10:22 am) cjordie (Jul 30, 2008 6:47 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 31, 2008 9:54 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: cjordie (Jul 29, 2008 7:39 pm) So they are saying they checked the oil pressure with an analog gauge and it's good and they want to tear down the engine anyway?   Makes no sense.   Let's be rational here: either it's actual low oil pressure in the engine or it's an electrical/gauge issue. One or the other. Either the reading is "true" or it is false.   If true, tear down engine   If false, tear apart gauge system Replies to this message: cjordie (Jul 30, 2008 6:47 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 31, 2008 9:54 am) vajohn (Aug 01, 2008 7:45 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 30, 2008 10:22 am) Yes Sir, thats what they said alright, they started tearing it down yesterday. It appears that after they checked all of these things the problem was still occurring and they could not find the root, so they are tearing down the motor. When they put the new motor in( and i am sure they will since I really don't beleive they will find anything) and the oil light comes on, maybe then some one will listen and go back to the gauge as the cause. I suggested it 3 times and was told, "oh i pretty certain that is not " I really wish you could call them and talk some sense into somebody!

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 31, 2008 9:54 am) Absolutely amazing. Well, at least you get a new engine. The dealer gets a lot of $ and GM gets screwed. And afterward, you'll get a new gage cluster too.
#187 of 223 Re: 2008 Escalade ESV - Any Experience [highpoint7] by jaescaddy Aug 25, 2008 (11:24 am)
Replying to: highpoint7 (Oct 20, 2007 4:32 am) I got a 2008 Escalade ESV with Direct TV antenna on top 22" rims and custom 14" flipdown monitor in the middle instead of the OEM one.....so far only problem i had was with my gas gauge going up and down for 1 week (such a headache) until dealer replaced fuse which was backordered.
#188 of 223 Maybe an abs issue? by sonnyb1979 Oct 07, 2008 (11:29 pm)
I have a 2002 escalade on 24x10 rims. Recently all of a sudden after a car wash I noticed that every time I stopped, the car felt like the abs was kicking in. The next day I took it to the dealer and they said it was a valve and some $1500 module. However now the stability system and abs light are off but it still feels like the abs kicks on. But now there is no codes or abs lights or any indication anything is wrong. Please help, email is sonnyboy1979yahoo.com
#189 of 223 Re: 2003 Escalade will not start. Fuse Problem? [madacar] by lander14 Oct 20, 2008 (5:41 pm)
Replying to: madacar (Mar 29, 2008 7:13 am) Hi -- I am having the exact same starting issue with my 2003. I replaced the battery and ignition switch but the problem is still there. Curious if the Steering Senor did the trick for you. I have also read it may be the crank sensor. Any insight is much appreciated.   Nate
#190 of 223 fuel pump? fuel pump relay? Help PLEASE! by abrat1999 Dec 22, 2008 (4:50 pm)
Hi, I have a 2000 escalade, and it is having problems starting. The engine will crank but not start unless you spray the air filter with starting fluid. Today, I went to try it again and, the battery was "dead" (its only 2 wks old, and all the lights and dings worked fine, just clicked when I turned the key). We tried to jump it and after 15 minutes of being hooked up, it tried cranking again, but still wouldn't start. it sounds like the fuel pump is kicking on, but I can't be sure. I can't even get the damn thing started to take it to a mechanic! can someone please give me an idea of anything else it could be? so far, all I've gathered is that it could be the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay. I know this doesn't mean much, but the fuel pump was replaced about 2 or 3 yrs ago.   thanks so much. amanda
#191 of 223 the post i left last week....#190 by abrat1999 Dec 28, 2008 (3:24 pm)
Hey everyone....well, I got the fuel pump changed (and the battery since cranking the engine was killing the previous one) and my escalade runs again! My check engine light is still on though...taking it to auto zone this week and see what thats about. thinking it may have thrown a code when the previous battery was weakened.   anyway, if anyone is having problems with their escalade doing the same as mine (see post 190) I reccommend starting in the fuel system....
