Dealer has a low mileage engine from a 2000 seville, why am I being told that it would be too much trouble and money to make it fit my '99 Deville?

This is a variation on my earlier thread - just curious to know if any of you have successfully carried your Cadillacs well past the 100,000 mark. I realize it takes some investment; just wondering how often it actually happens.

Replying to: sub2500 (Sep 01, 2006 8:41 am) I would think, at a minimum, the 'computer' of a 1999 would not support a 2000 motor - with different sensors, and associated wiring differences, being possible. It might be possible to make this change. Your dealer probably doesn't want to get into such a job, one which is not covered in any service manual and might have multiple incompatibities which would not be obvious. And impossible to develop an accuracy cost estimate for the job. So, why attempt it. The mechanics in the shop probably have plenty of other work rather than taking on a 'hot-rod' type of motor swap. |

I have since given the car to my son and helping to locate an engine. I'm wondering if anyone out there knows if a newer year engine can go in to replace the '97 engine, and if so, does anything on the engine need to be changed to '97 |

Hi, I posted a few weekes ago about blowing map sensors on my 94 concourse deville, it seems that I just keep replacing the things and they keep burning out. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? Mike |

Replying to: mark_wny (Sep 01, 2006 9:47 am) is still running. My 96 Deville had 110k miles but needed those $2500 front electric struts replaced which were a dealer only item at the time. So it went bye-bye.......... My 03 has been troublefree and now has 41k miles ! No problems doing 100k miles here !!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: deltacadillac (Sep 09, 2006 10:07 pm) Standing in FRONT of the car, #1 cylinder on the distributor cap is at the 2 O'Clock position and #8 is at 3 o'clock. Timing marks are just over the pulley on a little tab and read 0 5 10, with 0 at the bottom and 10 at the top. Plug gap is .35, point gap is .16, dwell angle is 30, ignition time at idle is 5 degrees BTDC, valves are hydraulic and not adjustable, plug type is AC # 44

I have a 2000 DHS with 52,000 miles. Six weeks ago my "check oil level" light came on - I checked, was low. That was the first time I ever had to add oil between oil changes. today - check oil level came on again, I checked; again, had to add oil. I have no leaks, checked parking space at work, no drips, and I have the garage floor covered in brown paper under the engine to easily be able to check for any leaks, no drips. I have also had to add coolant twice in the past 6 weeks, not a lot, but enough for the "check" light to come on. The car has never run hot, never over-heated, and is immaculate under the hood. Before I take it into the shop, can anyone tell me what they think my problem might be? I don't trust my dealer, as I have had "issues" with them in the past over repairs (like an $800 break job, for which they only replaced the front breaks, not the back - which they did not tell me until the job was complete and I was trying to get my car- just one of several horror stories with Sewell). I would appreciate any suggestions, just so I don't get taken to the bank again. THANKS!
