I Bought an “As-Is” Cadillac Escalade and got $10,000 off because the Dealer Couldn’t Fix It

1. Hey Sam didn’t you buy a black one last month?

2. You need Ivan from pine hollow diagnostics he is number one when it comes to diagnosing anything with a vehicle get a plane ticket ready from Pennsylvania lol he would die before he couldn't fix anything

3. Could those boxes be swapped?

4. The Escalade sounds like it may be an easy fix, with some time put into it.
   Some of the wiring looks seems a little loose, or unclipped? Might’ve had a few people “playing around” with different systems,trying to work it out.
   I reckon you’re well and truly on the right road mate!!
   Good luck with the project.

5. another lol

6. Our dealer would of fixed that lol.

7. Put vinegar on the board to stop the corrosion, then clean with IPA, and after that use PCB lacquer. It will make the module waterproof.

8. I think you should bring step mom to help im sure she can handle it

9. I had the same issues. These sensors need to be in their right spot then do blind sight readjustment with obd scanner.

10. alex at legit street cars fixes the cars in the same video after he shows what's wrong with them. just sayin'

11. Let’s repair it with epoxy. What is you eBay username?

12. Sam and his Honey 😁

13. Yeah, scummy dealer is like "the sensors don't work for some reason, so as is".

14. Omg…….you got a lift……………happy for you and your back

15. wow it's got a second row bench seat 90% of escalades stupid caption chairs. nice project vehicle.

16. I hope the car will be up and running soon

17. If they painted it on the car and got over spray on the black cladding then it was not a good job at all

18. Wicked SMOOTH transition to the leather conditioner promo! Props!😏

19. I'm guessing that car has been waterlogged for a very short matter of time since there's been a lot of flooding throughout the year

20. Shit in a can describes it.

21. Grab a can of some CRC electronic cleaner or even MAF cleaner is basically the same. It can literally fix all that water on that chip as long as nothings fried but if it has a short from the water it will completely clean it and dry the water up.

22. I have drooled over those Escalades, but this vid really put me off of them. Altogether too many bells & whistles!

23. fascinating

24. You have stepped up.

25. Süper 🏹💯💥💯.

26. I'm gonna guess that it all gets sorted out for under $1500

27. Swap the modules.

28. Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics. Call Ivan .

29. At 15:50 it looks like the the front of the frame rail is broken. I only see it for half a second and don't know Cadillac SUVs too well so I could be mistaken, but that looks like more than a light collision if it's cracked like that.

30. This is a job for Pine hollow Auto diagnostics 😀

31. Also check all ground straps for corrosion and ware ! Front and rear strapes should be replaced .

32. Typical American built garbage

33. Sam! A good old classic samcrac video. No shenanigans… just a dude trying to make a buck with average car repair skills. That’s what grew your channel. I hope it’s here to stay!

34. you are terrible at buying cars LOL

35. That grill is not correct year for your Escalade. Your escalade is 2015 by look of cadillac logo on steering wheel and graphics on cluster. it has old Cadillac logo with crest around it-first model of this escalade generation year 2015. then Cadillac in middle of 2015 changed logo on escalade and added8 speed transmission, they changed logos on whole truck and called it 2015i . Your grill is from newer style escalade so it is from 2015i, maybe 2016, 2017. People on Cadillac forum wanted to upgrade their grills to new Cadillac logo, grill plastics and metal are same and mount same places BUT radar, camera and calibration of electronics are not same, they do not mount at same place-height and people had problem where system was not working because cameras and radar were not calibrated- they could not be calibrated because of different mounting + height where they mounted.

    So basically someone slapped newer style front bumper + grill and they tried messing around with electronics thinking its all same and they just got fed up and left it as is to get wet. So there is your problem with cruise, radar, and parking sensor warnings.

    Steering wheel buttons not working there was probably air bag deployment and messed up clock spring, air bag got replaced, srs ecu reset or resistor trick in steering wheel and it all looks to be there.

36. So rusty…. shame on GM

37. Do the bushings go on the inside?

38. I used leather honey once. Never again!!!

39. Sounds like some other module is broken

40. This guy crackd me up. I cannot wait to see what he gets into next.

41. I saved a gauge cluster on an 84 corvette doing the same thing with CLR and it worked without issue

42. Legitstreetcars fixed his flooded bmw modules…just saying 😂😂

43. Many vehicles require aiming of the radar sensors

44. What happened to the pizza car?

45. I say if you can get the parts at a reasonable cost then fix the caddy up.
