I would rather have a Yugo than that Escalade.

Unlike the part-time New Venture Tcases found in other GMT800 models......Yours has a Borg Warner 4481, Don't think I've ever replaced one!!!! The only caveat is.....It relies on the Stabilitrak to operate correctly! Not to be confused with the NV149 AWD Viscous Tcase used on the earlier Escalade & all AWD Silverado SS models.
*Change the Front Diff fluid & make sure the front diff vent is intact......Most likely needs replacement as the rubber hose dry rots.
*The PS Fluid needs a more aggressive change schedule as the Hydroboost cooks the fluid. Royal Purple EZ Steer PS fluid or Mobil Delvac 1 ATF is what I like to run.
*The age alone would dictate the Fan Clutch nearing the end of it's life. A GMT800 2500HD clutch is a direct swap.
Looks like you have a pretty clean example, As Escalades go......'03-'06 are the most reliable/rugged!

What's the point of posting this?
Just another "Troll" Cline. So many on here lately I smell another "Troll Movie" coming out soon and im not talking about a kids cartoon movie
Dave
AWESOME thanks Cline for the info and tips. Ya I had 2qts of this saved for PW steering fluid change that I was planning to do this weekend anways as preventative. But if no on the Lucas then no problem. I got a "Auto zone" manager hook up and can get the M1 ATF for under $7 a qt lol
Just dont want same issue I had with my hydraboost in my ;01 1500HD !! It was torturing the crap outta my PW pump to death. Few weeks ago I Got a offer on it for $6K and SOLD !!!! Then I got that slow mo '08 4.8 truck lol

Good point on Craigslist, Craigslist is dead. Was told months ago to use Facebook marketplace by a friend...he was 100% right. No scaming, much easier, much more traffic, no commission or cost. You can easily communicate with people. It’s great.
That interior is an embarrassment for a Cadillac.
Nice find! Looks extremely well maintained both in and out.
Yes, when it was the Honda Civic.
Both were and the Honda Accord for a long time
Now its anything with a LSX/LT engine GM wise
In Dallas Im hearing a lot of the older F250/F350 are getting stolen
Dave

That made me think of that commercial,"Could you please pass the jelly?" Haha!Then please pass the Grey poupon
Dave
YES !! It was my ONLY reason for asking the title
Misson accomplished
Ya I agree 100% !! I don't do any of that aftermarket junk.
The 17" chrome factory Wheels are MINT !! But last weekend I picked up some 20" chevy wheels that I want to put on once I find some good tires for them
No choice since 20-22" Escalade wheels/tires are atleast a "G" in dallas area
Dave
If you have play in the steering wheel, check out the steering shaft as most of the time that's what gives you the play. Not sure how GM is configured, but Ford and Chrysler can have issues at the telescoping section that wears and causes play.LOL, So I get a Escalade and you think I'm hiding something about my Suburban ??
Very simple as I explained. I chose to keep it as a delivery only vehicle for my car part business toss a bunch of amazon boxes and car parts in it dont care if it gets dinged up or trashed inside cause its a 20 year old/300K mile WORK TRUCK
My Cadillac is gonna be the "keep it clean" and nice, NO pets, No "eating inside" road trip, Drive to a nice restaurant family hauler. That's all
Dave
A 16 year old vehicle does not make you a snob or cool -- get over yourself ALREADY!!!!
Neither is a Suburban that needs work with 300,000 miles on it a score either......(as one of his previous posts).
