THIS CAR BRINGS BACK MEMORIES! Of laying under my grannies '80 Cadillac Deville in a blizzard putting a starter in for the 900th time cause the threads were stretched and damn starter would fall out. Worst GM diesel ever! And yeah I've had em all! Lol

thx for the journey guys !

were any other modifications needed to fit 32"s besides the 2in lift?

I got 24.45 seconds on second run!! Slow for sure but I was suprised it was as quiet as it was. I know Caddy put more sound insulation but definetly a cruiser once up to speed!!

believe it or not, there was an imported from Germany commander CRD for sale a couple years ago in Saskatchewan, wish I had 10k sitting around for it cause it sold very quick

One of the most competent 4 wheel drive systems ever made...Quadra-Drive II

Leave the poor old girl alone...its too cold😂

A car worth saving

Um, gelled up fuel? Did it not have winter diesel in it? I get it that minus 20 is seriously cold (for an European like me) but I suppose in Canada you also get winter diesel at the pump in cold weather, like us here? (Netherlands) Nice car btw!

Did you get the rest of this thing squared away?

Yeah, you're in the woods on a 4x4 trail and having a great time!! That's exactly where you are! And I wish I could be there too man😂

Great memories. I miss my childhood

ah the sound of a bullfrog in heat.

something is wrong with quadra drive you have, it doesnt lock diffs, or you never in low?

I'm picking up a 2008 JGC monday with the 3.0l...in Toronto

Edison was such a crook

All it's missing now is a set of 20" rims❤

First thought..the video is 1:18 long. I hope that is not the 0-60 time

Fuel pump is a common weakness on this era of Bergs. Pretty easy fix.

Haha, that's pretty slow but it would be much peppier with a 4 or 5 speed manual. It's not as bad as I thought anyway. Must be damn nice to drive anyhow! Hey if I could I would chuck in an ZF8 auto for shits and giggles and see how much it improves driveability and acceleration. :D I'm pretty sure this engine will run on anything liquid, greasy and flammable you feed it? :)

Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :) Love that car! Compared to what we drove here in 1982 (Poland, behind the iron curtain back then) it's a true land yacht.

It wasn't meant to go fast but for a very pleasant ride.

Interior reminds me of my 1980 coupe deville. Peanut butter leather interior with an off white/ cream paint job.

Great video, I am planning to do the opposite and replace my 3.7 with the hemi. I believe you can really give me some insight to my swap. Did you have to replace the BCM, TIPM or any other modules? Thanks

Some 2009/2010 bikes also had fuel pump issues. I had mine fail 3 months after buying it brand new but fortunately got it changed by the dealer. That was 13 years and almost 500 hrs ago and been fine since.

nice video bro. love the rig. I have wh or in US/Canada wk1 with the 3.0 diesel. love that engine. enjoy the crd!

I have a Allroad to but in new Zealand that car can tackle the harsh of terrains shot heaps of deer with her love Allroad

Buena conversión felicidades.

I just love this smoke must have smell sooooooo good

Please remove completely the annoying background music and your vid will be perfect.

What kind of final gear ratio do you have on your XK? I know WK 3.0 CRD have 3.55 in Laredo and 3.73 in Liminted or North(towing package). I found 3.73 trasmission feels like have diabled sprag on OD( AKA tow mode all the time), while 3.55 trasmission feels like coasting all the time, and there is significant differnce in fuel economy too. Anyway, great project, i might want to do one next year!

What kinds of faults in the diesel electronics would command illumination of the SERVICE NOW or SERVICE SOON tell-tales ?

All the time and money you spent doing that negated any fuel saving you will ever get. Wasted energies.

Even the speedometer can hardly make it all shaken.

Would you sell this? lol

You should still learn a lot how to drive on off road.

The slowness was worth it for the extra MPGs. The 4.1L V8 gas engine was originally rated at 14 city 19 highway 16 combined average. The 5.7 V8 diesel was originally rated at 23 city 37 highway 27 combined average. I'd like to hear from someone who actually owns the diesel if that rating is accurate though. I'm sure it gets much better fuel mileage than the gas engine but 37mph highway seems pretty high. If it really got that much I'd find one and daily drive it!

I always liked the late 70s-80s GM Diesels. It's too bad they had so many problems at the start which gave them a bad reputation. A big old land yacht that could get 30mpg!

fun test. I noticed that it’s most comfortable to drive on light off-road conditions at level 2 or 3; the suspension handles especially softly in any wet mud. and grips better without falling off the top of the track. It’s also interesting that the height of the 60 tires also fits into the arch. I thought that no more than the standard 225 55 is suitable. You have interesting videos from off-road, I didn’t think that Allroad was capable of this

I love these GM diesels and the body styles from back then I think they’re great cars. I owned about five different ones a couple of three old mobiles couple of Chevrolet never a Cadillac but didn’t have any problems with my diesels.

I like that Cadillac with the things so I think I have never had one with to do so before but I like that one I wish I had one

What would happen if you disconnected the sway bars.

Whenever I think my '82 Firebird 305 auto is slow, I remember there's cars like this, and then there's cars that are somehow even slower

0-60 with an Olds Diesel!!!!!!?????? I'm very surprised that it could reach 60 MPH to begin with!!!!!

All I can hear is 'The French Narrator' from 'Spongebob' going 'Eventually.....' from Rock-A-Bye Bivalve.

Seems like it's quite quiet inside the cabin.

Sounds awful.

Great video but I'm confused by you saying its blue plated i.e. street legal, but you had to add signal lights, so was yours the FE 570 S or the plain FE 570 (no 'S')? In Canada I'd have thought they come with signal lights from factory, or at least wired to install their lights kit, but you had to install your own wiring. Maybe yours came with the same rear 'signal lights' mine has, which really isn't a pair of lights at all but a tail/brake light that blinks on the left or right side of the single light, which I'd think shouldn't even be legal since how can someone behind tell which side is blinking? It's light weight and nothing to get ripped off but I may have to add separate signal lights which may be to do what you did. I was hoping I could just tie into the same wiring for the stock signal light in that 'one light does all' one but maybe you found that was impossible and it required separate wiring to be installed.
