Cadillac man! Love it 😊 Seems like electrics have been put on hold for now. The country wasn’t ready for them, and the technology wasn’t ready either! I’m sure we’ll have ICE cars around for awhile yet. Enjoy!

Its a beautiful car and the engineered design made me so impressed with Cadillac. But that dealership experience was def not a good one. Ultimately the rear diff never got resolved and I liked the car so much that I decided to put a new beefier Camaro rear diff in it (was going to spend about $2k on parts) my wife said “just go get your truck”. We were tired of dealing with it so I traded it.

The original handlebars are one piece with the rigid forks. Right here 👍 www.gopowersports.com/handlebar-front-forks-coleman-ct100u/

I am a huge fan of my RAM 1500. I’ve had to replace the front sway bar bushings (cheap and easy), the 12 volt battery, and flush casting sand out of the coolant system. But it still puts a huge smile on my face when I drive it. I follow all of the truck brand Facebook groups. The RAM is still less problematic than the others, even with its known issues. Here are the top 10 common issues with the hemi ram 1500 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJDcdmWgiqZ6pa8si=Xsc3IEKMn-j92GA5

It’s such a perfect solution for that, sadly they quit making this unit and I don’t see anything like it on the market.

I did! I ended up replacing it :)

Appreciate the feedback and the encouraging words 🙏 I’m sure your project will be a success!

I don’t have the bike right now because it belongs to my pastor but if it comes back into my shop, I’m sure it will need another tweak or two :)

Yes it could but most likely transmission. Keep in mind the motor mounts are vacuum. You’d toss a lean error if you had a bad motor mount 👍

It’s an amazing bike. So comfy and quick! Made me smile a lot 😎😁 Enjoy!

Yes as long as you're under the bumper to bumper. Its a wear item. But be aware, they'll replace the junk oem bushings with the same junk bushings. You'll be back in this same clunky situation soon enough. The poly is a much better solution and they're cheap and its an easy job (for most).

@@sstressfl thanks for the reply!

Happy new year 👍🙏

I have a whole playlist dedicated the the ATS. Eventually after more rear diff fails, I traded it for a new truck.

You don’t need to remove wheels but you need to take the weight off the suspension. It needs to be lifted up, both sides 👍

I’ll check into it 😁 I’ve never had them off before!

@sstressfl i would be thankfull cause i cant remember how those both wings go on each side. Thank you

I’m on the road right now but will be homemaker this afternoon. Will get you screenshot of the manual.

@@-soundmcgee-2002 I took 5 pics of 5 pages in the back of the service manual showing the rear panel assemblies and posted them to google drive. I hope this helps! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-284c75fGj0Q-fkhC3A4Pg0qrPCa5ubt?usp=drive_link

@@sstressfl thank you a lot, but still does not explain how those both wings mount on with main fairing 😬

Can you use a smaller washer? Or use a bench grinder to shrink the diameter of the washer so it doesn’t grab?

See 7:04 👍

@sstressfl I did 👍

Yes and no. You need to relieve the pressure/weight on the sway bar. So you need jack up the entire front end so the suspension hangs loose. Wheel removal is optional 👍

Shockingly easy! lol The engineers really nailed it. Thanks man 🙏

Thank you brother 🙏 God is good 🙏

1) Sadly I did not continue test riding. Other priorities followed by a neck injury :( and 2) yes but my neck is still healing and I have 3 kids rapidly approaching college. Hard to justify the expense. But I still can’t stop looking at marketplace and listings… if my neck heals fully I might go test ride the new Breakout out of pure curiosity.

Yes! So thankful! That really worked well 🙏

Valid! That mid bearing was a common fail in the CTS. And it was the first thing the dealer looked at under warranty. And they removed the drive shaft and checked for balance. All was fine.

That’s awesome 💪 thanks for sharing that! 🙏

I’m sure you’ll do great! Mine is still spinning quiet and used daily 👍 and thank you 🙏

Things are good here! The family is well and as of today we are ready for Christmas! God is good! I hope you and yours are well 🙏

I have crimps now from a camper repair! That tool is pricey 😂

@sstressfl from memory I think I put mine on a solid steel surface and used a smal cold chisell and hammer to Hammer the crimp tight

Nice 👍

@@sstressfl the cable was really cheap. The replacements were about 70.00 each VS around 12.00

I did the same at first but mine had worn enough that it didn’t last…. I’m thinking tolerances were too loose. I hope that works for you for months of not years to come 🙏

@ I figured for temporary fix for now

I'd go the $300 route (as long as its a real flush and not just a pan drop with new filter) and make sure they use the factory Dexron VI spec fluid. It doesnt have to be the fancy mobil stuff. Your 6 speed will like a clean filter! It will restore line pressure and should stop the shudder for many many miles to come :)

Ohhh thank you it was such a huge victory ✌️ I’m praying yours goes well 🙏 just take your time! Thanks for the feedback my friend.

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your own experiences with the ats 🙏

A real stunner!

I sure do! I use a gentle fan spray on the underside areas to make sure I don’t spray it away. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2fYhJKjn7yZjLMsi=GlyQ4cEUvOQf6Q5F

@sstressfl I must be getting old Mike. I actually did see that video. I've been subbed to your channel since I had gotten my ATS about 6 years ago!?! I used to undercoat my vehicles with my old oil from the oil changes. I did that for decades. Now I mostly use fluid film but sometimes surface shield. Whatever is readily available or the cheapest. I'm in south central Pa

I recognize your name 👍 appreciate the sub and your comments, always. Fluid film really works!

I hope it’s flat spots. Be aware the rear diff is vulnerable and if it has been replaced and installed wrong it will vibrate. Praying for a good out come 🙏

@ thank you, i take your advise and take tha car for an inspection. Targeted search on the rear diff. If you know any other weak spots please share your experience. Its a huge help! Fortunately one of my friend is a great mechanic. Fingers cross! Well, tomorrow we will see.

I have an entire playlist dedicated to my experience with the caddy. Use dexos 1 gen 3 oil to avoid oil frothing. Keep an eye on your intake for oil build up. GM recommends premium fuel only to avoid carbon build up. Every 10k miles use crc valve and turbo cleaner. Stay on top of your fluid maintenance. If you experience shudder, a professional flush by a mechanic or diy once or twice trans fluid and filter change should fix it. That’s the summary! Enjoy! 👍😎 It’s a gorgeous, well designed but somewhat fragile car.

@@sstressfl I have found another of your video. The sound is identical what I have heard couple of hours ago! Not simply a same... it was exactly THAT SOUND. I have a flat spot feeling :) :)

@@sstressfl Update> wheels are re-balanced. There was some discrepancies, not too large but enough to make vibration. Fortunately the tires are much better than I thoght. No vibration even above 200km/h. So I am very happy! BUT today was a rainy day...and I realized the windshield washer pump is dead. :( Fuse is ok. Is there any chance to find on ebay? Do I have to find an exact pump or any other option? There is no official dealership in Hungary so I can not buy a new one.

It worked and worked well. Can’t believe how healthy the hemi sounds when it starts now. The factory battery is indeed garbage 👍

@ what battery did you go with i seen the brand but the specs just same as stock?

@@bradbooth6072 I put a link to it in the description below the video! Its a factory spec. This is the one > EverStart Platinum AGM Automotive Battery, Group Size H7 / LN4 / 94R 12 Volt, 850 CCA 140 RC

@@sstressflawesome thank you so much

Glad I could help 🙏

Amazing. That part has doubled in price since I made this video!

It’s actually very common. And they know. Just be aware that it helps to be handy with tools when you buy a camper. They need maintenance and repair relatively frequently, even when new.

Evo… nice 😎

Here’s a follow up :) yes the horsey smell persisted. But, I experimented after making this video. The instruction’s say to shake well, and before spraying on carpet do a test to make sure it doesn’t stain or discolor. I tested. It was safe. So I misted the trunk. And misted the floor boards. I learned that this is not just a nice smelling odor but it actually neutralizes odors. After I sprayed the trunk and floors, it lasted for 3 months - winter, windows closed. And the new car smell had diminished a couple weeks later but no more horsey smell either. For 3 months! In the summer with the windows open all the time I found it didn’t last as long. But a slight mist every two weeks, shaking well first, and it was good to go. If I kept the car closed up with ac on it lasted longer. I traded the Cadillac and still have 3/4 bottle. I have used it on our minivan following a milk spill (spoiled milk smell) that I cleaned with a wet vac. But this stuff freshened up the van and the odor never returned. My wife likes it too. I hope that helps!

I manually set it to use Thai. Did that work?

I did not see any indication on the internet of lifter failure especially if your engine has seen regular oil changes. I inspected mine and decided to leave them alone. 30k miles later and all is well 🙏
