How I Removed 400,000 Miles Of Wear!

[@bigccentertainment4892]

I would honestly keep it and use it for a tow rig since it has nearly 500K on it. Those 6.0's and 4L80E's are usually pretty bulletproof if you maintain them.

[@nathandodge6555]

KEEP THE ESCALADE

[@thomasthurston6656]

😂 I wouldn't trust anything pulling with that kind of milage.

[@kendallcox5202]

Keep the good escalade❤

[@lupulflamand5673]

I'm not sure this one was maintained...

[@SouthsideKidd550]

@@lupulflamand5673 It wasn't. However, MWM saved it just in time. It has good bones. Its worth a mechanical restore. He doing right with it. Just about all the GMT800 Escalades are clapped out. If you find one in decent shape with a good price, I'd say grab it.

[@ericbrock9387]

Well done sir! You are a glutton for punishment and thanks for taking us along. Maybe one more vid to replace the headliner and then sell it?

[@nucrider2202]

Great job on the seats Mike! I’d love to see you redo the headliner. You might as well keep this thing now and see how long it will last. It looks good and will tow, besides, nobody will give you anything for it.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

I just did this same procedure on my brother's 2003 Chevy Avalanche. He bought the same covers from Amazon, he got them the next day as well. For the money, I'd say a win is a win. The upholstery shop wanted to charge him $550 to fix only the driver seat.

[@billbowers268]

You did a great job ! Looks really great .

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

That looks amazing!! Wonderful 5 minute transformation!!

[@michaelbustillo9583]

I think I remembered on your walk around video the other day you said that you’re going to sell it,I hope that it goes to a grate home! Let’s hope that someone will buy the car and won’t be afraid of the mileage with as high as it is! 400,000 miles does not scare me.

[@brett_hall]

I’m loving this Escalade restoration content and think this is a vehicle that wants to live! More content please and keep it!!

[@JW-lo2bh]

Looks great Mike! I think you should keep it and see how many miles you can get out of it. If you want to really clean the seatbelts, put 2 cups of Oxiclean in a 5 gallon bucket of HOT water. Pull out the seatbelt and secure the top of the sealtbelt with a clip to prevent it from rewinding. Dunk the seatbelt in the bucket and let it soak for an hour. After an hohr, pull the seatbelt out of the water and dry it with a microfiber towel. Let it hang outside the car in the sun to dry and once it's dry, you'll be amazed at how clean it is. Repeat for the other seatbelts.

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Keep restoring the Escalade and keep it mike the 6.0 and the 4L80E will last forever and they are very nice and comfortable cars. I have my own 2006 Cadillac Escalade and have owned many more.

[@jeffcicale]

Fantastic Job Mike, she looks amazing!

[@MapOfEurasia]

Keep it and use it as originally intended, as a tow rig. Replace the rear shocks and keep sailing ⛵ 6.0 with 4L80e is a bulletproof combination, and you already know that the engine is running great and the trans is fine. And then personalize it/build it as your preference.

[@nathankim7664]

The seats were nicely done Mike! The Escalade looks 150k miles younger haha! I'm very pleased with how far the Escalade has come. Just like the Bronze Beemer!

[@mikeschmalz5312]

Hey Monkey Wrench Mike, you did a great seat transformation! She's a keeper, just ask Lola 😊

[@bentbentbar6269]

I really enjoy watching your videos but wish they were longer keep up the great work

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Hope you've been having a good week, Mike. The recover looks pretty good 👍

[@Lifetime1776]

Randy has a red one that’s kool Mike put the OEM wheels

[@chrislambert2889]

Keep it and replace those crazy oversized wheels. Great tow rig there Mike and paided for

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

Awesome job Mike looks great.Hello Lola. Aww noo appearance from Benzo.

[@scottbrady5127]

Looks great! I hate those connectors you struggled with too. I am sure there is a secret to doing those easily, but I don't know what it is. I would say sell this and use the money towards that black Ram you had in yesterdays video.

[@lirr408]

Great job on the seats. Looks great.

[@willoverkill8461]

If you have any thoughts of getting something similar, keep this one instead cause you have history with it now and it's an interesting vehicle. Seat covers look great for a $200 fix!

[@Mustang00007]

New intro is good mate, great to see the young tacker growing through the years. And of course his Acca Dacca t shirt. AC/ DC

[@FoxyThePirate]

It came out so beautiful like it is hard to tell now that it is high mileage absolutely killer job on this one it was bad now it is a gem once again

[@PaddyBoy644]

At least keep it long enough to get her up to 500,000 miles Mike! Cheers Pat 🇦🇺

[@tamararohlin4128]

Damn, you move fast...I got exhausted just watching the seat cover change😂! I saw the Ram/ Tundra video and I think you deserve the Ram!! BTW, the seats look GREAT!!!

[@2003cobramustang]

wow mike those seats look incredible! great job.

[@PedroSobrera]

It was a bare to put the seat back together. You are the man, Mike

[@JRobert111111]

Looks good! Your puppy is adorable and precious! Nothing makes for as good a day than our fur babies bring to us.

[@tokuzumi1]

I have only replaced the seat cushion in my 04 Escalade ESV. Fairly straightforward. Never attempted the back seat cover. Fortunately the leather hasn't worn through yet, and since I'm about to get rid of it, not going to bother doing anything else with my Escalade. It's the foam compression that kills the seat covers. The seat shop makes some amazing foam for the driver's seat in the GMT800s. You end up sitting 2" higher.

[@redlightingwolf1985]

I think you should keep Cadillac Escalade for while make update videos and Cadillac Escalade is great for towing cars and trucks from auto auctions .

[@richardkafka5625]

Lola did a great job supervising! Thanks to her it looks great!

[@boran2484]

Keep it and enjoy it and use it for towing.

[@jeffmac3071]

The upholstery looks better than OEM. Great job.

[@jimdavis3913]

Looks great Mike.good job.look at Randys is less miles and better shape.

[@dmcars147]

I think you have two options. Go all out and do an extensive restoration or just get rid of it. Anything in between will just be a hassle.

[@danielulz1640]

Well, it certainly looks a lot better!

[@Mr.Worf63]

Keep it for the towing then later on you could sell it. Looks incredible !!

[@HomelessAdventuresHD]

Good job Mike glad I could give ya some idea of a direction to go...glad you found something that worked out well!

[@acg2002us]

That is a great affordable improvement on the Escalade Mike, When it comes to a 500k Cadillac you got to be cost conscious for $190 that is well worth it and the color match isnt bad at all.

[@adamholmes91]

Surprisingly Chinese "leather" lately is actually pretty hard wearing, especially at the price you paid. I have some pleather seat covers in my van for 3 years now and about 30k, still look like new with a very tiny bit of creasing where i get in an out. On the contrary though, i had a pleather office chair about 20 years ago that was basically a fabric with the "leather" painted on, it didn't last long before little bits started falling off and i had to sit on a towel haha!

[@JRobert111111]

I sit on a towel as well as my "pleather" desk chair is from 2001, but it's still very comfy.

[@mrlacox2844]

Excellent work. It has been a journey & a great YT view generator. I would finish remaining details & put it up for sale.

[@j14phe]

What a difference well done Mike. John your friend from Scotland

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Scotland!!

[@j14phe]

@MonkeyWrenchMike Mike your world famous I even bought an sl because of your video's John

[@georgecasas8628]

Great transformation

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

You should get the Dodge Ram you saw Mike!!!

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

Definitely

[@timothykraus7654]

That dodge ram was spot on with new content and would last another20 years ! Or end of your towing days . plus and junkyard stuff you can throw in the back and not have to care !

[@paulangus3067]

Those seats turned out fantastic. Great job! Mike 👍👍

[@johnnysmile01]

What a fantástic job Mike 👍 i don't know what would be the best deal for you but maybe on FB market place

[@craigschenk729]

Run it till the wheels fall off Mikey!

[@Sweetrides577]

Mike, I would keep it. Even tho you fixed the seats your only going to get $1500 at the most for it. Keep it for a knock around dog carrier or tow rig. Those 6.0L motors are great for towing.

[@kevinwright1551]

I'm in love with you did to the Cadillac Escalade. Keep up the great work

[@scottjoesting601]

Wow wat a difference looks awesomenes mike

[@TheCadillacGuy92]

Keep it mike my Escalade has 398k miles and it runs great still the and the seat look way better now

[@chaselentz8738]

A fellow Okie! I'm working on sprucing up the interior of one of my GMT800s at the moment and ended up here.

[@dassme1]

love you and the caddy mike !! you get me through the day making me laugh and forget what's really going on in front of me 💯💯

[@Thanos.m]

I would say as long as you haven't spend much on it, it makes sanse to move it on

[@jonpatrickpenland4411]

Mike, awesome videos!!! I would sell this Escalade and buy another one. You can probably find one a few years newer and half the miles and price. 👍👍

[@micahbush3877]

Great job on the seats Mike they look amazing

[@damonwade9476]

I would keep it for a little while in my opinion those 6.0vortec V8 are the truth 💯

[@ThriftMachine]

Looks Great.....pro tip on detailing stretch the seat belts outside the car, pressure wash the belts with just water, then towel dry....they will look new

[@svetoslavzagorchev6503]

Very good job you done nice

[@tborow]

Drop it while it's hot, Mike! When you find the one to tow and haul with on the daily...you'll know!

[@Jon32993]

Looking better you should keep it and used it for towing and going to get parts

[@howardjacobs1325]

When I worked for jeep the electric seat coils would short out I learn this like you did the hard way but later did two vehicles a day I love seat cove install one I didn’t know Amazon’s sold them I’m going to look for one for my ford f 150 yup hold them secured use hog rings tot keep them tight where they go together great video it’s looking great thanks Mike fprhte video

[@dannydayton8737]

Good for you . I am impressed. That Escalade engine will out last you and I. As i said I will neve sell mine. Good job your getting there. 😊

[@vluggejaapie7286]

Good job! 😎👌🏾👊

[@just4kicks950]

Very nice work👏👏 🐵🔧Mike 🎬🚘👍.

[@loribarron7710]

It's looking good, great job. I would keep it.

[@jefflancaster6293]

Big change love it ..

[@michaelstratman8081]

Lola hears you talking and thinks it's daddy and daughter time.

[@whistlingdiesel]

What an improvement! Have you cleaned you the seatbelts with you extractor, yet? Now they are the eyesores of the seats, bah 😁😁

[@TimothyHejl]

put headliner n try sale it or put auction

[@wrenchinwithgrandpa4586]

One thing to consider when you’re doing upholstery (leather/vinyl) heat gun warming during installation.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Excellent job!

[@joegutierrez2019]

That was pretty comical you put the chair on that table and started working on the seat and you kept getting further and further away from the camera and then next your in the garage 😂😂😂to funny 😂😂😅

[@tommoore577]

Keep it, use it to tow and videos when you are short on projects. You have alot of material for the future.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

You gained so many viewers. This video will explode....

[@stevenhinds4907]

Sell it Mike! Love your content

[@wilbertwilson9387]

Keep it for towing

[@viccarrasquillo5183]

Love it 👍🏽👍🏽.

[@haroldlillebo3945]

Keep it they are bulletproof very reliable vehicles

[@robertf4540]

Move it down the road Mike! Like you said, you can get something better for not that much money.

[@arniepaks]

Keep it Mike! Keep up the great content as well

[@rudypernas7962]

good job mike very nice

[@dfenc]

i told you many time mike sell it! and work on the amg 😁

[@dfenc]

but i forget one thing you done a great job on thisd old one 👍👍

[@curtiscarpenter9154]

💯 percent better.

[@robertcapps6674]

If I had the money I would buy it

[@georgevan3102]

You do have a history with it now. Might want to keep it that way you don't have to go through this again if not you can sell it to me and I'll keep it LOL

[@cade861]

Use a heat gun to relax the material to make it easier to work just have to becaurful and not burn a hole

[@claytoncoolidge992]

The overactive abs below 15mph is a known issue and there are tsbs out about it. Usually due to rust on the front sensor holes and not getting a good ground from the sensor bolt as well as improper air gap due to rust.

[@bryanburns5810]

My opinion is send it down the road Mike. Seats look nice.

[@edwardkamenar1493]

I used to skip through your intro to get to the video but now I HAVE to watch it just to see Randy do his hillbilly "ding de de ding" part. It has me laughing every time.

[@MonkeyWrenchMike]

It’s hilarious!!

[@wineinbeautifulplaces1200]

You should keep it or buy randy Cadillac because it's clean

[@jerrytate9394]

I would love to have that Escalade!! Why don't you give it away to one of your subscribers? They have been with you from day one. Just an idea

[@reverandhale863]

I'd definitely keep it

[@terielrand8344]

now that is kind of runs and drives, I suggest fire sale, craigslist or marketplace 😆

[@garagerebuilds1604]

Great job monkey wrench mike keep it and use it as ur tow rig keep the amazing job u do

[@nomebear]

A neighbor's newer Mercedes E-class was stolen and recovered. The exterior looked okay but the interior was vandalized, or destroyed. I found a Mercedes E-Class like his at the pullers. The car had a perfect interior which I bought and installed in his car. It was hard work on my part, but we got lucky! (Off subject, but relevant to the channel) While at the parts yard, the pullers had many beautiful, intact Range Rovers with flawless bodies and interiors. It seems like a huge waste that nothing can be done to fix them without incurring huge debts.

[@jamesearl5071]

Well, how do you price a spent but looking 👌 lovely car that is waiting for the top or bottom .. 😢

[@larrydouglass8948]

the brake pulsation that means you might have to have them rotors turned a little bit I will take that over to like nap or AutoZone or O'Reilly's to see how much they charge to turn on rotors and then go from there but I will keep it

[@jamesolcott4388]

Great Job on the interior Mike. I'd sell the car
