Something to remember on vehicles with the gas pump in the tank also....... you don't ever want to let the gas tank run empty. The pump gets it's lubrication from the gas and if it runs empty you will almost certainly ruin the pump.

Fuel pump is inside the gas tank. I think it was about 2000 or so model year when they put an access plate under the spare tire so the pump could be accessed from above. I think yours will have to have the gas tank dropped out to access the pump. Cadillacs have been know to overheat the wiring to the pump when the pump is failing. If you have to go into this again, make sure ... Read More...

You could bring your car to a cadillac dealer where they only specialize in Cadillacs and get an idea where you stand with how worn out your fluids are. Or anything else for that matter. My old Deville the plugs and wires lasted exactly 100,000 miles. Once I got about 100,100 miles it started to studder on the highway, and what do you know? One of the plugs were cracked. ...

Am finding your posts on Northstar vs Hemi helpful and informative. I currently own a 2004 Deville but have owned Chryslers in the past, most recently a 1997 LHS, with the V6, 214 HWP. I wouldn't mind owning a 300 C for a second car but at least for now Cadillac is number one with me. Am also considering a 1998 or 1999 Concours for a second car. I liked the body style for ...
