Well, I think you have quite a bit wrong here. If he truly has blown head gaskets on a Northstar, there is more to it than replacing the gaskets and using new head bolts. He will have to have the motor pulled. This is the only way to make the following repair because you cannot reach the rear head to do this. The heads have to be pulled. (If you do this, do both heads.) Just ... Read More...

1) Bring up the Oil Life display, then hold down the 'Reset' button until it changes to 100%. About 5 seconds. 2)Push the valet button. Lock the glove box. The trunk cannot be opened with the key. Owner's manuals can be bought very reasonably on eBay. www.helminc.com will sell you a new one. With all the 'stuff' on a Cadillac, you need one, and you need to read it. Lots ... Read More...

a few more comments on reliability

Written by: sls002 on Mar 24, 2006 08:40 AM

My 2002 Seville LS had the torque converter lockup fail, which required the transaxle to be removed so that it could be taken apart. This also means that the engine is removed. The job is a full day (overnight) and so is expensive in terms of labor. My car is still under warranty. However, the Cadillac dealer is new, a Chevy dealer that recently got the franchise when ...

Re: Regarding the Hemi design [blkhemi]

Written by: bremertong on Sep 24, 2005 08:38 PM

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 ...

Need Suggestions-Two Cadillac Dealers unable to repair electrical problemss

Written by: alanjohn1 on Dec 31, 2003 00:49 PM

Do you know of a consultant or company who would match my repair records with my GMPD extended warranty contract to give me a roadmap, so I could talk with GMPD Warranty Department about the continued electrical problems and the repairs I already paid on my 1999 Cadillac 4Door Sedan Deville? Who should I talk to with the extended warranty division of GMPD? The Cadillac ... Read More...

How old of a used Caddy?

Written by: lemko on Jun 15, 2001 00:51 PM

I would highly recommend a 1977-79 Deville. Sensible size, fairly decent gas mileage, excellent 425 V-8. A lot are still on the road. Of more recent Cadillacs, the 1994-99 Cadillacs are good. My 1994 Deville with 4.9 V-8 and 85K miles is still going strong. A nice 1998 or 1999 model base Deville would probably be your best choice. They can be had for very reasonable ... Read More...
