Twin Turbo Escalade First Drive: LSXcalade Is BACK! We Take It Out For a Quick Test Drive..

What happens here

After the test drive, the presenter parks the Escalade and lifts the hood to visually inspect the engine bay for any leaks or anomalies. He notes that there are no visible oil leaks, which was a concern due to a previously crusty power steering line. He plans to add power steering fluid next and then perform another drive. Other upcoming tasks include adjusting the shifter linkage and eventually getting the vehicle on a dynamometer for proper tuning. The presenter also highlights the general comfort and functionality of the Escalade's interior, stating that 'everything in here works better than it does in Elvis the daily driver.'

Goal: Identify immediate post-test drive issues and outline next steps for the Escalade.

Tools and materials

  • Cadillac Escalade Cadillac — The vehicle being inspected
  • Old Power Steering Line — Removed component, shown as an example of a past leak
  • Power Steering Fluid — To be added in the next step to enable power steering
  • Shifter Linkage — Component that needs adjustment for proper gear engagement

so we're gonna stop by uh jeff at heinz racing and see if he's still there if we can bug him about getting this thing on the dyno soon what's up first test drive and it sounded badass it seemed to work okay we had good oil pressure didn't get too hot we didn't catch on fire knock on wood about as good as the first drive could go i think right what do we have to go for get this thing on the dyno we're not right now but like in the next uh indefinite amount of time soon-ish hopefully i think we can probably make that happen okay i don't know if we'll give it the beans yet but we'll at least like get it cleaned up because it's got it's got the different heads on it now so it's not quite uh it's run started and drives fine but it's you know i think the trims will be a little off yeah get her broke in a little bit and see what she does what does a broken mean just do some heat cycles and put a few miles on her so i shouldn't do a huge burnout yet probably wouldn't do a huge burnout yet but i mean uh i mean that has been done before uh we fired up bowman's and uh rolled it out in the road and he put it on the chip so his drift car uh no that was the c10 oh yeah the drift car is still still in pieces okay maybe we'll save the burnout for daylight that's right get some better you gotta get the full effect yeah that's right this doesn't do it justice if you do in the dark okay so first test drive in over a year with the new engine setup looks like i forgot to tighten this i just realized that right at this very second right now which is cool but um kind of the upcoming agenda things we need to change are adjust the shift or linkage because it doesn't it doesn't fit between the gates right not like it's supposed to we need to add power steering fluid and the reason why we didn't do that before was um it leaked i think because all that in there was always oily we changed the feed lime just a pile of crap right there it was like crusty i don't show it to you yeah suspect that this oh yeah yeah well cool i'm just gonna put that back i think it may have been leaking because it was across the pennsylvania winter thing yeah some of you may know it that was one of the original things that was left on there one of the few original things yeah it's all been changed now or anything important anything rust-able pretty much has except the frame but we just painted it so it looks nice went through three winters but power steering stuff kind of always gets credit because it's…
