  Q: How to replace the alternator on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

  A: To change the generator, unhook the negative Battery Cable, remove the sight shield on the intake manifold, and accessory Drive Belt. Remove the generator jumper cables from the generator stud by releasing the generator battery jumper cable nut and terminal, and repositioning the generator battery jumper cable boot. Disconnect the engine harness electrical connector from the generator. Next, unfasten the bolts of the generator and pull out the generator. For installation, bring generator back in position and tighten the generator bolts with 55 n.m (41 lb ft). Crank the generator battery jumper cable terminal to the generator stud and tighten it with the nut of a battery jumper cable, using a 9 n.m (80 lb in) torque. Position the generator battery jumper cable boot, reconnect the engine harness electrical connector to the generator (Fig. 4) and reinstall the accessory Drive Belt and intake manifold sight shield. Lastly, reconnect the negative Battery Cable.
• Timing Chain

  Q: What tools are required to replace the timing chain and sprockets on the LY6/L76/L92 engines on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

  A: For the Timing Chain and sprockets replacement on the ly6/l76/l92 engines, the following tools are needed: en 46330 Timing Chain Tensioner retaining pin, j 8433 puller bar, j 41478 crankshaft front oil seal installer, j 41558 crankshaft sprocket remover, j 41665 crankshaft balancer and sprocket installer, j 41816-2 crankshaft end protector, j 42386 b Flywheel holding tool, and j 45059 angle meter. First, you need to pull off the Oil Pump and the Starter motor, while making sure the teeths of the j 42386-a mesh with the engine Flywheel. Mount the j 42386-a with one m10-1.5 x 120 mm and one m10-1.5 x 45 mm bolt, and torque to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Turn the crankshaft sprocket to realign the cmp actuator and crankshaft sprocket alignment marks, and remove the cmp actuator solenoid valve (234) and cmp actuator (235)/ Timing Chain (208)/. Unhook and remove the cmp actuator and Timing Chain from the camshaft using a tie strap and place one through the middle of the actuator and over the reluctor wheel. Take away the Timing Chain tension bolts (231) and tensioner (232), and then use the j 41816-2, j 41558, bolts and j 8433 to remove the crankshaft sprocket (207). Put the key into the crankshaft keyway and tap it in place, and fit the crankshaft sprocket and align the key into the sprocket keyway. Use the j 41478 and j 41665 to fully seat crankshaft sprocket, proceed to compress Timing Chain Tensioner guide and install the en 46330, then Timing Chain Tensioner and bolts at 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Leverage the cmp actuator correctly into the locating pin on camshaft. Make sure that the sprocket and Timing Chain teeth fit and the marks are good. Mount the cmp actuator and Timing Chain, establishing that the actuator fits completely onto the camshaft. Inspect proper installation, replace the actuator valve (234) cmp with a new one, and then install the cmp actuator solenoid valve as 65 n.m (48 lb ft) followed by an additional 90 degrees using the j 45059. Finally, take off the j 42386-a and bolts, and replace the Starter motor and Oil Pump.
• Drive Shaft

  Q: How to replace the front drive shaft on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

  A: The first step to replace the front propeller shaft involves vehicle lifter and removal of the Transfer Case shield when present. A flat-bladed tool should be used to lift the clamp end extended from the Transfer Case. Using tools between the yoke and Universal Joint as well as striking the yoke ears will result in fractured injection joints so care must be taken to avoid those methods. Before you disconnect the propeller shaft from the front axle pinion yoke you need to first mark the desired front propeller shaft and drive axle flange alignment then take off the bolts and yoke retainers attached to the front axle pinion yoke. Securing the bearing caps with tape allows you to proceed with removing the boot from the Transfer Case output shaft groove before pulling out the propeller shaft from the Transfer Case output shaft. The procedure requires boot clamp removal together with the boot itself when needed. Examine the Transfer Case output shaft splines to verify enough lubricating material exists. Use red grease gm p/n 12345879 or canadian p/n 10953511 if such material is deficient. Put the propeller shaft boot along with its boot clamp in position prior to inserting the propeller shaft splines into the Transfer Case output shaft while maintaining alignment of the relationship marks. The front axle pinion yoke should receive the propeller shaft and then you should install the Universal Joint retainers and bolts before tightening the bolts to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). You must first snap the boot onto the Transfer Case output shaft before using clamp pliers (J 43218) to crimp both clamps and reinstall the Transfer Case shield and check its fluid level. Afterward, lower the vehicle.
• Oxygen Sensor

  Q: How to replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor - Bank 2 Sensor 1 (2500 Series) on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

  A: First navigate to the right wheelhouse to remove the liner so you can free the connector position assurance retainer to disconnect the HO2S electrical connector that is linked to the engine wiring harness electrical connector. Next, remove the HO2S . The HO2S requires installation with a special anti-seize compound consisting of liquid graphite and glass beads; using GM P/N 12377953 or equivalent product can coat the threads of reused sensors. Fasten the HO2S by applying torque to 42 N.m (31 lb ft). Installation of the right wheelhouse liner requires reconnecting the HO2S electrical connector to the engine wiring harness electrical connector before installing the CPA retainer.
