    Rough idle/running/misfire

    Yup! Everything is froze over here. The Oak Moss trees can't handle the weight of the ice, so limbs and trees are down all over my yard and around the area. I'll be doing alot of yard clean up soon. We're basically locked down cause of the roads. They don't have salt trucks or salt here so the...

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    So if I go with Diesel Oil, is that a good thing? The detergent aspect? I'm aware once you start using a brand/type of oil it's best to stick with it. I like Valvoline Max Life for older engines. But y'all know these motors better than I, so I'll go with what y'all think is best. I trust you...

    Thank you. She's an old horse with 240,000 on it. Highway miles. I was also thinking a "High Mileage" synthetic. I'll do a little research and again, I appreciate all the advice y'all are giving me on here. God bless you brother.

    10-4. Good information. I'll note that. I live in South Texas. It's always warm here....except the last 2 days..an ice storm. I'll probably initially run some 10w-40 or 30 even. I agree the older engines like the heavier stuff. For oil pressure too. Thanks brother. I appreciate you and the...

    Thank you brother! Yes! Immanuel is a GREAT and MIGHTY name! I always joke that if Jesus rolled up on you, he'd be in a "Old School" truck, that is super clean and perfect! He's one of us right? Immanuel is white and clean, even the interior is nice with a new Alpine stereo system. Now we just...

    I like this my friend. Thank you very much for the link. I'll definitely purchase. Quick question, would you recommend an engine flush or could that make things worse? Thanks man.

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    That's what I was thinking too. I'm going to drain the fuel, check filter(s) and put some premium in it with some Gas Dry. I'll keep posting on this forum as soon as I get "Immanuel" home in a few days. I'm going to Resurrect this truck for sure. Kind of like " Christine", but in a Holy Way...

    Hi Everyone! I am a new owner of a 99' Escalade

    Rough idle/running/misfire

    I have a 99' Escalade with a 5.7 Vortec. The previous owner changed the plugs and wires but it still runs rough like a misfire. It also has a slight lifter tick. It has 240,000 highway miles. It's been sitting 9 months too. So outside of re-checking all the plugs and wires, what else should I...

    Hi Everyone! I am a new owner of a 99' Escalade

    I just purchased a 99' Cadillac Escalade with a 5.7 Vortec with 240,000 highway miles. I got her for $800. I don't know alot about these trucks. But I do know the 5.7 is a very good motor. I use to own a 97' GMC Sierra Z-71 with the same motor. My new Escalade had alot of work done to it over...
