Cadillac questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Cadillac showing a cam timing code?
On 2008–2012 SRXs and CTSs with the 3.6L V6, timing chain stretch triggers cam timing codes.
Warning signs
Check engine light · Cam timing codes · Rough running
What we do
We confirm chain stretch and replace the chains, guides and tensioners together.
Why is my Northstar losing coolant?
Cadillac's Northstar V8 is known for head gasket failures, often from head bolt threads pulling out of the block.
Warning signs
Coolant loss · Overheating · White smoke
What we do
We test for combustion gases and explain the repair options honestly before any work.
Why is my Escalade ticking?
Many GM V8s use AFM, and its lifters can fail — causing a tick and misfire.
Warning signs
Ticking · Misfire · Check engine light
What we do
We repair the lifters and can do the permanent fix: non-AFM hardware plus a PCM recalibration.
Why doesn't my Cadillac CUE screen respond?
On many 2013–2017 Cadillacs, the CUE touchscreen delaminates and stops responding or 'touches' itself.
Warning signs
Screen unresponsive · Ghost touches · Cracked look
What we do
We replace the touchscreen layer instead of the whole unit when possible.
Why is my Cadillac ride rough or leaning?
Adaptive (magnetic ride) shocks and air suspension on many Cadillacs leak or fail with age.
Warning signs
Suspension warning · Rough ride · Leaking shocks
What we do
We diagnose the system and replace the failed shocks or parts.
