How to remove and install a starter motor on a Cadillac Escalade?

First, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. On 6.0L models, loosen the wheel lug nuts for the right front wheel. On all models, raise the front of the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. On 6.0L models, remove the right front wheel. Remove any skid plates, if equipped, to allow access to the starter. On non-6.0L models with 4WD, remove the right front differential carrier bracket under the starter, if equipped. On 6.0L models, remove the right front wheel well splash shield. On all models, remove the starter heat shield, if equipped. To remove the heat shield from the starter, simply pull it off. Disconnect the battery cable and the starter control cable from the starter solenoid terminals. If you're unable to remove the nuts that secure the starter cable and starter control cable nuts with the starter bolted in place, skip this step for now, then remove the nuts and disconnect the two electrical cables after the starter has been unbolted. On 6.0L models, remove the transmission cover bolt. On all models, remove the starter mounting bolts and remove the starter. You can remove the starter from underneath the vehicle on non-6.0L models. On 6.0L models, remove the starter through the right wheel well opening. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to tighten the starter mounting bolts.

Cadillac Escalade Starter

The Cadillac Escalade starter is a device that is able to draw electrical current from the battery and converts this into mechanical energy for turning over the engine. This is done by an externally mounted solenoid connected to the battery thus engaging the starter motor and the starter drive gear with the flywheel. A simplified internal structure of the starter is made of rotating armature, field coils or permanent magnets, brushes, and a commutator. Years of Cadillac Escalade editions have mainly incorporated electric starters and these are by far the most prevalent. These starters possess a solenoid that guarantees the drive pinion to lock with or unlock from the engine's flywheel to avoid mechanical strain. Other improvement has been made to increase efficiency, and the compactness of the system like the gear-reduction systems. The OE starters will be adequate for any standard engines for Escalades but if there are engine upgrades, particularly high compression engines and performance modifi ed engines then different starters may be needed to handle the added torque and eliminate such problems as kickback or failed starter.

Each OEM Cadillac Escalade Starter we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
