Mike, your sheer tenacity got you through the brake system. It’s extremely difficult to troubleshoot someone else’s hack repair work, as I mentioned previously regarding that capped brake line. Congratulations, most people won’t have been looking for a “We buy cars” ad somewhere! Change the fluids, get the exhaust welded and get that sensor connected then take her for a road test. Be sure to bring your aaa card or Randy’s phone #, lol. Then clean her up and sell her! You don’t really want to be towing with a beater with 500,000 miles on it, do yo? Peace my friend, DrRick

The Escalade can tow and probably be cheaper to maintain than the ML even with the miles on it. Amazon seller Priprilod has both perforated leather seat skins for $99. Or US Auto Seat Cover has the pair for about $200. Maybe one or the other company can sponsor the video if you reach out for the covers. Car probably needs a good clean up. Not sure if you have ever tried woolight and hot water. Works really well on car interiors for cleaning and stain removal. Edit: I think its enduring to see such a monumental project like this. Once sorted out you probably will have a solid SUV. You have had a fair amount of ML's come and go for one reason or another. The list is long and this SUV is a time sink but that is about it. Parts are cheap and it really does not look too bad. You probably can even get a windshield from a junk yard or someone with a parts car.

The ABS pump activating on low speed stops on that generation GM truck is common. The most common cause is corrosion under the wheel speed sensors on the front wheels. You can remove them and sand or grind down the mounting surface on the wheel hub and reinstall. The corrosion pushes the sensor up and too far away from the indexed wheel in the hub to consistantly detect the rotation of the wheel. If that doesn't solve the issue it could be the ABS module.

Well if you are going all in on this you definitely need to replace that fuel filter. It looks factory and since it has almost 500,000 miles it needs a fuel filter for sure and look into some fuel injectors as well. Also that rattle is the knuckle and the joint in the steering column. Over time it comes loose and rattles. Only way you can fix it is to replace it or grease it. Though greasing it is a temporary fix.

I would do the fluid changes before cleaning in case there were accidental spills or leaks that needed to be cleaned up. You might see if you can get the 02 sensor fixed as well as the cat welded before cleaning. I would also pressure wash at least the undercarriage and the engine bay "carefully".

Hi, Mike. The ML 55 AMG can tow easily 7,000 pounds. The rating is too low in the USA. I have two W163, ML500 and ML320. I bought the he V6 ML320 (4,400 lbs) in Dallas 3 years ago and towed by myself to Oklahoma City using the ML500 with a U-Haul auto transport (2,200 lbs) with no problems. Plenty of power and did around 13 miles/gal. I think you had a white ML500 when I started watching your channel...I wouldn´t use it for constant towing but for an isolated car you know they will do the work. This Escalade is tarting to look much better. Best regards!
