    Fit and Finish Issues - '23 4BW

    My 2022 GMC AT4 has wireless charging and has an AC small duct underneath to keep it cool. When I run the AC, my phone is cold to touch and charging perfectly. No AC running, phone is warmer for sure. I haven’t checked to see if the 5BW has the same feature. My phone seems to charge fine on...

    Rear reflector mod from amazon

    @Sully thank you for the details of your installation. For my temporary setup, I was going to cover the holes with my aluminum hvac tape. If I like, then I was planning of using the same silicone. Thanks again. @1Evil55 my wife claims I’m good with my hands 🤔, so I should be able to articulate...

    Rear reflector mod from amazon

    @1Evil55 same, I’ve on the fence as well about installing them, however, my return window has passed, so stuck with them. If the original reflectors are not hard to remove, I may play around with a temp setup to experiment and see if I like or not.

    “New” Car with 155 Miles

    As I stated in my message, confirming the “redline” was showing 4500 rpm for the first 499 miles. I didn’t check if the engine would let me do more than the redline. No reason to try to exceed the “redline.” Maybe you did? Not sure what you mean about “4500 miles for the first 500 miles” 🙃

    “New” Car with 155 Miles

    I have an auto 5BW and can confirm that the first 499 miles keeps the redline at 4500 rpm. At 500 miles it goes up to normal 6500 rpm.

    Blackwing Maintenance Regimen

    LS6-M22 is correct and recently another new part # will surface when typing either of the two others - 25206377 Many things lead to changes thus new parts #’s, such as different supplier, product changes, global packaging, etc.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    I would love to know who from GM thought that 80MPH was the “magic” number considering that on Hwy 130 on the East side of Austin has an 85MPH speed limit that Texas Transportation Commission determined safe & reasonable” after engineering study… There are other States with 80MPH speed limits as...

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Same here poor-sha, but finding it back on is not right. I wonder if it counts all of the track driving habits for those who track, then count against on insurance even though your not on a street?

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    @jwolf99 I could swear when Throat Yogurt first posted, I checked my app on both of my GM vehicles and both were turned off on the screen shot you posted. I just logged in and appears the app was updated and when I checked again, it showed turned on for both vehicles!! Like everyone else, I...

    2024 CT5-VBW goes into limp mode

    The Escort Redline CI is an installed version in the car, which is hardwired directly vs a radar detector hanging from your windshield/rear view mirror where you can use a mirror tap or adapter.

    4BW A10 shift flare/hesitation 3-4 shift

    My 5BW A10 shifts solid and firm regardless of load. Of course if I increase load it hits even harder across each gear. No complaints. You mention yours is a 4BW, just figured I’d throw in about my 5BW & A10

    OW-40 oil OK?

    If your Escalade V has the 6.2L LT4 supercharged engine, then you need Dexos R 0W-40. If you just have a 6.2L L87 engine, then yes, 0W-20 is what goes in that engine. Unless something changed in 2024, which I doubt, here’s GM Tech Link snapshot.

    WHEEL/TIRE AND GAP INSURANCE PLUS ALL WEATHER MATS WITH NEW PURCHASE

    Congratulations on your new 5BW. I have the same all weather Cadillac factory mats that @BW56M posted and love them. Mine were an option included at time of purchase and have been fantastic. The car had in the trunk nice plush Cadillac carpet mats still in the bag, but I like all weather mats as...
