2008 Cadillac Escalade 4dr SUV, ext.

403-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

116000 mi

US $430
Replaced plugs and plug wires to combat rough idle 
123000 mi

US $180
Oil pressure sensor due to CEL. Helped with rough idle, but I still experienced the rough idle off and on after that fix. I never replaced the coil packs, but that would have been the next on the list of replacement parts to throw at it as no repair shop could ever diagnose the problem 100% and mostly I just drove the truck and let it sputter when it felt it needed to. 
41500 mi Transmission mounts Oil pan leak 
97800 mi

US $400
Exhaust leak. Engine mount replacement.
