All it's missing now is a set of 20" rims❤

First thought..the video is 1:18 long. I hope that is not the 0-60 time

Fuel pump is a common weakness on this era of Bergs. Pretty easy fix.

Haha, that's pretty slow but it would be much peppier with a 4 or 5 speed manual. It's not as bad as I thought anyway. Must be damn nice to drive anyhow!

Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :) Love that car! Compared to what we drove here in 1982 (Poland, behind the iron curtain back then) it's a true land yacht.

It wasn't meant to go fast but for a very pleasant ride.

Interior reminds me of my 1980 coupe deville. Peanut butter leather interior with an off white/ cream paint job.

Great video, I am planning to do the opposite and replace my 3.7 with the hemi. I believe you can really give me some insight to my swap. Did you have to replace the BCM, TIPM or any other modules? Thanks

Some 2009/2010 bikes also had fuel pump issues. I had mine fail 3 months after buying it brand new but fortunately got it changed by the dealer. That was 13 years and almost 500 hrs ago and been fine since.

nice video bro. love the rig. I have wh or in US/Canada wk1 with the 3.0 diesel. love that engine. enjoy the crd!

I have a Allroad to but in new Zealand that car can tackle the harsh of terrains shot heaps of deer with her love Allroad

Buena conversión felicidades.

I just love this smoke must have smell sooooooo good

Please remove completely the annoying background music and your vid will be perfect.

What kind of final gear ratio do you have on your XK? I know WK 3.0 CRD have 3.55 in Laredo and 3.73 in Liminted or North(towing package). I found 3.73 trasmission feels like have diabled sprag on OD( AKA tow mode all the time), while 3.55 trasmission feels like coasting all the time, and there is significant differnce in fuel economy too. Anyway, great project, i might want to do one next year!

What kinds of faults in the diesel electronics would command illumination of the SERVICE NOW or SERVICE SOON tell-tales ?

All the time and money you spent doing that negated any fuel saving you will ever get. Wasted energies.

Even the speedometer can hardly make it all shaken.

Would you sell this? lol

You should still learn a lot how to drive on off road.

The slowness was worth it for the extra MPGs. The 4.1L V8 gas engine was originally rated at 14 city 19 highway 16 combined average. The 5.7 V8 diesel was originally rated at 23 city 37 highway 27 combined average. I'd like to hear from someone who actually owns the diesel if that rating is accurate though. I'm sure it gets much better fuel mileage than the gas engine but 37mph highway seems pretty high. If it really got that much I'd find one and daily drive it!

I always liked the late 70s-80s GM Diesels. It's too bad they had so many problems at the start which gave them a bad reputation. A big old land yacht that could get 30mpg!

fun test. I noticed that it’s most comfortable to drive on light off-road conditions at level 2 or 3; the suspension handles especially softly in any wet mud. and grips better without falling off the top of the track. It’s also interesting that the height of the 60 tires also fits into the arch. I thought that no more than the standard 225 55 is suitable. You have interesting videos from off-road, I didn’t think that Allroad was capable of this

I love these GM diesels and the body styles from back then I think they’re great cars. I owned about five different ones a couple of three old mobiles couple of Chevrolet never a Cadillac but didn’t have any problems with my diesels.

I like that Cadillac with the things so I think I have never had one with to do so before but I like that one I wish I had one

What would happen if you disconnected the sway bars.

Whenever I think my '82 Firebird 305 auto is slow, I remember there's cars like this, and then there's cars that are somehow even slower

0-60 with an Olds Diesel!!!!!!?????? I'm very surprised that it could reach 60 MPH to begin with!!!!!

All I can hear is 'The French Narrator' from 'Spongebob' going 'Eventually.....' from Rock-A-Bye Bivalve.

Seems like it's quite quiet inside the cabin.

Sounds awful.

Great video but I'm confused by you saying its blue plated i.e. street legal, but you had to add signal lights, so was yours the FE 570 S or the plain FE 570 (no 'S')? In Canada I'd have thought they come with signal lights from factory, or at least wired to install their lights kit, but you had to install your own wiring. Maybe yours came with the same rear 'signal lights' mine has, which really isn't a pair of lights at all but a tail/brake light that blinks on the left or right side of the single light, which I'd think shouldn't even be legal since how can someone behind tell which side is blinking? It's light weight and nothing to get ripped off but I may have to add separate signal lights which may be to do what you did. I was hoping I could just tie into the same wiring for the stock signal light in that 'one light does all' one but maybe you found that was impossible and it required separate wiring to be installed.

Zero oil pressure.

Hello from France, very impressive job ! I’m the happy owner of a 08 Commander with the same engine and I understand your choice 😊 ! Just a question, how did you install the winch ? It’s seems very well integrated. Thanks !

sounds like a big rig

Got my answer! You still have the car! At least you are enjoying it, as it did have rust underneath back then but is still hanging in there!

Kudos to you for doing the wiring modifications, nice project. Too bad the stupid salt Ontario spreads on the roads with pleasure has taken a toll, vinyl tops are a car killer for sure. Also, being from Ontario myself, our classics, not used in winter, get Fluid Filmed and professionally sprayed with Corrosion Free to keep any possible crap left on the roads from doing the dirty deed. I see this video is 2-years old, is the car still around? An uncle had a 1984 as well, but in a sort of copper color, it was a very plush car, going back many years.

Love these old diesel GM cars. GM as usual cheaped out on small, but vital things to make these a lot more reliable. This has been discussed at length. When running right, they were amazing especially on the highway for mileage. We had the 5.7 diesels in the family and well over 30 (imperial) miles per gallon was the norm during long distance drives. We had experience from past diesels (Mercedes, Peugeot) so we knew the increased maintenance diesels needed, plus water separators were added to the 5.7s. Oil changes were done maximum at 5000 km's - 3200 miles. Perhaps we were lucky, but never had a head gasket go, maybe the mainly long distance highway driving/constant speeds played a part, but it seems many other folks were having problems. Nice looking Cadillac!

wrong tires

Because diesel engines are slow . Its that simple.

At least it works. Well in front of many cars. I read they weren't designed as a diesel. They converted a gasoline motor to run as a diesel. That was a mistake.

Seems surprisingly quiet for an old diesel

0-60? Yes. Gas mileage? 1 hwy 0 city

Ya gotta manually hold it in lower gears and spin the engine up. The DX block in that '82 will survive the abuse and you will find untapped horsepower. Don't do it all the time, though I did and never had a bottom end failure. By 1982, the real weakness was the head gasket, the over-rated stanidyne injection pump, and the lockup converter. Oh yeah, the water pump has special small blades.... Do yourself a favor and drill a small hole in the thermostat so it can know how hot the water in the engine is so it doesn't need to slam open. This in some vehicles will prevent the slamming open of the thermostat once the head temps overshoot resulting in warped heads due to flash cooling.

I’m mostly impressed that you have a running and driving example!

Swap a 425 in and you gonna get a nice quick car.

Well, it definitely did something

350 diesel?

I had a new 83 DeVille diesel. It was beyond slow. Okay in town, but useless on the highway. Pray for no hills.
