In this video I bring you along as I go through the process of swapping out an engine in a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.5L RWD. Everything is swapped over and now it is time to swap the transmission over to the “new” engine and add the final pieces before we slip it back in the caddy.
-Enjoy!

Go home ,, get well.
Eric, hope you get to feeling better. "Never keep a good man down" I always say. Thanks for Sharing!
You treat your girl so well. What a gentleman. And a master mechanic.
Eric, I am truly enjoying this series. Maybe not to you, but to me this was a major undertaking. How you remember what is what and where it goes just boggles my mind. Looking forward to turning the key, cranking the engine and watching you pat yourself on the back.
Im fascinated to know why the other engine was condemned but maybe I missed that. Of course the suspense about the “new” engine viability is off the charts!!
What a team;0)
get well soon
Eric get some whiskey and lemon hot toddies with a spoonful of honey down your neck, get well soon buddy.
I know what you mean really didn't feel like working anyway but if you don't you just fall further behind and the bills don't pay themselves
Just swap a 6.4L hemi in a 2015 Ram. Took me 28 hours. Book says 12 or something like that. I must be slow. Unbelievable number of electrical connector. Went well though. Slow, methodical and lots-o-pics.
Don't know how much you charged for this, but it ain't worth it, me thinks..
Some things just ain't worth the money!
Sorry u r sick
Great series Eric!!
Question?? How in the heck do u remember which screws go where..hi to Ms O.
When I worked rebuilding transmissions , our rebuild room was in the opposite corner of the shop from our parts storage. There where three lifts between us and the parts. One day my buddy Dean decides he is going to run over to the parts room. Never saw the car up on the lift and runs right into the head high tire, knocked out cold.
Curious what died on the original engine. Looks like new. Those lift tables look interesting but still have not bought one myself either.
get better !
looks like you are going to need to drop the handle on the lift table to get the motor in, does it do that? last one I used it flipped over the table to go down and that wont work for you.
25:50 were getting close anyways… Close to part one, an car with an junk engine
good work man

You've probably mentioned and I missed it; how long of a job is this start to stop?

I’ve been fitting engines for many years and had many issues with all of them remanufactured crap but when I repaired my self no problem so I assume monkey’s make exchange engines I’ve had cracked pistons oil leaks etc
