First off, sorry if this is the wrong thread, but it seemed the most appropriate.
Secondly, apologies for the long story, but it's a complicated issue.
I've got an 07 AWD Cadillac Escalade ESV that decided to wrap it's main wiring harness (engine to trans and 02 sensors) around the transaxle and tear itself apart. The part #15904556 is discontinued by GM and Ive been trying to find a replacement for months to no avail. No junkyard or private partout wants to verify the part # or ship to me. I cant keep drivng all over the place wasting my days off to only find the wrong part #. Yes, Ive scoured ebay and marketplace. Ive got $15k into the caddy between purchase price and upgrades and repairs. Im going to take a huge loss if I cant find this part.
That being said, in the event that I have to part it out and take the loss, what parts might be interchangeable with my 99 GMC K1500 Suburban? If I have to eat it with the Caddy I may as well upgrade the Burb with newer parts if possible. Obv I could swap the LS motor but I'm not trying to get into all that electrical BS and the wiring harness is fudged anyway. Can I swap the rear axle? Swap the rear disk brakes and replace my rear drums? What about tie rods, or AC blower motor? 02 sensors? ANYTHING. Literally anything that'll match up from the 07 Escalade ESV to the 99 Burban I want to take off for myself before I send the Caddy to the firey pits of financial loss.
Any and all advice and speculation is appreciated. I need to get the most out of the parts situation if I cant find the wiring harness.
