  1. I was going to post a picture of the chunks missing from my 22 inch rims but it will not work. I think with the AT4 package they want it to be a full off-road package now.
  2. My 2016 is on it's third one. However, I removed the bottom seal I put on the tailgate and this one has lasted so far.
  3. It may be a bad socket connector on the end of the harness Had an issue like that on a 05 Colorado. Had to replace them..
  4. Dealer install only, free under warranty charge if not in warranty.
  5. They have found issues with the safety systems failing in front end collisions. GM has relocated the batteries in allot of their vehicles. It took me two days of looking to find the battery in the 2010 Traverse I bought. It was behind the passenger seat in the floor. I know they did this to the trucks for the same reason due to air bag failures. It's safer but as with most of these fixes it's a pain to deal with.
  6. I customized the right side tires and rims to get a lower ride. All you need is a dark road under the I75, with no street lighting, A protruding Storm drain 8 inches into your lane. Now here is the tricky part you have to just clip it to destroy two tires and take chunks out of the rims.. Thanks Lexington KY for all you help with this MOD It is a little expensive , I have almost $4000 Canadian invested in this. Not the best trip to Florida we have had... Cold half the trip then hit this stupid Storm drain when we stopped for the night. I had to buy a second spare tire just to get home. The 22's are nice their expensive to replace.... Hat's off to Dan Cummins in Paris KY they had us fixed up with a spare in a day and went out of their busy busy day to help us out. At least she is all back to normal now and I didn't bend anything other then the chunked out rims.
  7. I had no issues with the Durtrac's I had on my old truck they do just get louder as the age.
  8. My S7 will only charge out of the case or if I have the outer plastic ring off of my case not sure why. The charger in the trucks are weak. My S7 charges on the Samsung charger pad no issues. Even out of the case the phone has to be placed in the correct spot and if it slides it will stop. I wanted to tear the charge pad apart and see if I could make it work better but it is to big a pain in the butt to take it apart.
  9. It never worked in the truck. 1st visit was to have the update added as the early 2016 didn't come with it. 2nd visit it wouldn't connect they re-did the update no change. 3rd visit they cleared the entire radio and reprogrammed it with everything now it works. Took time as I have a personal iPhone but have an Android for work. So I use the iPhone mostly but like the Android on it when I'm using the truck during work hours. Somethings have to go to our off site locations. So fare no issues I have a Samsung S7 running 7.0
  10. After it's third dealer visit the Android Auto finally works.
  11. Check and see if the transmission is leaking or got hot and blew some fluid out of the vent. When Transmission fluid gets hot it tends to give of this type of smell. Check the seals on it as well.
  12. The dealer will not reprogram the BCM to support it. GM will not allow them access to the area they need to do it in. You need to add an external one. This has been discussed over and over and no one has pulled it off that I have seen.
  13. Unless they made some change I can't see can't you just buy a 2016 filler pipe and change out that section and put a cap on it. It only looks like $60 to $70 in parts. It's a two part filler pipe connected with hose clamps.
  14. I had a issue with my dealer and they simply over filled the oil in my 2016. Trust me when they do this the oil pressure needle pegs all the way over. If your oil is level on the dip stick I would say you are okay.
  15. Full 100% power outage sounds like a grounding issue. The entire circuit went dead even with the alternator running this would indicate that even that was interrupted.. Hit grade difference going into the lot and it lost contact for a second. There are people on here having ground leads replaced to fix issues similar to this.
  16. V6 Engines last longer then I4 engines. V8 Engines last longer then V6 engines. That's mostly what I look at as I high millage all of my vehicles..
  17. My windows are tinted I can't see the mirrors unless I roll the windows down at night. So the radio never bothers me ha ha.
  18. The wax coating and a the pressure washer are not the best idea as it will strip it off. I just go under and hand wash. Kept the frame on my 2014 looking like new.
  19. I use my Flo-N-Go on my Diff's. I use this thing to suck the fluid out of everything anymore. Lawn Tractors / Mowers .. But it works great in the Diff's and transfer cases as well. Take everything out through the fill plugs. Just have to work the hose in and down that's the only trick. It connects to the shop Vacuum. There are other product like it but this thing is cheap.
  20. You should hear the GM 3.6 they whine way louder then the 5.3. The DI engine in my truck makes less noises then my 2013 then the DI 3.6 the Traverse had.
  21. I wonder if a chunk of ceramic broke off in the catalytic converter. I had that happen in a car once but it just stirred and rattles like that. You have to remove it and give a shake to know for sure though.
  22. I changed out the engine in my truck millage/fuel reducer took me a year to find a good low millage engine. So it was for the truck too ha ha..
