Does anyone know the best way to cut my lower air deflector for installation of factory fog lights????

 

I don't have them yet, but want to get it ready for when they arrive ...... so I do not have any instructions yet!

I've heard that people have had good luck using a dremel tool with a small cutting disc on it.

dremel with a drill cutting bit works really good. and then some griding stones to smooth it out.

I think it does too, but I am getting OEM set on ebay that does not have it included .....

 

can someone measure their precut air deflector, so I don't cut-off too much or too little .....

just so i'm reading this correctly....the grey plastic air dam comes with the fog light kit?

 

 

 

 

Yes. The OEM fog lights on eBay are sold by Jennings Chevrolet in chicago and they simply do not ship the air dam with the kit because the shipping costs would be too high. I was told this by their parts department guy. I do not see any advantage to paying $ 180 something plus shipping for this set when you can go to your local dealer and get a complete kit for something like $ 220 retail, complete with the air dam.

For 2006, they changed the color of the lower trim fascia tto gray. So there is new part number fog light kit for that year.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By newdude · Posted

      We've done a bunch of them.  Very common failure.  They don't sell the park position switch separate from the shift control assembly which is stupid, because they ended up selling a switch on some other products like 2016-2019 Malibu, 2018-2019 Traverse, 2019 Blazer, and another car or two as those were having the same issue for years (but these have a console mounted shifter not column mounted).

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.
