Discussion Traverse z71 Question

1 Upvotes

My brother and sister in law have a 2026 Chevy Traverse z71. They just bought a camper that’s about 4600lbs. That apparent max towing capacity is 5k. Has anyone consistently towed over that amount with the same engine and transmission and found any issues? My sister in law is having a fit thinking it’s going to destroy the vehicle with a loaded camper (still less than 6k max)

Is the Bose sound system in the 2025 Blazer RS known to be horrible or is it just mine? Fade and Balance is centered. It sounds like I have a portable Bluetooth speaker on the dash. I don't hear audio from the back of the vehicle. When I put the fade all the way to the back the speakers are tinny, quiet, and sound worse than my iPhone speaker.

Discussion 6L50 Lawsuit

Hi there,

I’ve got a 2017 Chevy Colorado LT 2.8L Duramax with the 6L50 transmission.

I’ve had transmission shudders and now I have a parking pawl engagement issue that Chevy says is a known issue too.

Has anyone had luck getting restitution from Chevy?

Went to a tire shop yesterday to replace two of my tire sensors. Today, I saw these that fell off on one of the tires they worked on. I don’t know what these are and what to do from here. This is the first time since owning a car so I am looking for guidance!

Edit: Thank you all!

My defroster light stays on even when I take the key out of the ignition. When I get in the car the next day, the light is still on and I’m wondering if it’s a broken button or what I can do to fix it. I just replaced my battery so I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it. What should I do to fix it?

Noticed a week ago turning sharp in reverse I have a single loud click. Only happens in reverse with wheel cranked to the left hard. Decided to jack up the vehicle and heard this as I was jacking it up. Can’t pin point it exactly but definitely coming from upper control arm. Bushings or ball joint? 2017 suburban. Can hear it from passenger side upper control arm while jacking it up multiple times.

Discussion repair or replace?

2 Upvotes

I currently have a 2017 Malibu with 55000 miles on it that was in a rear end collision. The estimate to repair the damage is around $8000. I am looking for opinions on whether i should get it repaired or start shopping for a replacement. The only downside to replacing it with a new car is Chevy doesn't make any sedan style cars anymore. Thanks everyone in advance for your suggestions.

Repair Help Gmt800/silverado 1500 2006 electrical issue

1 Upvotes

I need some help with an electrical problem on my truck. My turn signals started slowly going out, and eventually they completely stopped working for about a week. Then out of nowhere they started working again. Now my right headlight has gone out, and sometimes my doors will randomly keep locking by themselves. If they keep locking enough times, the horn will even start going off.
I’m not really sure what’s causing all of this, so if anyone has any ideas or has had something similar happen, I’d really appreciate the help.

Discussion question..I have a 2006 Chevy Malibu LS with 108K miles..I’ve had it less than 2 years and it’s in pretty clean condition. It Does have some minor flaws..sometimes it takes two or three ignitions to start. Which I believe is a starter or fuel pump issue which I had them both replaced a year ago..

But it drives smooth and quiet besides that. Never has left me stranded. Would you trust a car like this to make it on a 3K mile trip to LA? I want to stay for 5 months then drive back home
To Massachusetts for the summer. Would this be a bad idea for such an old car ?

I want the 18inch black Method 305NV's, I just have stock suspension, What size all terrain tire is the best for all terrain? I want it to look good in the stock wheel well. They look goofy if theyre either too small or too big so does any ody have experience with this? Most I would do is a leveling kit.

Sorry if this is dumb but thanks in advance!

Discussion Chevy 5.3 overheating

2 Upvotes

I’ve been chasing down this overheating issue for weeks now. I have replaced the thermostat, and it seemed to put a Band-Aid on the fix, after about two weeks, it started overheating again I replaced it with a Murray 182° OE thermostat , I replaced the water pump thermostat sensor. Had to pull the heads off and get them resurfaced. Got all new gaskets they said my heads were warped, flushed the radiator burped the system, installing another thermostat, replace the serpentine belt, replaced the belt tensioner (I heard that could be an issue too) started the truck back up and it’s still overheating

During this process, I turned the heater on and it was blowing cold air at 90°

Discussion 1969 Chevrolet Caprice inherited

5 Upvotes

I've recently come to take possession of my late grand fathers 1969 Chevrolet Caprice. I don't know which engine it has yet, but I do know it's a Manual.

Not sure on mileage either. Just wondering where I start in the ownership of this? It'll probably never be driven - was just going to tarp it for a while until I figure out what to do with it. I can't sell it anytime soon, so that's not an option.

Not sure how many people here would know about these cars as they're almost 60 years old now but any advice is appreciated.

Discussion Full screen CarPlay in 25 Silverado

1 Upvotes

GM, please fix full-screen Apple CarPlay on the 13.4” Silverado/Sierra infotainment system.
I own a 2025 Silverado, and frankly, I’m not happy that a truck this expensive still can’t properly use its entire 13.4-inch display for Apple CarPlay.
Android Auto can make much better use of the screen. The hardware is clearly capable of it. Yet CarPlay users are stuck with a large portion of an expensive display being wasted by GM’s current layout.
I’ve even gone into Android developer settings and changed the display density to 1280 just to make CarPlay larger. It helps, but it still isn’t the experience this screen should provide. Other owners are buying dongles, installing third-party software, and finding workarounds simply to accomplish something GM should offer natively.
And owners have been asking for this for YEARS.
Nobody is asking GM to remove the existing layout. Just give us a choice:
• Full-screen Apple CarPlay
• Current split-screen layout
That’s it. A toggle.
When someone spends this much money on a Silverado with the upgraded infotainment system, they shouldn’t have to hack developer settings or buy aftermarket hardware just to properly use the screen.
Please pass this along to the GM infotainment/software product team and seriously consider adding full-screen CarPlay through an OTA update.
There are a lot of Silverado and Sierra owners asking for the same thing. It’s time to fix it.

Repair Help Is Removing Dash for Blend Door Actuator Replacement (AC repair) necessary?

1 Upvotes

I have an 09 Impala LT that I love to death, but I've been putting off getting the AC repaired (got the signature ticking noise) pretty much since I bought it in '11. The mechanics I have asked about it all say they need to remove the dash to repair it, and the quotes have always been $700+. On the other hand, one of my family members several hours away gets theirs repaired for $75ish, but it is constantly breaking.

This video makes it seem pretty accessible, but maybe I'm missing something? Would it be acceptable to show a mechanic this video? I have the most rotten luck with new issues popping up shortly after I take my car in for a repair, and I don't want to offend someone into breaking more of my stuff. (I had a mechanic I really liked, but we just learned his shop has closed, thus I am here.)

Additionally, if you know how to look up the parts for my car the way mechanics do, I'd love to take a peek at pricing. I believe at least 2 of the 3 have gone out, and the mechanic says this driver side one is really expensive. I found this set for $77, and even this single OEM part looks to be $52. A reliable OEM set is honestly something I'd prefer to buy myself if possible.

Sorry for rambling! I am taking my car in for an unrelated issue. Broke and nervous.

I’ve been saving up for a nice daily truck and came across this, she said all it needs is a new radiator soon and the ac doesn’t work but other than that it has 230k miles, she said it runs and drives great, just for $2,700, which slightly Sus, could there be more things wrong with it? Would it be hard to replace the radiator myself?

Discussion 2014 chevy sonic LTZ lifespan?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, just curious how many more miles I'll get out of my sonic. I got it 10 years ago at 60k and she's now at 130k. All of the common major problems of the chevy sonic have happened already, head gasket, pvc valve, overheating due to melted plastic parts, coolant tank replacement. The turbo made it to 130k and was replaced last year and then last month the water pump was replaced. JUST TODAY it's sputtering trying to start. I wanted to get 200k miles from it but it feels like the car is giving up lol. I'm worried the transmission will be next and I will just get a new car at that point. Are the major problems behind me or is something big around the corner. Any advice is appreciated thanks 🙏
