Tires most definitely. I went with the Pirelli Scorpion’s. Soft smooth ride handle well, but not sold on wear. Like others have said Michelin Defenders are really good
Something I just found out. The service manual actually calls for using new bolts when installing cover. Hmmm. I reused my old ones. Oh well. Torque is 30 lb ft.
So recently I have been hearing a hum come from the front end while traveling over 40. If I turn right it gets worse and if I turn left the sound fades. That told me that the bearing on the front right was going out. Long story short I replaced the hub with a new OEM one and it’s nice and quiet...
I would replace your battery cables. There has been issues with the resistance in these cables causing all sorts of electrical issues. This might guide you in the right direction.

If your handy change out your transmission thermostat to the new version which opens at 155 degrees instead of 195. Very easy swap out to prolong the life of the trans especially if your going to be doing some towing
I would leave it alone IMO. Unfortunately it looks like a paint drip vs a clear coat drip. Clear coat might have been able to been wet sanded out. You could always run it by a paint shop to get an opinion. My 2018 had dust particles throughout the clearcoat. I left it alone. At first it bothered...
When I changed the rear end oil I sprayed the entire gear and housing down with brake cleaner because even though it’s drained there is a black film still left on the gears and housing. I left it for about 30 min to evaporate and anything little bit standing in the bottom I just soaked up with a...
I would go OEM. I just don’t trust the aftermarket ones especially in something not easily accessed like the trans. Not saying after market is bad. Just me.
I have always ordered from the website. I don’t know if any stores that carry it. There may be a few but I’m sure it’s marked up. If your going through the effort of changing the fluid I would drop the pan, change the filter, clean the magnet and pan this way your getting any of the fine metals...
It’s like that with many new cars from what I read. My wife just got a new Palisade and the same thing is happening. They are making them cheaper I believe. My older cars would take a good hit before they chip but not now.
I replaced my original thermostat for the new one which lowers the temp to around 150. Would the fluid show a lower fill mark from when I was checking while at the original operating temp of say 195? I haven’t had time to check on level ground.
I’m sure it was attached with some adhesive. A small dab of Gorilla glue will probably do the trick. I don’t think it will stop the signal. Just my opinion
Unfortunately there seems to be a high rate of torque converter failures. Was the trans ever serviced? Also GM sent out a bulletin recently to replace the temp control valve if vehicle comes in with transmission problems. The temp is being lowered from 195 to 150. I just replaced my valve...
Just installed the updated TCV (thermostat) for my 6L80e. Took about 30 min once I found the correct size sockets and got set up. Trans temp now doesn’t go about 150. Part was about 50 bucks. Part number is 86774933 if anyone is interested. I think it’s well worth it.
