VRT is an Adam’s Polishes product specifically made for porous plastics. I do not use it on headlights. I use the finishing polish then wax on the headlights with a polisher. They come out looking brand new every year.
I need to learn how to do that. My headlights plastic could use some love from the millions of bugs and little rocks that have hit them.

Don’t forget they’re plastic, so you don’t want to heat them up too much. But not very fragile either, so you can put sone effort in. I just bought a 2010 SS Camaro with 7,400miles on it. It will be a driver so while the headlights looked spotless, I ordered the pre-cut protection film and wrapped the headlights on it to prevent the chipping and deterioration over time.

Appreciate the advice. I’ll have to watch some YouTube tutorials.
And nice! Any modification plans for it? Bolt ons at least I hope.

Today I changed all the spark plugs. Just replaced with new factory ac delco spark plugs. I can absolutely notice a difference in the smoothness of the idle and acceleration smoothness - which makes sense after 76,000 miles on the first set.
Drivers side was easy. Passenger side was a pain - took the wheel off and went through the wheel well.

This is probably the proper thread to ask… so I see the torque converter is a common failure, then it wipes out the entire Trans…

So is anyone replacing the torque converter as a preventive maintenance? Or is it just luck of the draw, hopefully doesn’t happen to me? If replacing, Is there a better aftermarket design than OEM?


I’m not even exactly sure which trans is in my 2015 Denali.

get a billet one, preferably same stall as stock unless you never plan to tow anything.
I am going to replace mine in the silverado once my warranty has expired if it hasn't blown by then I have a extended warranty until 2025 or 86k which ever comes 1st

I likely won’t be towing with this truck. Getting a camper or boat within the next 5 years isn’t looking too hot.

However if you change the converter Do you know if it’s accessible by sliding the trans back? Or would you plan to drop it? Only transmission related work I’ve done was replacing the flex plate on my older Silverado and I was able to get to that just by sliding the transmission back like 6”
