    Tires for Our AWD Nox

    Being in the tire industry (Technical Rep for Bridgestone/Firestone Americas), I could go into details about some reasons for rising cost. But put simply, look at how much the basic products have gone up @ your local stores, though we deny huge inflation, some economist put this over 20%. But to...

    What GM needs to add to the Nox

    In a few years we will start getting alot more imho....Just right now its far and few between.....If the Cruze gets one, and they give us the sportwagon I would go with one of those :) (I love sportwagons, I had an S4 Avant and missed it when I finally got rid of it). But Europe Emissions are...

    What GM needs to add to the Nox

    LOL....No thanks, I test drove them and though its the only 1st Gen I would've touched, I still didnt wish to purchase a Sport model. The new Escape looks promising in 2013, the Edge has been around for some time and is larger than the Nox (Comparing Edge to same price point I would take a...

    Date of Manufacture

    Take the VIN to your local dealer service/parts department and ask them to run a Vehicle Inquiry (this will give you all options and your actual build date, i.e mine was 3/12/10) then to check in the system for any open bulletins. It would take the person just a few minutes to accomplish both...

    What GM needs to add to the Nox

    http://motoring.iafrica.com/roadtest/778739.html Captiva (not the US-Fleet model which is a Saturn Vue carry over made in Mexico to protect the Equinox resale value) the 2012 World model are actually VERY nice looking. They come with a 2.2D, and puts out 184hp/300lbs torque. Thats just what the...

    2012 2LT Oil Change

    I wouldnt have it changed, I find the first oil change @ 500 and changing at 3k miles is wasteful I follow the OLM to 10% or change it every 6months (around 7k miles for my Nox) Use a quality oil Make sure oil change/dealer puts back the correct amount of oil, twice I've had my work nox and...

    Kudos for Portercable "starter" kit

    Finally finished my Nox last night....Needed a new polisher, and over the summer I accquired a nice fine scratch down the side of the passenger sides, and a few in the rear from "off roading" LOL (branches in the way!) I tried several products to remove (including zaino, mequires scratch X, 3M...

    Fuel Economy.

    Well I will go through this Impala in about 18-24 months :). I picked up the Nox with 31k miles roughly, and turned it in early with 76k (LOL) because they have very good resale value atm, normally we order @ 75k and end up around 100k turn-in I just drive too much for work! But enjoying the...

    Fuel Economy.

    This was my 2010 I4 FWD work setup...I didnt get all the numbers, but 13K miles where recorded. Trips where mostly interstate (90%). Speed typically cruise @ 74-75mph. I no longer have this as a work setup, but it did pretty good considering. The issue with the Nox's is simple physics, they...

    Need confirmation on Bulb replacement....

    I've had the same setup on mine since I purchased the Nox in March 2010...No issues. As for "firing" the wiring. We know 2 constants...The Volts and Watts, thus we can figure out the amps. Amps are what will fire the wires, not watts. Amps is the actually follow of electrons (electricity) so to...

    In the Market...

    62k on the I4 Nox. This is a 1LT FWD setup. I have a personal V6 Nox. Not changing my driving style...The best I have achieved on the hwy with the V6 was 25's...If you notice that is the WORST the I4 does. The miles are 80-85% interstate driving and it really comes down to what speed you cruise...

    What manual gear selection is best?

    Around town I would do M4, to keep the tranny from going to M5 (which is a 1:1 ratio), and definitely keep it from going into 6th (.74 OD) If on the highways I would do M5 to keep it from going into 6th, unless on flat surface, and then I would control it going into 6th.

    So........What did I miss???

    I never loose in trades :)...Well except the Cobalt, value dropped crazy on that one (but then again only lost 1K)...I'm positive in this setup vs what black-book trade-in values are (which is what most dealers go by, its always several thousand less then kbb trade-in) We shall see...I'm in an...
