I just saw the oil monitor symbol flash on my 05 equinox. I think I reset it within the last 6 months and I only have a few thousand miles. The 05 does not have a DIC so I don’t have a % oil reading to go by. The 08 equinox is behaving. The orange symbol has not come back on.

Ha. You plan on keeping it for 100k miles more? Is that 5+ years? I tried the $35 China bearings. I’ve bought a dozen over 5 yrs for 5 different rigs. Fix em, sell em. But, I have kept the vue and have done 1 wheel 3 times in 5 yrs. so, I would say stay away from the $35 ones. a local yard sells...

And I still haven’t got to my torrent to do heads. i have 2 others cars and the torrent sorta sits if I don’t feel like driving it. Too bad my dads heated shop is 100mi away. Maybe I should visit him more? its 26’ deep so there is a ton of room in front of car to move around in.

New head gaskets. New intake gaskets. motor temp is fine but poor vent temps so, I flushed out heater core. have heat now. Rad hoses are hot. sounds like I fixed it.

question is, a bad intake gasket would not cause a high surge tank condition, would it? Yes crud in cooling system may indicate poor coolant flow? If you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I pulled intake. Not to inspect gaskets, but to pull heads. Intake gasket had a problem. Were...

2008 equinox 3.4 120k miles I have done 3 head gasket jobs on 3 different equinoxes. now I am doing 4th sadly, I bought it from sister in july she never had issues upper rad hose is cold. Surge tank is high replaced thermostat. Bled system. Problem returned 2 days later. pulled heads, lots of...

The equinox is a 2008. my kid said light is off. Via txt. I wanted her to say that the symbol does not flash on/off when she turns off suv.. I’ll ask her today if that means it does not flash when suv is shut off. I drove my torrent yesterday and that lcd square does light up, a full block of...

The dash display does work. I have a stabilitrak error there occasionally. I just have never seen the oil change symbol there On my torrent. But, I have never gotten below 50% oil life on torrent. Had it over 1 yr and am only at 3k miles. Approx. I DO see the symbol there on the equinox when I...

I reset my oil life monitor using dash buttons to 100%. do you still have to turn on ign and pump gas pedal 3 times? my dash says 100%. when I shut off rig, the orange wrench/oil can illuminates for 1-2 sec. this is normal? When dash says 100%? manual says pump gas 3 times. OR use dash reset...

Saw a 2010 at yard with 2.4 motor gone. It had a 11dtw trans. But, I’m betting the trans is no good. As suv had no body damage and no motor.

Yes. I’m fairly sure newer equinoxes can be flat towed. Like 2020 and newer. I know my 2011 can’t be flat towed.

my 2011 came with no powe r steering. Message says service power steering. Seller had top of motor rebuilt and I don’t know if mechanics messed around with wiring in process. Junkyard sells assist motors for $30. I get a lot of junkyard parts so the process does not really concern me. What is...

I bet yours is mhc-1dtw code. Mine is. But, I bought it broke so it did not cost a lot. $800 for used trans. Vs a rebuild.

Very low odds of ever finding a trans at u pull it yards. easy to find a used unit but it will be approx $800.

Our pic and pull yard has low prices. This week motors/trans are 40% off. So, what are odds both are bad? They have 30day exchange if they are bad. But you have to return it. I walked by an Acadia today and motor was sitting on ground. The trans was gone. The transfer case was left behind too. I...

assume it is wave plate issue. Power steering does not work too. If the motor was apart I’m sure they could have yanked some wires? subframe has to come down. Perfect time to work on steering? Replace assist module? Real easy at that time. But, what’s really wrong?

went into drive with kinda a thump. I drained 4 qts dark fluid. put back 5. Goes into drive smoothly now. But it goes to neutral at 2-3 shift and no reverse. he came down to $800 also. Ugh, pulling trans is lousy job.

I figure oil level was good at dealer. Either it’s leaking or it’s being burned. friend bought Subaru From dealer. Blew head gasket in 100 miles. He fixed it. Was it bought as-is? He never really said. I didn’t push him.

Seems the 06 odyssey has 5x120 and 14mm studs but bore is 64mm while the equinox is 66mm bore. the equinox wheel will fit an odyssey but not the other way around. was looking for temporary rollers. Not long term.

its in MN though the other 2011 For $800 with bad motor has lemon law title.
