    Dealer recommends the following maintenance for my 2019 chevy equinox

    do you have to do this maintenance schedule to keep your warranty in effect? Does your manual say do this at 15k miles? 25k miles? And so on? Does it say change gear oil or just inspect it? Induction cleaning? That’s a wallet cleaning.

    Bolt pattern

    Has 5x120 BP with 14mm studs. Almost all cars use 12mm studs. Like bmw, Camaro, and wonder if those wheels will fit or not? Not sure I’ve seen it discussed. of course center bore, offset and width matter. its the mounting I am thinking of.

    2011 parts car?

    Seller said motor was “rebuilt”. Timing chain and pistons. Well, it was a short txt so I don’t know details. But, you can’t easily pull pistons with motor in car. Would new pistons/rings solve oil burning issues? He is parting it out and wheels are gone. I need to move quick if I want it

    Looking to add a new Equinox to the family V6 vs 4 cyl

    The 3.4 was a pushrod motor. Never been a Honda 3.4 that was shared with an equinox. Yes, the Saturn vues used a Honda 3.5 and yes it was OHC. Not pushrod

    2011 parts car?

    found a few equinoxes to work on. Usually have bad motors. Found a 2011 with motor issues for $800. Today I found another 2011 Ltz with a bad trans. And rebuilt motor. For $1k. Combine both? Haha.

    AC Compressor keeps seizing.

    So, parts/labor to fix now is covered by repair warranty? I bet shop is saying, go away. In years past, you might put filter on suction side of lines. Don’t know if that is an option theses days. I had a bum compressor on my caddy and there was crud in orifice tube that I cleaned out. I put on...

    Equinox - Head Gasket Sealers?

    It’s easy to disconnect hoses at transition from hose to steel line near plenum. You don’t have to unhook them at firewall. Then you can flush out the core with ease. But your overheating problem was worse after flushing so perhaps the head gasket finally let go? If you use sealer now, you might...

    i measured the 05. it is 88" long and has a 3.25" dia hub at the trans output. the 07 i measured is 86" long and has a 4.5" dia hub. the hub design is different in addition to being a larger dia. so, they are not interchangeable. i would assume the transaxle for the 05 is different then the 07...

    Coolant Temp Gage pegs cold

    Already answered. Darn, old thread. Had same issue. The thermostat is stuck open. And you then get a hot motor error. Code 0118 cold and 0128 hot? Can’t recall exact code. But GM wants you to fix it by giving you dire warnings. Change the thermostat.

    Driveshaft length

    I have an 05 equinox AWD and I removed driveshaft due to bad carrier bearing. I found a nice driveshaft from an 07 but I looked up the specs and it is longer? Anyone know if 05-07 are the same? And if not, why did they change the length?

    Trailer wiring on 07 equinox

    Just got my 06 and it has hitch. And there is a plug next to receiver. It is fed from module in jack area. If this is factory why can't you copy the layout? grab the bits at a boneyard? Found a nox at boneyard with hitch and a factory sub too. Pioneer? Heard the pioneer setup is rather odd?

    another front end rattle

    pretty sure some of it is from the steering column knuckle. i tried tweaking the knuckle/bolt under the dash and no luck. maybe a different shaft from a junkyard nox might help? they are 60 or so online.
