Did you load test and crank test the battery with a digital tester? Low system voltage can cause odd issues, especially if auto stop/start is left functional on the vehicle.

I'd keep up on frequent oil changes, make sure to never run the oil level low and ride on. Cut open all your used oil filters and examine them for metal bits if you are concerned. If you hear a hint of rattle, it may be time, or it could be something else. If you have concerns, you can pull...

I'll have to verify on my 2021 LT, but I think the volume can be adjusted by going to Settings -> Vehicle -> Comfort & Convenience, but that might be only for the warning chimes. You may have to live with the tick-tick.

Do the electronic parking brakes work?

First step is to scan the vehicle for trouble codes. If there's no trouble codes present, I don't believe there's a means to determine why the A.S.S. isn't active, at least at the mechanic level. I hear you on your concerns, but allowing that system to cycle is not a good thing for the...

Auto stop/start is very conditional. If you have the A/C running, have the heat on full blast along with the rear defroster are just a few examples of what will hold it out. Battery voltage below minimums will hold it out. Lots of things. A bad radio module is not unheard of. I do doubt...

Yeah, I can't figure out that system from supercruzes. To me, the way SCs has it designed, it looks like it's taking away the majority of the vacuum source for the PCV system on the 1.5t. I'd be really curious to see owner's experiences with this system and how much oil it collects with this...

Did you try pointing the vehicle north and remote start it with the hood up? I'm kidding! Thank you for the thorough testing. I never tried all that with my 2021 w/ the bypass harness in place. That's a good call to make sure it can't be remote started with the hood up.

To me, their system will keep much of the oil out of the turbo and charge air tract, but I question how it will effect the engine long term. Their system is blocking off one of the two vacuum sources that operates the vacuum side of 1.5Ts PCV system. The first vacuum source is ported...

I would do spill and fills with some drive time in between. I know people say new fluid is going to ruin a "neglected" transmission, but IMO this theory stems from people trying to fix an already existing transmission problem with new fluid.

Could it have been jostled a little loose from the sparkplug change? In terms of the oil carry-over, it's unfortunately the nature of the design. I dunno if you've seen any of the PCV system threads on these 1.5 turbos, but per design, a large portion of the PCV vapors are routed directly into...

Any HVAC settings that command the a/c compressor to run (like defrost) should hold out the auto stop/start system. I get it that there's ways to hold it out on the 2018-2024 right from the driver's seat, but you have to do be mindful of it every single trip. The hood switch harness is...

I agree with @Hey Vern! I'd start by checking the battery connections and wires. I would then load test and then crank test the battery with a digital battery tester. You need to do both for a true health report on the battery. Then I would address all the parts that were changed. Were...

On my 2016 Malibu 2.5L, you can't even put the gear shift in manual (or L) and toggle to 6. Once you select manual/L, you have to be under way to get it to upshift to the next gear. You physically have to click the + to upshift and - to downshfot to each gear and throttle inputs are greatly...

I sure hope they can financially recover over these $50 credits.

I missed a few details of your original post. Assuming we're only talking about the transfer case (the differential is built into and part of the transmission), I don't know how two liters of gear oil would even fit in the transfer case. What color was the fluid that drained out? Did it...

I have no idea how it works, I just know that it works perfectly in my 2021 Equinox 1.5L AWD and my 2021 Traverse LS AWD. The hood switch still functions, in that you will still get the "hood open" message if you open the hood with the ignition on. How the resistor added inline does the...

Yes, that would be all one fluid. 75w90 gear oil. Re-fill the unit until gear oil starts seeping out the higher up fill port. I changed this gear oil on my 2021's transfer case and rear differential a few months ago.

Something to check, for those with 2018+ tail lamp problems:

That's a great call putting plastic over the sunroof to see if the water stops. You could probably do it with some painters tape and any type of plastic if you had to. I've seen a few threads where water was found around that rear left corner fusebox. You pretty much have to camp out in the...
