  7. AEP Energy Supply Shopping

    I went to the ohio energy site. Wanted fixed rate, no monthly fee, and no cancellation fee. AEP energy fit the bill. Also turns out I already had an account with them. Dropped my charge from 6.9 cents per kwh to 5.25 in a couple of clicks.

    Consumer cellular for me too. Its like $35/mo for 5gb of data. The most I ever use is around 3, so it's perfect. I always have as good if not better signal than anyone else as well, not sure who's towers they operate from

  13. The gm 3.6 timing chain issue

    I have to agree, I can have the drivetrain out of a Traverse in less then an hour. I’ve certainly made alot of money on them. Seem to be dying off at the dealer though. Still fixing plenty of Cruzes and Equinoxs. Now it seems like I do a few New Malibu/Cruze pistons a month, the 1.4/1.5 are cracking ringlands in the 2016 cars. DI injectors in V8 trucks are also typical lately.

     

    Anyway, sorry to talk you out of buying one but I don’t blame you.

     

    prepare to start fixing 9-speeds. We just learned today that the calibration initially used was wrong based on incrorrect trans test stand data. All 9-speed to this point are affected and most likely will require internal repairs due to slippage.

    Stay away from 09-17 Traverse/acadia/enclave unless you purchase a hell of an extended warranty.

     

    Timing chains stretch, rack&pinion leaks, earlier models had issues with steering pumps, struts and mounts, rear trailing arm bushings, and evaporator cores....Oh and 3-5-r waveplates in the trans.

     

    1 of the few vehicles id be scared to buy with over 100k. 150k is terrifying.

     

     

    CORDELL am i missing anything?

     

    07-12 were the ones with most of the issues (timing chains, steering problems, transmission) 13+ had rear evaporator leak issues.

    I've never seen that...a camo'd test mule breaking down in public. That's not a good sign.

     

    I mean, even if something cracked or it was in limp-mode I'd be like "ABORT! ABORT! Back to the garage!" Something serious must've happened if it's stalled at a gas pump. :lol:

     

    Also, LOL at pixelating that woman's face as she's checking the battery terminals, only to have them NOT-pixelated in later shots when the tow truck is there.
