This thread has a pic of the in-channels on both EXT and SWB models, you can see the difference there. http://gmtnation.com/forums/topic/1801-regular-vent-visors-vs-in-channel/

Would be interested in procuring the following from you: Cargo area floor storage lid center console lid faux wood center dash insert console cup holder insert Would likely need to have you ship.

Been driving around with a broken lens on the tail light for close to 2 years now after someone in the parking lot got a bit too close. I finally got around to ordering a replacement and installed it today. Edit: Oops, been a while since I posted a picture here; forgot to hit the "attach" button.

This appears to have fixed my intermittent issue with the passenger actuator where I would get hot air during A/C that would sometimes go away after shutting the vehicle off and back on. Definitely worth a try before picking up parts.

Had to read it twice...first time was just shock without comprehension or attention to detail.

Yes, anecdotal evidence from 2nd party sources and a cousin's durango with a new transmssion in the first 12 months certainly doesn't help but it's the JGC's inclusion in "least reliable" lists and something like 14 recalls for the 2014 model year that raises real concern. I'm not saying you...

Keep an eye on the recalls and consumer reports, that JGC is not faring well in terms of reliability.

My revision of the 5.3 v8 uses a secondary belt for the AC, you can safety remove it and run without it. Check your routing, you should be able to as well. If the bearings are going out then I would be concerned about it locking up and causing the secondary belt to tear up the primary belt...

Oxy fuel leans out the mixture and depending on the additives used can also have damaging effects on fuel systems when stored for significant periods of time. On modern EFI engines which adjust mixtures and whose fuel systems are hardened against ethanol this is less of a concern but for seldom...

RockAuto is a reseller and they carry everything from AC Delco OEM to the same low end chinese parts you find at local B&M shops and other online parts dealers. The good news is Rock Auto is cheaper than most and has a good customer service and order fulfillment track record but you still need...

If you're set on spending more for fuel (because it's sooooo cheap to operate a 15mpg vehicle already :wink: ) then you should spend your money on better quality fuel, not higher octane fuel.

Pads remove paint from face of rotor on first few stops, rest of rotor still painted keeping rust away and also looking awesome.

Warranties on Saab vehicles sold during GM ownership are now fulfilled through specific certified service centers. At that mileage and age your vehicle is likely still under warranty. Unfortunately they didn't reach this agreement until AFTER my 5 year/100k mile warranty ran out last September...

Not as a rule and unless you test a station's output yourself you're unlikely to know for sure but yes it's possible that premium fuel can contain "less" ethanol depending on what you're comparing it to. Some premium grades at certain gas stations contain 0% ethanol. That said, octane rating...

I do see a "GMT Small Platforms" section but there is no mention of any of the Theta platform vehicles. There is a lambda section (traverse/acadia/enclave) though.
