The colored link is slightly off because of the old chains stretching. GMC Traverse forum has some very good videos on chain replacement.

Worked in dealerships in the 70's, 80's and a bit in the 90's. Literally 1 to 2 new cars and 1 or 2 customer cars were stolen in a month. Security cameras showed the thieves, police very seldom caught them. Didn't matter if the cars had alarms or whatever, the only thing that would get the car...

I had questions about this on my 2015 Acadia. Apparently AWD is 80% front wheels, 20% rear wheels. Never did get an answer if it goes into higher numbers in the snow, but was assured they're good in the snow.

I had that same problem, and a poster on here helped me fix it. When the engine is up to temp, drive at 50 mph steady for 2 minutes. I had tthe Tech 2 hooked up, did it, ran the test and passed. The computer dosn't run that test often.

Tech 2 is already promised to another member. If it falls through, I'll PM you.

The alternator and tensioner is for an 04 6cyl 4.2, and yes I will. I'll PM you.

For sale-Tech2 with cables, Candi module, cd's etc., Full set of shop manuals for a 2004 Trailblazer, AC Delco alternator, new, never used, belt tensioner, all for the I6. Prefer not to ship, live in central Jersey, will drive a reasonable distance. $300 for all. PM me.

Been getting to know my 2015 Acadia. Aside from the surprise of having too Google the battery location (behind the passenger seat). I am impressed that there's 2 bolts in the engine compartment for jumping a dead battery, clearly marked. I just watched some videos on thermostat replacement...

Reminds me of motorcyle guys lubing the cylinders for winter and the straw from the can shoots into the chamber. Then the inevitable post about 'how do I get it out? That must have made one hell of a racket.

Picked up the Acadia today. Nice car but can't hold a candle to the TB. Popped the hood, everythings buried, Had to google where the battery is (under passenger floor), but it does have jumper terminals under the hood ???? Couldn't get a good look at the fan belts, PCM is mounted to the radiator...

Pulled the plug, bought a 2015 Acadia. And yes, it's damn expensive, however, I found EVERYTHING car wise is that way. I bought it at a dealership a couple of miles from my house. Before you guys smoke me, yes, it's a dealership that I've dealt with before and they're not bad. Comes with a 6...

Need help from the brain trust. As some of you know, I totaled my TB. Been looking at used cars and am appaled at the prices of 0213, 14 and 15 Denalis/Traverse with over 100K on them. These have the 6cyl. engine and 6 speed trans. I've read on here the timing chains on the 6cyl. were...

Yes, I'm sure the TB kept me alive. Being so old, I sometimes wondered if the air bags still worked, hell of a way to find out. Checked on the computer for Envoy/Yukon/TB for sale in this area and the prices are stunning. The one that surprised me was an 03 TB, 170,000 miles for $9k. Anything...

Here's some pictures, me and the other guy.

It was a very short vacation. Left NJ about 9AM, made it to Aberdeen, MD and got into an accident. Was going south on Rt. 95, left lane, something happened in the right lane and a Vette came into my lane sideways. I t boned him at 65. Air bags went off, after that I'm not sure what happened, but...
