Thank you for the this channel.. I have question not relevant to the issue you are fixing here.. Since the fuse box layout is clear on this video, can you help me how to change the dc fuse so the cigar lighter doesn’t work 24/7 but only once the car starts up? I have seen other chevy and GMC videos which shows how to do it but unfortunately they were on different models that have different fuse box.. Many thanks for the help

I used this fix to correct an overheating problem on my 2014 Traverse LS. The Dealership and a local Garage could not find the problem. My passenger side Radiator Fan would intermittently stop working. I thought it was a dead fan. The local Garage wanted $1500 USD to R&R the Fan Assembly. After watching this video, I checked the 2 bolts and found them to be loose. After I installed home made “C” washers under each bolt head, and the bolts tightened right up. I started the engine and the fans started working normally again!!!

the main thing that makes my bender work is filling the tube with water when you bend it. when it has all the air replace with water you can just about use any bender that will get the radius you want without collapsing the tube. sorry it took so long to get back with you but I’m shutting down my auto shop and retiring.

I have a 2011 Traverse with 260k miles. Just got the traction control warning/reduce power, etc. also threw a P0221 code. Refers to throttle body. I replaced the throttle body 100k miles ago and its surprisingly easy. I saw other videos on P0221 saying the issue is wire harness/repin, but im thinking it will probably lead to an all new throttle body anyway. They are a bit pricey, i know, but cheaper than taking it to the dealer...labor alone would be more than a throttle body. Any opinions?

Cleaning the gear was not really an issue if I had it to do over again I would do it the same way with the sharp metal pick. It wouldn’t hurt to go over it with a toothbrush after you run the pick over it. The old belt guts are stuck pretty good. I would have removed the tensioner to make it easier. As for brake clean we do allow it in the shop because it smells bad. Bad like it’s bad for you. The best thing to clean brakes with is water. All of the stuff loose inside the rack housing were dry and compressed air did the trick. Thanks for the comment. Hope you have a good year.
