Mike534x replied to the thread What did you do to your GMT today? [Part II].I've seen that at the dealership as well, during my brief service writer stint. I'm playing it safe, and requesting that the senior tech be the one to work on it this time. Oh I also need to...

Mike534x replied to the thread Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash.Yeah it's a bizarre way of things unfolding right? Why would the ignition switch cause one of the fan speeds to stop working on the HVAC? Who knows. Everything I've read on here, and the old site...

Mike534x replied to the thread What did you do to your GMT today? [Part II].Well that didn't take long, went to move the Envoy at work and saw a fresh spot of oil. Sure enough I get home, and see little droplets as it's running in the driveway. :Banghead:

Mike534x replied to the thread What did you do to your GMT today? [Part II].Definitely, I'm going to keep an eye on it to make sure everything is good! I appreciate the heads up. My main concern was the fact they dropped it twice, so that helps with being on alert.

Mike534x replied to the thread Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash.With a scan tool, did your truck pull any codes regarding the ABS, and Brake warnings lights? I had a very similar problem with my Envoy. I'd have a phantom ABS/Brake light pop on on startup, or...

If your tune also included a delete of the codes for the EV fan clutch, you could get a regular thermal clutch for a 2008. The EV clutches are so bad that even GM went back to the old fashion...

Mike534x replied to the thread Catalytic Converter Compatibility.They are legit, customer service/communication is on the meh side to be honest. I've had better service using GM Parts Direct. Why not just go with a universal CAT from Walker or Magnaflow and...
