Here's my orange dial titanium diver.

Nice. I have 3 Ecodrives in my collection. I'll try to find some pictures.

I had to cut the collar off my shower faucet and you can get a new one from Amazon. I used a Danco a few years ago and it's still working; not leaking. Edit: I got a Delta for free in the mail because they have a lifetime warranty but haven't used it yet.

I think that the latest Dexos spec is more for turbocharged with direct injection motors. Personally, I would use it.

Caulking strips is what we used at the body shop. I forgot about this stuff. Wrap a little around the studs on the light so it seals up any holes where the light attaches to the body.

JB Weld makes a special two part clear epoxy just for plastic. That's how I would fix it if it's just a crack.

The fluid changes on GM cars are about as straight-forward as it gets for a DIYer. Plug on the bottom of the trans, fill plug near LH axle (usually have to remove the front tire for access). Drain and add fluid until it runs out of fill/level plug, start the car and add until it runs out with...

Nice. I almost bought an Equinox and looked at those when I got my Cadillac XT4 but the only thing that stopped me was the Caddy was assembled in the USA. Very nice car, though. I don't remember which transmission is in that but drain and fill it every 30,000 or so miles. My Caddy had dirty...

I use Milton pencil gauges and the one I keep in the car is 30 years old, maybe older. It's within a couple pounds of the pressure monitor on my car ('23 Caddy XT4).

Just an educated guess but that motor needs 20W-50, esp. when doing dyno runs at full power like that.

The body shop probably used an aftermarket bedside. Nowadays they fit well but the quality can still be sketchy with the use of thin and/or low quality steel.

Most body shops don't guarantee rust repairs anyways.

FWIW the G80 rear in my 2012 Silverado doesn't use friction modifier either. I just use the cheap NAPA brand 80W-90 when it's on sale and change it every 25,000 miles.

I wonder if those would shift better/last longer with ULV fluid, but I'm just brainstorming out loud. FWIW my wife had a '12 Equinox FWD six speed and it was decent. No issues.

That's pretty high for $2,500. I'm wondering what the dealer gave the previous owner for trade. Anyways, I would offer maybe $1,500 and go from there if there's no rusted out brake lines, etc. Check that exhaust, too. Like someone mentioned, it could be a stolen cat.

I think 15W-40 should work. FWIW I use NAPA brand 10W-30 full syn in my generator and sometimes in my Briggs 17.5 riding mower.

For my truck (GMT900) I got General Grabbers. They were on the truck when it was new and the tires rode nice, got decent traction and lasted 40,000 miles. Only difference was these Grabbers are made in USA and the stock ones were MX.

The 3.1 motor was good and so was the TH125 (I think) transmission. I'm a huge GM fan, though.

The only cars I've never had any issue with in the first 5 years were a 2018 Mustang GT I bought new and my 2012 Silverado I bought new in 2012. Even the new Cadillac had its first issue (EVAP code and they replaced the purge pump under warranty). The Silverado had only one CEL for a fuel tank...

Drain Plug I don't know if this is called an integrated gasket or technically an o-ring plug, but I have used these forever w/o problems and you can reuse it indefinitely.
