Most fasteners are monitored 100% that a specified torque range is met. Sometimes this includes reaching a torque and then doing a bit more on top (torque + angle). Any problem reaching that torque...

I have to wonder if this is why the cars were held and reworked in Pontiac and Penske. Late 2023 and early 2024... mine was one of them.

They kept shipping cars throughout that whole ordeal......

Z51 brings brake dust and summer tires which are things I didn't want, without anything that really benefits a street car (my .02). So I went with magride and perf exhaust options, but no Z51.

No issue with a large screen, I just don’t like it when they look like an ipad on a cellphone mount. Integrated into the dash is fine. I think we will eventually see the boomerang style screen that...

This is basically my nightmare situation for a GM interior. Mass swaths of glossy plastic, no buttons, and the now classic tacked-on tablet solution. There's way too many problems with this for it...

From my limited experience the recommended forum vendors give fair prices that have been less than half of other dealership quotes I've received. It makes the long time plans pretty attractive.
