My torrent has odd cooling system performance.
i can drive nonstop and heat is fine.
if I stop the hot vents soon go cool.
if I drive with ac in summer and stop, the temp gauge starts to rise.
i have never seen it overheat While moving 10mph and above
raising idle to 1200 rpm or higher makes...
Sold my torrent wheels and put my spare steel rim set on. I saw some used torrent wheels last week. Might get them. Maybe.
only have terrain wheels now.
I bought a 2010 equinox w/2.4 that had a new timing chain but bum trans. i drained black trans fluid and refilled but I had 1-2 gears but no 3rd up. I let it sit for 2-3 months after I found out used trans was $2000+. And rebuild was more. Then I sold it.
Found a set of these. GMC Terrain. 19”. So so tires. $80 but they are 5x120. Won’t fit my equinox 5x120 is 2010 to 2017? I think 2018 and newer equinoxes went back to 5x115
sold 4/20
Another sale tomorrow. 50% off. Found 3 nice 2010 equinox wheels/tires for $11 each. I like to buy them when I see them.
02/21 Got the equinox wheels.
02/23 Sold wheels
Mpls, mn. Had 30% sale last week. They want $22 for wheel/tire but $20 core for alum rims. I had a set of junk rims but a reg price with no cores is $160 total. I rarely find steel wheels for suvs.
i have good luck finding free rims. Got some Porsche rims this summer. Bmw wheels. Usually pay...
Got a set of these yesterday for $89. Have 3/4 tread Bridgestone tires. Thought it was a good deal. Yard had a nice set of some alum rims too. 3 sets to choose from. Always had good luck at this yard.
got a set last week for $120 and sold them for $260. So, I made money.
I just saw the oil monitor symbol flash on my 05 equinox. I think I reset it within the last 6 months and I only have a few thousand miles. The 05 does not have a DIC so I don’t have a % oil reading to go by. The 08 equinox is behaving. The orange symbol has not come back on.
Ha. You plan on keeping it for 100k miles more? Is that 5+ years? I tried the $35 China bearings. I’ve bought a dozen over 5 yrs for 5 different rigs. Fix em, sell em. But, I have kept the vue and have done 1 wheel 3 times in 5 yrs. so, I would say stay away from the $35 ones.
a local yard sells...
And I still haven’t got to my torrent to do heads. i have 2 others cars and the torrent sorta sits if I don’t feel like driving it. Too bad my dads heated shop is 100mi away. Maybe I should visit him more?
its 26’ deep so there is a ton of room in front of car to move around in.
