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

My shed is stuffed. I had 10 wheels/tires piled up. I have all for sale on CL and whatever got an offer was leaving. Now I have 6.

Sold the chrome rims. Got $275. Picked up a set of vue wheels for $50 last month to sell. Or use.. Little plain. But, they work.

Got these. 16” equinox wheels. Fit my vue too. Spares. Sold 03/19

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

Found these for $40. Might use them though 17”x8” 02/15 got $80 core credit.

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.
