    2018 Equinox auto stop/start not kicking in

    I was getting frustrated with the Start-Stop system and it inconsistencies so I figured out a small modification to permanently disable it. All the information of how the Auto Stop-Start system works is in the GM Service manual. It only takes a bit of tweaking to disable it. The circuit you...

    2018 Equinox auto stop/start not kicking in

    The battery has something to do with it. I ran the battery low in service mode syncing my TPSM and the auto start stop stopped working for a few weeks. I disconnect the battery for a few minutes and after reconnecting it it started to work fine again immediately. (Actually contrary to what the...

    BTW: I tried numerous mud flaps and they don't help. See the lip along the side near the bottom of your doors. That is the best thing for deflecting dirt away from a car. And most cars now have it built in.

    dust

    Here is a really out of the box idea that I would try but I dont have my Equinox yet. I think the spoiler is bolted to the side mounts . If so extend the bolts and with washers raise the spoiler half an inch so it forces air under to the window like a scoop. It may be "mission impossible"...

    dust

    I dont have my Equinox yet but had the same problem with my last two square back cars. Seems the spoiler creates a vortex to give you better gas mileage but messes with the rear window. Last car I pulled the spoiler off and it was a lot better. Had to put it on for the tail light so I just...

    2018 Equinox 18" or 19" Rims

    Tires are consumable parts so i am not really concerned what I will have on the nox for a few summers. Just concerned with the rim size (ie sidewall height) how that affects ride and pothole endurance and long term tire cost. Winter I will have full snows on 18" or 17" steel rims. With the...
