Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Last night I finished up my headlight and cleaned up and 2 mins later she came in, she's like why is the oven warm, I was like ummmmmm I made fish sticks lmao

Have you googled that you aren't the first

i wouldn't call what i had air bubbles, but more of blisters. mostly on the edge of the threads, but on the side wall. looks like a big zit or boil or golf ball pushing out from inside the tire. has some as big as a egg.

most of the time its a defect in the tire and will be replaced under most tire warranty's.

like this

I had that once then my tire blew out at 60 mph

Just left dealership and got a free spare tire and rim from a bonne gxp cause they couldn't find the one for my car. Also free alignment and tire balance for new rim....that'll teach them to f*** me over

Car wouldn't start for the second random time. All the lights and everything works but when I turn the key it's a single click. First time I threw the charger on it. Was reading 25% and was 100 in 20 min. Started right up. Second time I went to subway, went inside, came out and did the same thing. Tried jumping it and nothing. Roommate went back later that night and it started right up. Took it to oreily and it tested 100%. Any suggestions? Solenoid? BCM? Ignition switch?

Sounds like it could be a bad battery or solenoid. Both of which aren't hard to replace on our gxp's

Battery is brand new. I don't want to think its that, but I know there's still a possibility.

Installed PLOG, new intake setup, alternator v.booster and cable and tranny conditioner.Car pulls real nice and SC whine is even louder now especially revving which is what i wanted more of.

Searching for replacement weather stripping on GMPartsdirect.com. got bored and found the special edition heat extractors. Only $291 a piece...

ive had it happen for no reason at all, no impacts, curb jumping, nothing but driving, had 2 golf ball blisters on the tire. it was replaced for free. it was a known issue i guess back when this happened to me.

and thats not my tire, its just a example i found. good chance thats why that tire is bulging like that being its on a truck.
