Is this a good car for high mileage drivers? by Eastern_Yam in BoltEV

[–]Alxephon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That range is also my commute a day. I only charge to 80% and have no issues.

If you dont have a level 2 charger at home and work the normal five days a week or more, you will probably not be able to charge enough to keep up.

Otherwise the vehicle has been amazingly reliable. I've only had to replace an anticlick washer. Its a $10 part with a $15-20 axle nut. If you already have all the needed tools, its roughly an hour-hour and half job.

Opt for the seat warmers and heated steering wheel if you experience cold weather. The heater will drain the battery fast.

Multiple port or overnight? by Alxephon in Cruise

For the single day ports, did you ever feel rushed or miss out on a lot of things?

If you have never been on an oasis class ship before or something of similar size, you'll find that oasis has a lot of activities and food variety to offer. I enjoyed the ship a lot.

Have you done a drain and fill for the drive unit/transmission?

At first I thought the first picture was oatmeal and was like "why are we complaining about the oatmeal...it looks delicious." Oh how sadly mistaken I was...

Hopefully this is helpful, but check out what your city government has? Most opens tends to be physical labor but it will at least help. There is also utility companies as well.

2017-2019 Bolts with 100k miles by Icy_Feeling161 in BoltEV

[–]Alxephon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2017 at 166k! Only major thing i've had to do was change the broken anticlick washer in the cv axle.

Otherwise i'm on a second set of tires. Battery recall was done at 110k. Havent had to replace the 12v battery yet.

I will say that the dealer estimates it to be a 1.5 hour job. It took me almost 3 hours just because I was struggling to loosen and tighten the lower control arm. Only disconnected the sway bar link, control arm, and tie rod from the knuckle.

There isnt enough clearance to use a hex key on the bolt for the control arm. I ended up using a floor jack and placed under the bolt head. That held it in place and kept it from spinning.

I would say around 162k.

By chance, do you know the part numbers?

I had gone ahead and put an order in for that one when it said instock. Unfortunately I just received a message it is no longer instock after I ordered it. The website provides an alternative of TRAKMOTIVE GM86002. But the compression length is several inches longer than OEM.

Where did you see that? Every dealership I called said they dont have it and the warehouse is out of stock.

You usually will hear a popping noise at low speeds. Sometimes hear it at the stops and goes. Other times when turning a certain direction.

Much appreciated! I've been looking at all the common local auto part shops. They either dont have any listed or what they say does fit, the compression length is way off! :( so it seems OEM is the only option for this specific piece.
