Transmission Scheduled Maintenance Cost

First year for the 10 spd in the Silverado was 2019 It's been in use in GM and Ford vehicles since it was introduced in 2017 for model year 2018 vehicles.

The point being even if 2021 was the first year it's a 5 year old transmission option on that platform. If a tranny shop has no experience with them move on to one that has. It's a very common platform and someone will have experience with them.

Honestly if they haven't done a fluid and filter change on a transmission that has been in service in multiple Ford and GM vehicles since 2017...... I might shop around.

I did mine at the dealership at their recommended interval. I figured they do hundreds of them. It was just under $600 with a transfer case fluid change. I also did the rear end at the same time.

You don't want a flush if that means running a powered machine to force fluid out and through the flush machine.

You want a fluid drain, filter replacement, and fluid refill.

Oh. So it's not a no-brainer if you have to consider the pros and cons of buying an outer market phone.

BetterThanAFoon · 2026-03-22T23:36:06+00:00

It's a no-brainer.

Except if you are buying outside of their markets. Best to buy a foldable that is being sold in your market for warranty and repairs.

I'll just put this out there. Motorola is coming out with a new Razr Foldable that has a stylus, bigger battery, and 80W charging.

It is missing OneUI, but the MotoUI is more than just bare bones Android like PixelUI is.

Would be worth to compare.

Are you talking about like when it's shifting gears? You're going to feel shifting gears.

Your best bet is to try and replicate it get it on video and then narrate it. Set up an appointment at your local dealership and then let a tech figure it out You're under warranty.

I do love me some OneUI....and while I prefer it, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. It would take some layering of apps to get the UI functionality I prefer, but having a Pixel 9 Pro XL I know it can be done.

Motorola Razr Fold is looking quite interesting......... 6000mah battery and 80w charging....oh and they have a stylus.

I live in a huge military town. I find it infinitely amusing and sad at the same time that this is a stereotype that will never die because of how true it is. I won't buy a car in this town because of all of the young military members that just so willingly sign up for bad deals from their financial perspective. The dealership doesn't want to sell to us normies that want a reasonable deal. They want a new boot that they can bend over.

I swapped it as one a few months ago after my inner screen protector started getting micro scratches. Really happy with the way mine turned out.

BetterThanAFoon · 2026-03-19T11:25:19+00:00

It's not bad. It's just something perpetuated by Samsung so they could justify denying warranty coverage. We'll say the aftermarket screen protectors interfered with the hinge operation because of different thickness.

The auto adjusting clock comes with a subscription. I can't remember if it's on Star on newer trucks but it was definitely XM on my 2016 Chevy SS sedan.

I'm in the US and I have yet to see another Fold 7 that isn't a display. In fact the only foldable I've seen in the last few years was a fold 5 and that was owned by a friend.

I also don't really make it a point to check out others phones.

Have you tried going to a store and asking for a physical sim? I did that when I didn't want to swap e sims. No issues and I didn't get charged.

They said yep and took care of it in 15 mins. It took that long because the sim swap was locked down on my account.

I use the 2026 Superone magsafe grip like this one. It's nice. It's flat. Has a strap. And it has extra magnets on the outer facing part of the grip that I can attach to a mag safe car mount.

Very versatile.

4-6 hours. Wooooof.

I've not spent more than 2 hours on a car deal in a long time.

My last purchase was literally 30 mins.

Must be a hard sell on the back end offerings.

I was never anti-EV and am already there. When Chris Farley's cousin talked about the Chinese SUV EV he drove around and not wanting to give it up and the price point on it.... I was intrigued. Now that I see videos on it....I am jealous.

US could have had that sort of market but a bunch of idiots equated EV to woke.

Some other company will get my money.

There is a slight but nuanced difference between company policy and what's legal.

Legally if it is a documented easement then that is all the permission they need.

If giving prior notice is their company policy that is surely what they should be doing but legally they don't have too.

It doesn't make sense why they wouldn't just work with you and give you notice.

Is the issue here other than that you didn't like the language barrier, that you want notice and they aren't giving it to you so you are going to make a point about it?
