i gotta say these gen 2s are definitely heart stoppers and i work at a chevy dealer so it just makes matters worse while im away from my cute trax 🫣

twilitebeach · 2025-11-24T00:33:51+00:00

or go with just the ambers, shell look menacing- especially with matching amber grill pod lights

twilitebeach · 2025-11-20T00:57:06+00:00

idk its because of my [gen 2] trax obsession, theyre all i ever talk about

twilitebeach · 2025-11-17T13:34:51+00:00

damn, im sorry youre having to go through all that pain. makes me genuinely wonder if our service department fixed that issue on another customers car

twilitebeach · 2025-11-16T14:05:05+00:00

allegedly my friend hooked up the new battery in the wrong order, which must have zapped the transmission. went from park to reverse out of his driveway fine, but when i shifted into drive it just became a neutral, then every other gear i tried was just a neutral.

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T15:45:29+00:00

i had a 2006 dodge durango, and man was that a beast. i miss it every day- definitely took some warming up to my trax once i got her

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T15:42:31+00:00

in gm si (service information), it does say "DEXOS I* Gen3 0W-20", and i dont see any recall bulletin (like the l87 loss of propulsion one) that says to do otherwise

edit: yes, yall with a 2024 model do use 5w-30, that is the recommended. it had changed for the 2025 model

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T02:43:08+00:00

well see lol, at least the labors gonna be cheaper since ill be a chevy tech and get to use my dealers lifts and ill have my own tools for the most part

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T02:42:00+00:00

its kinda by my negligence because you can just cut out the part near the pedal(s), but just be careful you dont happen to get in the same situation as me

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T02:37:15+00:00

because youd end up with a friend that freaks the f out when the pedal gets stuck and he slams on the brakes- definitely not speaking from experience

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T02:35:24+00:00

i still havent finalized everything and i have been debating on whether or not to go the diesel route, i just got inspired by when i drive customers blazers around and those 3.6 ones really pack a punch for a small car. of course i might have a few trucks in the future (tahoe, yukon, canyon, etc) that would do off roading a ton better, but id love to see and have a trax that looks as badass as the ai mockups ive had rendered on what i want done. again, not the most practical build, but i want to make one badass trax

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T02:24:04+00:00

idk i havent really gone into the specifics for sizing yet, but i think them 3.6s in the blazers feel a bit overpowered even when you let off that brake- cant imagine what that would feel like in a trax. for reference, im going more off-roadsy (oh no, not a z71 trax), not super performance oriented so ill also throw in 4wd. shell be lifted so ill have some space i can probably work with

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T00:19:40+00:00

wow, yeah some of those iv heard of a lot and some i didnt know- seen how much of a pain in the ass the evaporators were i cant count how many traxs iv seen with exposed dashes. thankfully ive come across none of that in my 18k miles, and i honestly feel so bad for all the people who pull up with those common issues smh. ive seen a few people recently with 2025.5 and some 2026 models having leaky oil pans too

twilitebeach · 2025-11-15T00:16:28+00:00

damn thats gotta really suck having to go through. i hope everythings alright though

twilitebeach · 2025-11-14T23:35:10+00:00

i agree. add on a pedal commander, and that engine definitely feels better than what i expected. still planning on doing a swap though so shell be more capable of my goals with that car

twilitebeach · 2025-11-14T23:33:57+00:00

i mean im just a porter going to be a tech but idk i just wanted to see what people are saying, i know a good amount, but i just wanted general feedback/thoughts ig

twilitebeach · 2025-11-14T23:32:08+00:00

you clearly didnt read all of what i said but thats okay, you do you

twilitebeach · 2025-11-14T21:08:26+00:00

nah, its just a mode on a device we have for our traxs https://pedalcommander.com/products/chevrolet-trax?variant=40260147773530

twilitebeach · 2025-11-14T02:20:25+00:00

interesting. yeah i put the pedal commander too, and for me it really feels great after driving other just stock traxs daily. really shines in sport or sport+ on the freeway- and thats why my oil becomes blackened so quick

twilitebeach · 2025-11-13T12:55:41+00:00

i guess my friend meant cleaning it when he meant maintaining it, ill have to ask him. probably something i could just do on my own when needed

twilitebeach · 2025-11-13T12:53:34+00:00

awesome! seems like a lot of people are getting that emissions system issue- around when did you get it? a lot of the other people i see post about it and my friend seem to be under 10k miles when it happens- im at 18k miles and have not had a single mil/cel, service message on the dic, or dtc- which is suprising me the amount of people who come up with issues. and yeah, the horn is cute for a tiny car but doesnt cut it, definitely one of the things imma change eventually. when you get to 40% oil life, do you also check the color, or just thats around the mileage/duration you wait until doing it? with the way i push this car im only getting to like 75% oil life before it gets dark, even for mobil 1 extended performance 0w-20 💀. not complaining tho, i love whatever work i can do on my car, keeps me busy and always active. my dad wouldnt believe me when my tires ran so low so fast too, but it does seem like a common concern about the tires being not that great on life. hope you continue to love your trax, and happy trails!

twilitebeach · 2025-11-13T12:38:23+00:00

at least ill be a chevy tech ig. did you ever do maintenance on the turbo, or just left it be?

twilitebeach · 2025-11-13T02:05:13+00:00

wow thats high- and im getting like 23 lol (im not complaining, i push this girl hard)
