I just traded in my 2012 Suburban for a new one and after four years here is the equivalent list...

replace one daytime running light bulb (last week)

They don't make them like they used to!?!? Thank God!
Amen, brother! My 129,000 mile 2008 Sierra Denali has needed VERY little besides mostly self-inflicted stuff.

Unfortunately the newer vehicles are SO reliable and trouble-free that it's killing my auto repair business!

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
