Car looks great. Love Typhoon green. If you had spec’d the Parking Package and PDR on the 2025, then the price of the 2026 was a nice surprise.
Regarding the calipers and the Precision Package, the choice of a caliper color is free and also mandatory. So while non-PP can be had with grey...
My car has been hooked up to a battery tender for days and the update still failed. So the battery may be one of the causes, but it probably is not the only one.
Diff fluid is a good idea but GM does not require a break-in service for it unless you plan on tracking the car.
My car direct from the factory had a terrible alignment. Not surprised yours does as well.
Car looks great!
Yeah that did not happen after driving more than 30min after being stationary for days. So either the sensors I bought do not work with the 2025 or the automatic learning process does not work.
According to this post, the car needs to be put into learning mode. I have no idea how to do that on a 2025. 2022-24 cars are straight forward as there is a menu option. I could not find a TPMS learning mode item anywhere in the 2025 infotainment system...
I was just reminded of this video that discusses all of the modern tech that goes into a manual transmission. We think of them as “old tech” but they are quite modern. I completely forgot our cars have ‘no lift shift’.
Suspension changes are a slippery slope. Lower the car and you affect the alignment and need shorted swaybar end links. Stiffen the springs and you might go outside the range the shock is meant to work with. You may also need to play with swaybars to keep the car so it maintains neutral handing...
A decent mechanic will measure the brake pad thickness and tell you exactly how much is left and not just say “they look worn”.
Also, there are wear sensors. So unless that warning has triggered then they are not in need of replacement (if all you do is street driving).
Dustin did step away for a while about a year ago but he came back a few months later. Unless he has stepped away a second time within the past couple of months, he is still the Blackwing King. I picked up a car from him 2 months ago.
