Thanks for your great videos! I bought a 2016 Acadia this year and it’s reaching 100k miles. Previous owner did some of this maintenance already and I will be working on the rest. Hopefully reach many more miles as it’s a great car.
I see a lot of comments with negative things to say about the GMC's. I'm actually watching these videos because I just bought an Acadia. And the REASON that I chose to buy a GMC product, is because I have a GMC Envoy that just went over 301,000 miles a few weeks ago. And counting. Still have it, and will until it's over. The thing is, not only is it still going, but it is still 100% operational and 100% dependable. It doesn't leak, burn, or otherwise lose or consume fluids of any kind. No smoke and no trans slippage. No engine noise. It's unreal. And what's more, it's not even showing any of the typical symptoms that would tell me that the engine or trans are even beginning their decline towards failure. BUT... I acknowledge that the Envoy DOES have the Vortec engine in it. So I really hope that I didn't make a mistake here. Anything specific I outta do, or take a look at on this vehicle? Thanks.
Direct injection engine on these are horrible. At 70k miles I had to spend $2000 to have the injectors replaced. I couldn't believe it. Normal maintenance is a nightmare. Change the oil? Oil filter faces forward and when you take it off, fluid pours everywhere. All over the place. And will keep dripping for a few days as oil gets in places you can't see. Air filter? Good luck with that. Serpentine belt? Lol remove the passenger tire to get at it! Radiator fluid? Have fun with that and pray you don't have to change the thermostat. Seriously these are typically simple DIY jobs but they are a pain on is vehicle. I've had many cars over the years and this one has been the worst. Hell, I have a 2009 C300 and it's better and easier to work on than my 2012 gmc Acadia. Only reason I keep it is because I can't afford a new or used vehicle. I purchased the Acadia new, only owner and it's been garage kept since owned. Imagine if it was kept outside! Lord! Good luck man. I wish you well with your car. You're going to need it.
I have a 2010 Acadia with 225,000 miles and still running strong. Regular oil changes has helped keep the engine problems to a minimum. I have had to put in new injectors and plugs that I ordered thru Amazon for less than $200.00. I grew up working on old school carburetor engines but have learned to adapt to this using trouble codes to diagnose and have managed so far. I guess it really comes down to having patience and lots of it. If all else fails, check here on CZcams a lot good advice from fellow diy owners.
There is no way that I would wait until 100,000 miles to perform most of these services. The manufacturers recommend such long intervals to drive down the total cost of ownership. Of course, I do these fluid replacements myself, so all it costs me is for the fluids. Less that $75 would get me the trans, power steering and brake fluids. Coolant, too. Plus a few hours of my time. :-)
I'm very confused about power steering fluid. Does 2010 traverse take acdelco p/s fluid or dexon VI Transmission fluid? Current fluid color is dark red. Local dealer said my car takes acdelco p/s fluid(no color) instead of dexon VI(red color).
Hello! 1A Auto. First time on your channel. I'm thinking about getting a 2009 GMC Acadia ste-1 I would like to know your opinion on this type of vehicle. It does have 147K mileage, a 3.6L V6 automatic 6-speed
I think I asked this on another one of y’all’s videos but not sure but just in case maybe somebody will see it in the comments and reply…. I have a P0430 code which is a catalyst code…was driving coming up to a light and it did a quick Sputter but was so quick I almost didn’t realize it so I thought when I stop at the light I’ll put it in neutral and give it some gas to see, sure enough it did it again so I pulled over to check and got back in and it wouldn’t start
This is probably a dumb question, but with a FWD still have a transfer case? I’m pretty sure there’s no differential but wasn’t sure about the transfer case. Just curious if there’s another service i still need to do. At 110k miles.
I looooove your videos very informative. I got a quick question... does 2014 acadia has a pcv valve on it? Where is it 👀 I hope to see your response A1
4:00 mark czcams.com/video/5I4valwJquU/video.html My engine has been burning oil and research indicated the PCV valve was to blame. It would not pull out, I wiggled it with vice grips, broke it in the well and had to pay $700 for removal. After hammering the new valve in with a socket over it, I was told it will not come put again without a repeat of the $700 service for removal.
I have the same vehicle 2012 Arcadia I have no check engine lights. The only symptoms I’m having is I’m burning a lot more gas even just sitting idle and I can see the needle moving. Also, at times I had a rough idle at first initial start of the day. And I can’t seem to find the issue.
+Re We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Same here , every 3000 miles with higher viscosity oil than recommended to take care of the possibility of timing chain/guide failure . (07 Acadia at 185k miles)
Most precise camera settings of the fleet surpassing even the Corvette. Notification of lane departure keeps attention where it is important. Driving passengers are a breeze in that sunroof and 4 types of entertainment. Over 400 miles on a tank. Maintain this per industry standards you will get 200 300 thousand miles if you change oil every 3,000 miles. The looks last good until 2030 suggest wax 4 times year and drive less than 8,000 miles on average. Science has found the 2016 Denali Acadia to be safe and effective for transporting medical persons and equipment when there is no need for medical persons traveling at warp speed. And now we have AI and medical equipment that begins to transform into circuits that morfs into antennas with blue tooth codes on self driving. As a consequence the nation elected this section of the world Acadia to Trump over all other modes. Due to the additives injected these heart beat of America are siezzzing up for a sudden surprise stop. This is not a problem because of all the air bags.
They will if you do the regular maintaince, but most people are lazy & don't & wonder why the vehicle broke down. If you take care of your vehicle, then it will take care of you.

Just do regular maintaince like the owners manual says & you'll be good.
Did you ever run any injector cleaner in your gas? I use Lucas fuel/injector cleaner in almost every tank of gas & no issues.
@@mr.homelite8490 With direct injection the intake valves carbon up, fuel cleaner doesn't do any good.
Remember to change the pressure sensors on tires before rotation 😂
Didn't hear it mention but the Heater hoses with the plastic T connector should be replaced preferably with a metal T connectors.
This interval sounds like for any car not just GMC

@@terrytorres7075
Engine oil is not part of the 100k mile service
Yes forget them change the fluids way before their recommendations
This would be awesome for some old corollas! Like 2004! :)
it's all the same maintenance. Just different model.
Watch out; those cabin air filters were optional. Check before you buy one. Personal experience.
Uh oh...I just bought one, without looking!!!

hey brother i have a 2013 acadia denali and i cant get my hand in fuse box any ideas. i bought a curved tool to big though
How about the fuel filter?

When should you change the timing belt/chain?
+Grover Diamond A timing belt typically needs to be replaced between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the vehicle.

Do you have a video on removing the tail light lens off a 2018 Honda fit

What do you do if 2007 gmc acadia makes a rar rar rar sound and vibration while in idle
Sell it, the timing chain is loose and the tensioners are shot. At least $1500 to replace now, if it fails $4000 or more.

Mine still runs and drives great! Of course I do more than turn the key! Do most of this every 50,

Obviously someone has to doit even after you sell it!

Mines still great and approaching 200,
GMC Chevy junk no thank you
Over
Worst engine ever made. Simple things like changing the air filter, oil, serpentine belt and coolant are a total pain. Never again 2012 gmc Acadia
+Bill Boguniecki Thanks for the feedback!
I agree! We have paid dearly for purchasing a 2008 Acadia, biggest pile of crap rig ever built! Shame on you GMC
Don’t think I’ve ever had a vehicle where changing oil and transmission fluids was so simple. 🍀finding something that suits you better
Long story short just don’t buy a GMC Acadia
