  Wiring is actually one of my favorite things when it comes to cars. I never understood why people have an issue with it. What’s REALLY hard is body and paint. As for the alternator wire, routing it along the sway bar is not the best idea. It is both vulnerable and subject to lots of movement (which can cause it to fail). Much better would be to route it on the radiator support. Also, given the consequences of a short, it would be best to use some plastic conduit to protect it. A large fuse/fusible link is also a good idea.

  Good tip! I agree that body and paint are much more difficult and more boring to me than wiring.

  Hey, I'm looking at a 2013 on an online auction where the description states "low pressure valve core leaking". Any ideas on what they could be talking about? ac? Thank you

  Greetings all, this is an older video, but I’m just seeing it for the first time. I’ve had my 06 TBSS for about a year and a half now and love it! Your low oil pressure is not normal. Mine idles at 42 psi when hot and purrs like a big cat. I don’t have the same thing you experience with unlocking with the remote. You might want to check your remote settings In the driver information center. Regarding trailer lighting, I have a round 7 to 4 flat connector permanently installed with the four flat connector zip tied to the Left chain loop with a few inches of slack. Normally it is tucked in by the hitch receiver. When I need it, pull it out and plug it in. No big deal. Work smarter, not harder. Mine is mostly stock except a K&N cold air intake and resonator delete and averages 14.9 miles per gallon. Not sure why yours is lower. When was your last tuneup? And regarding snow buildup, I keep mine in the garage. Funny how two people with the same vehicle can have totally different experiences.

  Sounds like you have a great example of a trailblazer ss! My oil pressure issue was fixed by changing oil filter brands. Definitely different experiences, two different applications as well!

  I live in Australia and my father first owned a 2002 5.7L V8 model, then a 2010 (V6) model of this generation and now he owns the 2015 (V6) model of the Caprice. Rest assured, the Australian caprice's are tonnes better than this. It's to the point where none of the issues that he has mentioned exist in our car. Except for the weight but hey, it's a luxury sedan and cruiser. Great video though nonetheless. It's sucks to see how America always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to holden vehicles. The chevy SS is also another example. I just wish GM could've continued the manufacturing of these Holden vehicles.
