Commonly Asked Chevy Questions and Answers
What is the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system, and is it true that it can cause engine problems?
Active Fuel Management (AFM), and its newer version Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM), is a GM technology designed to improve fuel economy by deactivating a set of engine cylinders under light load conditions. While effective for fuel savings, this system puts extra strain on a specific set of valve lifters. Over time, these AFM lifters can fail, becoming stuck or collapsing. This can lead to a misfire, a ticking noise from the engine, a “check engine” light, and in some cases, can cause damage to the camshaft. Proactive maintenance with high-quality oil and addressing any performance issues early are key to the longevity of these systems.
My Chevy truck or SUV’s transmission shudders or shifts harshly. What causes this?
This is a very common issue, particularly in vehicles equipped with the 8-speed automatic transmission. The “Chevy Shudder” is often caused by the original factory transmission fluid degrading and absorbing moisture, which changes its friction properties and causes the torque converter clutch to apply unevenly. In many cases, a complete transmission fluid flush with the correct, updated type of fluid can resolve the issue if caught early. However, if the problem persists, it could indicate internal wear that requires a more in-depth diagnosis.
What are the most important services to keep my Chevy running reliably past 100,000 miles?
Beyond regular oil changes, two areas are critical for the long-term health of modern Chevrolets. First is the transmission service; changing the fluid and filter at the recommended interval is the single best way to prevent premature wear. Second, on engines like the 3.6L V6 found in the Traverse, the timing chain can be a concern. Using high-quality oil and keeping it clean is essential, as dirty oil can cause the chain guides and tensioners to wear out, leading to a costly replacement job. Regular inspections and listening for any new engine noises are key to catching these issues early.
Will using an independent shop for service void my new Chevrolet’s factory warranty?
No, it will not. Your warranty is protected by federal law—specifically the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. This law ensures that you have the right to take your vehicle to any qualified shop of your choice for maintenance and repairs without impacting your factory warranty. We protect your investment by using parts that meet or exceed GM’s standards and by meticulously documenting all services according to the factory-recommended schedule.
Do you use official GM or ACDelco parts for Chevy repairs?
Yes, we use the best parts for the job and always give you options. We can source “GM Genuine Parts” directly from the dealership, but for the best value, we primarily use ACDelco parts. ACDelco is GM’s official parts brand, and they offer different tiers, such as their top-quality “Gold” (formerly “Professional”) line. In many cases, these are the exact same parts as the “GM Genuine” ones, just in different packaging. We have the expertise to select the right part for the repair, ensuring quality while providing better value than the dealership.
What’s the advantage of bringing my Chevy to your shop versus a large dealership?
Our advantage lies in providing specialized expertise with a more personal and direct service experience. At a dealership, you often communicate only with a service advisor, and your vehicle may be worked on by various technicians. Here, you have direct access to our knowledgeable Service Manager who oversees your vehicle’s entire repair process. This ensures clear communication, a more accurate diagnosis, and a trusting relationship. We combine this personal attention with the technical expertise and diagnostic tools you expect, offering a better overall value for your time and money.
