Don’t forget to look for aftermarket parts if you’re budget-conscious! I’ve had great luck with certain brands, like AC Delco.

Aftermarket can be hit or miss. I went with a 2015 Malibu part from eBay and it didn’t fit at all. Please measure twice!
So true! I learned that the hard way too. Genuine parts are pricier, but they usually ensure a better fit.
I totally agree, genuine parts are often worth the investment. I never trust ‘cheap’ parts after a bad experience with my alternator!
Has anyone replaced the fuel pump? I’m considering it but not sure about the complexity. Would love any tips!
[quote=“marcus42, post:9, topic:7124”]Not sure about the complexity…</quote]The fuel pump isn’t bad, but you’ll need a good diagram! I used the one from the dealer’s site, which helped a lot.
LOL, good luck with that! Just make sure not to drop anything into the tank. You wouldn’t want to play the ‘fishing’ game!
I had to fish out one of my nuts a while back… My mechanic was not amused. Those tanks can be tricky!
Too true! It’s like an unexpected game show. Points for creativity but a hassle nonetheless!

Hey, I know some people have issues with the headlights. Anyone else had to replace those? I’m looking for easy replacement tips.
I had to swap mine last year, and a diagram made it less hassle. Just be careful with the clips!

You can usually find parts diagrams on forums dedicated to Chevy vehicles as well. They’re often crowd-sourced, so rely on multiple users to keep them updated.
Sometimes those diagrams don’t show wear and tear symptoms well. Has anyone experienced premature part failures?
Yes! I’ve had issues with the water pump leaking, which wasn’t clearly marked in the diagram. You need to visually inspect when troubleshooting.
That’s exactly right! Regularly checking for leaks can prevent bigger issues down the line. Don’t miss out on routine maintenance!
