It's also funny to note that the poster of that image, himself, said the arrow had nothing to do with the discussion. Judging from the OP's original issue(s), having something like that (instead of the correct lifting guide) for a first reply is relatively dangerous.

After re-reading my post, I fail to see where any offense was intended or could have been taken. This one is a head scratcher, personally...

Thanks guys, it was my fault that I did not stay with my gear head son. His logic seamed ok, if only I was not in a hurry. Guess what, I bought to drive, not to kneel to, I have only one idle and He exist in my world. "first one with the most toys gets be next to St. Peter!"

Mistakes happen - don't beat yourself up. At least the replacement is cheap!

And hey, it might not even be broken.

That is why I am on no social media, people try to pull you in & and in & in by chumming your water. I have to answer some child psychology remark. Its a $500 max fix, I did not have my right arm cut off! My owesy guys are on shut down "(guys that know everything about GM)", should know that. I love what I have learned I will give back. Positive point, no there is no crack, and it may settle back, now that is a guy not waiting on a meteor to hit him.

The Owner's Manual pic on lifting points is a bit hard to read at that size. Here is a colored version with a warning about not lifting on the spring!

Hope you guys liked the oil info, someone should start a thread and hash over it contents. Send me an email if you do, I would find time for that discussion.

Like i said before there always some moron that talks out of his A@@ with no facts. Chumming the water because they do not want to read. Wants someone to give him a short cut with a **** off! He guys, its been great, I will still learn from here, I gave up my oil info and tire pressure, we are square. Monday I'll call the senior engineer that designed the c7 front end for my problem. You guys have F@@k@@g Einsteins here. Its to bad, I could have brouht more to the table. I can get ahold of anybody at GM. erikszr1, is your go to person, have a nice summer!
