Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

Great News! My parts finally arrived and after a ridiculously simple installation, I'm the proud owner of a Vibe with Cruise! :lol: I plan to trek all over the country in this thing so I'm positively thrilled that I could do it so cheaply and easily. I hearty thanks for all the help with the project...

Re: '09 Trans fluid, T-IV versus WS

I was quoted close to 300 bucks for the power flush by the service manager. Ouch! Further inquiry revealed nearly $15 a quart if he provided the fluid! I offered to bring my own and he agreed. I bought ten quarts of Valvoline Maxlife at Advance for $6.50 a quart, which just happens to meet both the ...

Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

Quick update gentleman. I received the correct cover today but not the harness yet. GMPartsDirect has an annoying "handling charge" and they don't list their GM part numbers and for good reason. I always use that to search for the best price. I vow to correct their little oversight and pos...

Re: '09 Trans fluid, T-IV versus WS

Very much obliged for the help/info gentleman. I contacted GM and they put me in touch with a local service manager. You'd think he would have the latest updates and info but he didn't believe me until I gave him the specific TSB number and had him look it up. Unbelievable. So glad to hear from Toyo...

'09 Trans fluid, T-IV versus WS

Now I'm pissed. Bought an '09 with 74k on it and changed the trans fluid with the owners manual recommended T-IV then learn that it's supposed to use the WS. From what I've read the WS fluid is not compatible with the T-IV. The dipstick says WS so I now have approx. 8 quarts of worn out factory WS f...

Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

Righto. I just earned myself the "Mr. Observant" Award! After conducting some meticulous, in depth research (I blundered out and looked at the stupid steering wheel!) I have deduced that there are indeed two small covers on either side of the wheel. So...the switch, harness AND cover plate...

Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

I find this quite odd but I'm having better luck searching this very forum from an outside search engine. Lesson learned. After finally finding more '09 info I'm guessing the higher end models have covers on either side of the wheel but my bare bones model does not and will require some cutting. Tha...

Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

Thank you, thank you, thank you Rayven! That's exactly what I was looking for. I do have a quick question about the covers though, as in why would there be a left and a right? I have a bare bones base model and from what I gathered I'd have to cut a hole in the plastic to accommodate the cruise leve...

Re: Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

Again, I've found plenty of info on the earlier models but none for the later, '09 and above. There must have been an update that year because the switch is different and the wiring under the airbag is different. There are no free wires under there to plug into the switch. If the info is not out the...

Adding cruise to 09 Vibe

I have an 09 Vibe and really want to add CC. I've done my research and found plenty of info on the earlier models but zero for 09 and above. I'd much prefer to simply add the factory switch (ACDelco D1983F Cruise Control Switch ) for $34 but it seems there will be more to it. The older model switche...

Re: air bag safety

Did you ever get your CC installed? I have an 09 and am finding zero information on adding cruise. The rostra kit is 150 but I'd like to know if I can just add the factory switch as in the earlier models. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
