Thank you Sir! I am making a list for same ‘19 Traverse at little over 100k. I hear a small ticking noise and after replacing the evap canister now off to plugs. Quick question, what did you use to clean the surface of both sides where plenum gasket is installed. Again, great video. Men like you is how us other men learn to work on our own cars and keep money otherwise spent on expensive mechanic services.
I have the 2018 traverse AWD LT. Looks pretty easy to do routine maintenance on the vehicle by far. I did the transmission fluid change and it was quite easy. The oil change was even much easier to do for me. No fuss whatsoever. Thats how i like my vehicle to be. I just not too long ago swap out the front grill to a black out grill. No fuss eother. This is how a proper car should be made. Everything all easy to access and maintain. On your video I notice that when you was griping about the intake baffle piece. I was wondering if that can be takened off and not be put back on? Since all it does is for noise reduction.
I wouldn’t see an issue at all with it, but the change in airflow may upset the computer and cause a CEL, as these more modern cars are way more tight in their parameters than earlier EFI cars.
Spark Plug Service Interval is 97,500 miles. Would you want to pull all that intake plenum BS off to change a coil pack a few thousand miles after doing the plugs? You already have to remove the coil packs to access the plugs. Why gamble? We bought coil packs from the OEM supplier and boxed up the original “still good” coil packs up as spares just in case.
I just replace the spark plug because it is over 80,000 miles. The spark plug is good for 150,000 miles, but I just change it anyways while cleaning the carbon build-up on the intake valve so might as well change it now and keep the old ones for back up. I got the better spark plug by NGK RUTHENIUM. Which is much better in high temp.

You’re welcome! Just brake clean on a microfiber is all I used to clean. Not really dirty or anything.
Thank you

Can you share what video you may have followed for the Transmission Fluid change for the Traverse 2018 please?
I like your video. Why did you replace the spark plugs & ignition coils? Maybe because regular maintenance service?

Ok got it. Thankyou
