CTS's, particularly the CTS-Vs, but not exclusive to the V's, have whining issues with their differentials.  Hopefully the 09 CTS-V, with it's serious power increase over the older models, has this solved.  They are nice cars, but I tend to put 100,000s of thousands of miles on my vehicles, and look for things that don't have known issues going in.

I hadn't heard that about the regular CTS's. I knew the CTS-V's had issues with wheel hop on hard acceleration and breaking differentials because of this.

Try http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/resources/2005/owners_manual.html

Scroll down to maintenance schedule. Or just look in the back of your owners manual.

I can easily find out what GM wants me to do (to spend more money at their dealerships) but I want to know what the REAL WORLD (well as close as we are here to it  :evil5: ) recommends!

Just clocked 60,000 on the odometer today.  What are the recommended maintenance items at 60,000?



Sounds like it's just getting broke in!!   :thumbsup:
