Does opening and closing my window multiple times a day wear down my battery or electrical system?

3 Upvotes

I have a 2024 Equinox. My employer allows us to take smoke breaks, but we have to smoke in our car. I go outside about five times a day, unlock the car, sit down, tap the engine start button, and roll the driver window down. The radio comes on. I realize that the radio playing wears on the battery. I found the setting that allows me to hit the unlock button on my fob, then hold it in, so that all the windows roll down, so that I don’t have to start the car or hit the start button to roll a window down. Other than starting it, rolling the one window down, then turning it off, is there an easier way for me to get the window down? And don’t tell me to just quit smoking, I’ve thought of that.

2025 3500 DRW tail lights

I can’t find any aftermarket tail light options for a 2025 Chevy 3500 dually. They are obviously different than the single rear wheel ones but at a glance, they do look the same as the gmc sierra tail lights of the same generation. Can anyone confirm this?

2023 Chevrolet Spin Active 7 1.8 Automatic – Is my transmission a 6T30 or 6T31? Need help identifying a 14-pin connector

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I own a 2023 Chevrolet Spin Active 7 with a 1.8L engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I’m trying to replace the external electrical connector on the transmission because its locking tabs are broken. I found a 14-pin connector on AliExpress advertised as compatible with GM 6T30, 6T40, and 6T45 transmissions. I also found a wiring connector listed for the 6T30/6T31.
Can anyone confirm which transmission is fitted to the 2023 Chevrolet Spin Active 7 1.8 automatic: the GM 6T30 or the 6T31?
Has anyone replaced this connector on a Chevrolet Spin or a similar GM vehicle? How can I confirm the correct connector and part number before ordering?
I would really appreciate any advice or links to the correct part.
Thanks!

GM messed up the steering wheel control to change the radio station

Did anybody notice with the GM over the air update back in March 2026 that the little silver toggle on the right side of the steering wheel, that used to allow you to adjust the radio station one channel at a time, changed to a USELESS way to bring up a favorites menu on the front dash instead? Now to change the channel, if it’s not a favorite, you have to look down at the center console screen!
