one else ever notice the check guages light in the fbody actualy show " check Gages" lol guages is spelled wrong just thought ide throw that out there

 

Lol, yep!
I found it funny myself.

 

What's more funny is "check gages" is spelled more correctly than "check guages" . Because gauge is spelled gage or gauge depending on where you live. Many GM cars/trucks say that on it. They have been doing it for close to 20 years that I know of. Remember our cars are built in canada.

 

I noticed that when the light first came on, I, in all my humbleness, lol, even questioned my own spelling. The only thing I can think of is the Canadian manufacturing and being so close to the French language they may have got it wrong.

 

haha thats funny i ran to the garage to check it

 

It's funny that you don't even know how to spell gauges yourself

 

thats how they spell it on all cars? my dads nissan is the same way?

 

i think the mispelling of check gauges originated from the leadman at the oshawa plant let the same engineer that designed the LTx ignition system print the cluster. then it carried over to the LSx platform, like the cat hump.

 

That's awesome. And possibly true...

 

i always knew it was like that in my t/a, but only discovered a 96/97 Chevy truck i have at work says the same thing

 

Actually guys, that is considered a correct way to spell it. It is acceptable spelled either gauges or gages. I didn't know it either but I had an advanced electrical class this past semester and my instructor made a distinct point of instructing us that we will see both spellings. He used to be an instructor for General Motors.

 

ha... I actually had to go out and check that..

 

dam interesting stuff never looked closely at that lol

 

ive never noticed that.

 

Some people obviously do not get acquainted with their cars closely enough.

 

My buddy and I noticed that last year. Every GM car we've looked in has been that way.

 

I noticed it the first time I sat in my car when I was at the seller's house. I told my friend and when we got back to KC one of the first things he did was turn on his 2000 Z28 to see if it was the same way.

 

Never noticed.

 

yeah but im just a commoner i expected GM to get it right , but like you guys say there is more than one way to spell it i guess.

 

My car has gauges spelled correctly I'll have to double check but im 99% sure its correct. Weird.
