Perfect fit for Traverse 2015 (but fell out after a few months)

UPDATE: last month it didn't work for me. So I decided to order another one from another seller. Replaced and problem solved. Let's see if they live up to the lifetime guarantee. Original post: I ordered this to replace the purge valve on our 2015 crosshead. Installation was easy: - Remove the oil filler cap. (Place a rag in the oil filler hole to prevent dirt and debris from entering in the next step.) - Remove the engine cover (just pull up on the sides) - Disconnect the vacuum hose. - Disconnect the wiring harness. - Loosen the screw by 10mm (a socket wrench is recommended for play) - Remove the old part - Replace with a new part - Tighten the 10mm screw and make sure the vacuum port is open Threaded side is installed correctly while driving - Reconnect vacuum hose - Reconnect wiring harness - Install engine cover - Remove rag and install oil cap. READY! I've seen other reviews for other similar replacements saying the 10mm bolt isn't the same thread as the original part and they ended up having to reuse the old bolt. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. The screw on this replacement is perfectly tightened! The part was only installed 2 days so I will update my review in a few months to see if it works properly or not. But so far so good. CEL no longer exists!
