Weird problem on a stock 2011 Z06 Carbon: The engine cooling fan comes on when A/C pressure climbs into the range found in the fan control chart in the tune file. And I can turn on / control the percentage of speed for the engine cooling fan with the bi-directional controls in my scanner. But...

2005 Vette, 6spd, 110k miles. The original E40 failed at 6 years. The replacement E40 has now failed (also at 6years). Maybe it is just acoincidence. Maybe not. But clearly the E40 was a 1 to 2 year bridgeECM to the E38/E67 and may have not been GM’s best effort. Friends in the ECM repair...

About 4 months back I asked Corvettes of Houston about a C6 CL Bypass. They said the were not planning one. If there is a CL Bypass for a C6, I'd sure like to know about it. My "Service Column Lock" happened at about 34,000 miles. Dealer had it three times. In the end they replaced the Body...

I work part time in a local Corvette performance shop and about 70% of the C6s that come in for other work are worn on the inside rib of the front tires. This included my own '05 which was down to the cords before I discovered it. None of the cars were "out of spec". But "spec" includes a...
