How hard is it to change the positive battery cable? I would have to work with the car on jack stands. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone purchased the GM eSI Techline Factory Service DVD? Is it the same as the printed factory service manuals? I saw it advertised on eBay at $39.95, and wondered if it would have most of the information to work on the 2003 model Corvette. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Scott

I have a 2003 50th AE Convertible. I bought the car used and the previous owner added a C5R wing on the rear. It looks good, but the only problem I have with it is that it blocks the light at night from getting to the rear view mirror, so it does not dim if the cars are close. It is very...

I work for Mercedes Benz USI in the United States. I am currently working at the Mercedes Plant in Sindelfingen for 6 weeks. Are there any car shows or the like here or close by in the next month? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. Scott

Custom Leather Seat Covers Here is the website for the place on HorsePower TV. www.Katzkin.com They can put your design anywhere on the seat. Good luck. Scott

Custom Seat Covers Check out the HorsePower TV website. On one of their shows they installed some custom seat covers that fit like originals. Not sure of the price. Scott

I get an exhaust noise that sounds like metal on metal contact when I decelerate. I think I have narrowed it down to the vacuum operated valve on the passenger exhaust manifold. Has anyone else had this happen? If so, what can be done? I am assuming that this is some kind of heat riser...

Check out Bulldog Security. They have some simple alarms that have current sensing, motion detection and start interrupt built in. Very reasonably priced. Easy to install. Scott

I am in the process of buying a 1978 Corvette. It has a front spoiler. I will need to trailer the car from where I am purchasing it to my home. Will the Corvette go onto the trailer via the ramps with no problem? The trailer is not a tilt trailer. Where should I attach my tiedown straps to...

It definitely helps. I knew the interior of the Pace Car was similar to the 1979 model. I was not able to find out anymore. Thanks.

I am looking at a 1978 Pace Car. It has combination silver cloth and leather seats. Was this an option on the Pace Car? I thought that they only came in silver leather. Could someone set me straight on this. Thanks
