    C3 Rear End Chatter

    Take a few more minutes to evaluate the condition of your differential (or find a shop that will work better with you to checkout the current condition). At 43,000 miles my 1979 was displaying characteristics similiar to what you appear to be describing. Once the rearend fluid got warm, the...

    What was factory ZO6 tire repair kit??

    The product info for the ContiComfortKit repair kit from the Tire Rack (link provided) advises that the tire sealant WILL damage the factory Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors.

    What was factory ZO6 tire repair kit??

    Recently acquired a used ZO6 equipped with non-run-flat tires. To my surprise the factory flat tire repair kit is missing. I know it included a tire pump to reinflate the tire, but....... Did the GM factory ZO6 flat tire repair kit include an aeresol tire sealant or a tire plug kit?? Thanks.

    HOW TO DEACTIVATE INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS??

    Deactivating Interior Lights I somehow thought the same thing. But I parked the car outside in the sunlite, left the drivers door opened up to 30 minutes and the interior courtesy lights never went out. Maybe someone else with a 1998 or so C5 could try this and tell us if they're interior...

    HEADLIGHT BULD REPLACEMENT -HOW TO?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I thought I had the procedure down but could'nt figure out why the things didn't come out. I'll snake my hands back in there and do a little tugging. It seems like the bulbs are only turning about an 1/8 of a turn before stopping. It doesn't look like their rotating...

    Intake Questions. . .

    Check your hood/air clearer clearance carefully when considering any of the RPM or Air-Gap intake. The current Edelbrock catalog states under the Performer Air-Gap, Performer RPM, and Performer RPM Air-Gap that the intakes "will not fit under stock Corvette hoods". The dropped base air cleaner...

    Want feedback on C3 "Bumpsteer Kits"

    NORVALWILHELM: Wow those are some big pictures. In the first photo I'm sure you modified both spindle steering arm to be mirror images of each other. How much lower is your outer tie rod end after fabricating/welding the blocks in place?? Have any problems with tire clearance? I'm running 50...

    a little play in rear wheels (when jacked up)

    While you have the car/rear tire off the ground, also check the movement you have at your differential side yokes. The C3 Corvettes are known to have soft factory side yokes that can wear very quickly. This allows the axle half shaft to move in & out of the differential. If you've got excessive...
