    LT4 What kind of tires are on your LT4

    I had to replace my tires last summer, tried to get the Goodyear D3's but kept getting told by various tire shops that they were on back order with no expected date for production. I ended up buying a set of Kuhmo ECSTA ASX's all around. They have been great tires, good ride and traction and...

    Heater shut off value

    I have had some heating/cooling issues with my LT4 and have found it not to be a simple fix like closing a valve. There is a part called a "programmer" that controls all the doors and related hardware that diverts the hot or cold air. It seems to be the culprit in issues like this. You can...

    Help! Approximate Cost??

    I need to replace the clutch in my '96 sometime soon as well. Similar symptoms to what you are having. I'm not comfortable putting the car up on jack stands/ramps and doing the job from a creeper. I have checked with a local dealer that is known as "the Corvette Place" in the state and their...

    Targa Top Refurbishment

    I did a Google search for QuiXX and the first hit was some reviews on Amazon. The product is touted as a scratch remover for your paint but it looks like you have found another use for it! It looks promising to all of us that have the acrylic tops on our C4s that look as bad as yours and mine...

    Question: Heating/AC Issues After Battery Replacement?

    Well, it FINNALY got nice enough in the Denver area to try the suggestion and take it out for a nice long drive today! Fun drive but the climate control still isn't operating right. So, next step is to start going through the massive shop manual to start troubleshooting! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Question: Heating/AC Issues After Battery Replacement?

    I replaced the battery in my '96 LT4 this fall and it appears that the climate control system isn't working now. I can set it to "auto" with a temperature at 72 and the system doesn't react as it used to. It blows cold air rather then what I would normally expect (like some heat when it is 35...

    Question: Headlights

    I have wondered about this subject too but hadn't taken the time to research it. I have heard radio commercials for a couple of lighting options but I trust the folks here at CAC to give us the real scoop on what works or not.

    LT4 LT4 Plug wires...

    Judging for NCRS is still 1953 thru 1993 although I would expect that to change in the next few years to add a few newer Vettes. Now is a good time to be thinking about what your car would need if you choose to go that route. Gathering up NOS parts now will be easier than a couple of years down...

    LT4 LT4 Cost information help?

    Welcome to CAC nada! I have only had my LT4 about a year now but I don't regret for a second paying a little more than what LT1's were going for. The ZF 6 speed is great too. Thanks to boeingdriver too . . . my LT4 is arctic white with the red/black interior. I hadn't taken time to figure out...

    LT4 '96 LT4 Tires

    Thanks for all the feedback guys! Sounds like the Kumho's should do just fine on my car. Now it's time to go put some miles on them!

    LT4 '96 LT4 Tires

    I replaced the tires on my LT4 today. I had ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in March but my tire dealer told me they were on backorder. Long story short, Goodyear kept moving out the production date and I needed to look for options as the old BF Goodrich tires on my car were worn to a...
