Today was cloudless, 45-50 degrees and I needed oil and a filter for my tractor so I removed the dust cover and fired up the Vette for a 30 mile one way cruise to the dealer who sells Orange colored tractors. On the way home I stopped at my local Non-Ethanol gas station to top it off and the...

One more thing. I too used Dr. Don for repair to my CD changer and all is well, he did a great job. However, I noticed that when I was on the way out to town on my gravel road I had minor jams at two different times. I was able to correct both of these jams by ejecting the CD magazine. Both...

Switch Junkman, If the schematic is different from GMJunkie's please post. I can't have too much information. Thanks. Bill :w

Chrome wheels Beautiful wheels guys!! When I first bought my car I pulled the wheels off cleaned them thoroughly and gave them two coats of Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax. That was three years ago and the dirt still rolls right off with soap and water. Yeah chrome, may it shine forever!! Bill :w

Fog lights GMJunkie, Last year when I was messing with it for the third time I think I checked that fuse but will do it again. I just have to wait for a nice day to back out the tractor and other stuff then drop Scarlet down to the floor for a snoop, she's on the rack for winter. Thanks...

Cover NOW, we're getting stylish, good show !!

Sheets I got the flat sheets on clearance from WallyWorld at $10 each --- besides I'm not sure fitted sheets would fit, but good thought. I like R&B's mini tennis ball idea as well. There's always another way to do something. Has anybody else come up with a different idea, if so post it...

I have my 98 for 4 years now and from the get go the only thing that does not work are my fog lights. Most annoying. So far I have .... 1. Check the bulbs they are OK but no current gets to the sockets. 2. Changed the under-hood fuse and relay with new ones. 3. Pulled the nose off and checked...

Canopy I would buy two right off the bat and store the unused one as a replacement. This way you would always have one at the ready if needed. I found companies like to change things around every so often for whatever reason and when you try to replace some part a whole new system has to be...

Ok, so, the Vette is on the rack until the weather straightens out and has my homemade dust cover on ... that would be two king size sheets sewn together, works very well. The problem is that when I'm out in the "Tractor barn" with the overhead door open working on some other machine and the...

Appreciation Tex, It took 45 years to get my first Corvette (a C4) and now I'm on my second (a C5) and I'm not letting go !! Bill :w

Appreciation ?? Jim, The appreciation should have started when you bought the car ..... Oh, you mean money. When I go to cruise-ins and car shows I sometimes put a sign in the window that states, "This car is not actively for sale, however if it really strikes your fancy give me a...

Found it. Found it ..... The vertical seat sensor was being thrown off by a small metal storage basket under the driver's side seat that slid too far rearward preventing the seat from reaching its vertical position. As far as the "Air System" code goes I did a reset and so far it has not come...

Over the last few months I have gotten two codes on my 98 Coupe ---- a B62O5 and PO410. The B6205 is the Front Seat Vertical Position Sensor Failure and the PO410 is the "Air System". My questions are where is the Vertical Position Sensor located and how do I know which seat it refers to. My...

I came across a product that works very well on my 1998 C5 Coupe. They are called Ventlocks sold by the Leerburg Dog Training | 16,000 pages of dog training information, 300 free dog training streaming videos, free eBooks, podcasts, by Ed Frawley and Michael Ellis company for $17.99 each. These...

Polishing. Mike, Do you have any pictures of the aluminum after polishing to share with us ? Bill

Heat The trick is to reflect the heat before it gets into the passenger compartment. If you can get your car on a lift and put a reflective barrier on the under side of the car above the cat converters this will help. I constructed a homemade barrier out of 4 layers of heavy duty aluminum...

Time to move on. We all understand your frustration and sometimes it's just time to move on and "Enjoy" something different ........ but what ?? I went from a 1987 Allante then to an 88 Allante on to a C4 anniversary edition and then to my present 98 C5. Since all of these cars were not...

I'm trying to locate an under-the-hood and faint metallic chirping sound that only occurs on acceleration in my 1998 Auto Trans Coupe. At sustained speeds there is no noise. My thinking is the belt tensioner might be the culprit but can't seem to pin it down. I don't know how many miles are on...

Yep, no cover when your car is outside because any cover will chafe the finish from wind action. Toms1 has a lift like mine which allows me to store two cars and a farm tractor in a two car garage (10 ft. ceiling). The car on top has a homemade dust cover on it which is two king sized sheets...
