No need to sell it, the column lock has plagued the C5 line but fortunately it is easily preventable. GM tried to fix it by removing the locking plate or installing K harness on the lock mechanism. There is no easy fix like pressing the reset button, puling the fuse, programing or unplugging the...

First off the "wait 10 sec" message is probably caused by a week battery. I know you just installed a brand new optima,and that is great, but even a new battery should be charged before installing. You should have a min of 12.7 volts reading on the battery, anything less will probably cause the...

Has anyone used 9006-80W and 9005-100W bulbs in their cars? I have couple of sets of these bulbs and I would like to install them in my stock headlight but I'm concerned about melting the housing, wires or damaging something else. I could go HID but if these will work I would rather go with these.

If I remember correctly from reading many past threads on the issue a CD cleaning disk fixes many otherwise dead CD players. A new head unit will require a Bose adapter and filler plate to conceal the space from 1 1/2 din hole left by stock radio. Hope you haven't bit the bullet on the cost of a...

As Hib stated above the 17/18 or 18/19 is only the rim size and has nothing to do with ABS or speedometer. What will make the difference is the size of rubber you will mount on the rim. For instance a 245/45-17 tire has a diameter of 25.7", if you were to mount a 245/40-18 on your new 18" rim...

It's not Duct Tape ;squint: on a Vette it's called 200MPH performance tape and it sells for $39.95 ;LOLa roll. Now to lambo style door kits. Since the closing part of door travel is same as factory there should be no sealing problem. If when closed the door has a equal gap and looks aligned...

Rich, unless you have a heavy modified engine you don't need anything other than stock. Your thermostat and fan settings still control the engine temperature and larger radiator will only bring the temps down quicker once the fans and thermostat come into play. Bottom line if you did not have...

No modification just a reprogram for the new tire size, and only if you really have to know how fast you are going.

I would think that a broken TPMS unit would make less noise at speed due to centrifugal force. A cracked rim on the other hand is something you should have looked at by a mechanic immediately as it mey be dangerous to drive on. It might be a good time to use that extended warranty. Good luck...

This might sound silly but have you checked the steering fluid level and the rack system for signs of moisture, leaking seals. You could have a slight leek in the rack and that would not necessarily make any noise and not be felt at speed.

Before any tuning weather dyno or even via a handheld you should get the car running properly. This applies especially if a hand held is your choice. There may be several reasons for a miss at idle, something like a dirty injector could cause it. I would recommend using a can of Techtron and a...

Sorry for the:hijack Hey Remo, somehow I have a vision of what your HUD looks like :D I would hate to fall in your sights ;LOL:thumb:thumb

My apologies for spreading urban legend, please allow me to rephrase it:

The cat was doing a Macarena while I was reliving my life one flash at a time whenever I made a turn:W

Install the skip shift eliminator and be done with it. It's probably the simplest thing one can do to improve the driveability of a C5.:thumb The CAGS intent was never to improve any manual driving habit, it is a simple way to get around EPA and gas guzzler tax and for someone to tell you that...

Couple of years back I had to rebuild my trany, the shop that did the work had a new mechanic that did the work and when he put it back together he ended up cranking up the rear end to the max. I almost lost it on the way home, the car was so unstable in a turn. When I took the car back they...

Absolutely go for it. Manual trans are a snap, auto is little messier since you have to deal with the trans lines. If you have a way to raise the front end so as to get good access from the bottom it will be a snap. I think I paid somewhere around $300 for an OEM two years back.

Don't have HUD on the C5 but on my C6 there is a adjustment for the hight of where it is displayed on the windshield. I noticed a difference in brightness when moved from the highest to lowest position. :w

OK, so thats the best come back I could muster after the beating Chargers got tonight. I kow thats almost as bad as our game tonight. Congrats on the win and good luck on the way to Superbowl :thumb As far as the solar charger I have used them on my old sail boat and they worked great. Only...

It was a funny, hence the :jokejoke. Pittsburgh vs San Diego as in NFL.
