Hib First it was good that I finally met you at the NCM last labor day weekend (I was with LTL4Man), as you said, good to put a face to the CAC name. Buying a new corvette is a great experience. Of my 11, 3 were purchased new. I know how the fever gets to a person when desiring a new...

You might check with a GM dealer parts department; they may have the recommended plug. You could also try the GM Parts House for their recommendations. Finally, check with C4C5specialist on this forum, I am sure he can get you the info. Barrett

Gregory, Convincing my brother is more difficult than chosing the RED corvette I will bring. He is not retired, so his work schedule usually dictates whether he will attend. By mid June, I should have all 3 out of storage, and all 3 are lobbying for the trip. The 08 has not returned to BG...

May I suggest that you do a lot of practice with the Glock or other suitable weapon because a running mouse is just a little more difficult to hit than a human threat in your garage. I suggest also that you use a .22 revolver as the Glock probably only uses high velocity long rifle ammunition...

I made my reservations at the hotel today for June 10 - 16, 2012. looking forward to seeing all my friends and new friends for the CF 2012. Now I have to see if my brother can make it also. Hope the hotel has a hose for us to wash our cars. This is a fun event, but the two day drive each way...

I purchased a replacement at Tabor Corvette Parts on line and it worked fine. They get them off of wrecked vettes, so they may not have all of them. Do a google search on used corvette parts and then call the people on the resultant search. One thing to remember, GM changed the sensors in...

I know that many CACers do not like dealers nor their shops, but I find that mine (Bozarth in Lone Tree, CO) does good work and lets me watch. I had all three of my vettes winterized with Dex Cool. The dealer uses the BG system that cleans, flushes, and then adds the correct dilution of anti...

I agree with Yoda on the rants against any vendor without due reason. I have ordered a ton of stuff from MAMW and if there is a problem, they will work with you every time; I have returned items that were not as represented or of poor quality, and they e-mailed me a Fed Ex label at their cost...

I put the 08 Convertible and 02 Coupe away last week. Took about 6+ hours to prepare each for storage until late April 2012. They are now sleeping under their covers in the garage while we are getting up to1 foot of snow today. I already have 8 inches on the ground and the snow won't stop...

I pulled the AC air filter from my 08 LS3 engine last Monday and it is quite different than the one you show for your 05. Mine is oval and about 3 inches thick. The owners manual said to change it at 50K miles. I checked with a local world class tech for chevy on Monday and he told me to...

If you look at the corvette closely, you will see that it is a 1957 (could also be a 1956 as there were minor differences). The giveaways are the tail lights, the chrome exhaust trim, The rear deck emblem not imbedded in the trunk lid, and the fake air intakes on the front fenders in front of...

Your welcome. Barrett

The trouble with the aftermarket blades is that they are too tall to clear the hood. When I had my C4s and replaced the blades, I purchased OEMs from the dealer, but the last time I purchased one about 3 years ago, it cost about $23. It worked fine. Maybe someone else has experience with...

I had the hum in my 02 coupe and had C4C5 Specialist check it out in 2009. He thought it was the fuel pump making the noise and told me not to worry about it. He hooked up a scanner and could not find a problem. Haven't had any problem related to the noise, so I just turn my hearing aids...

The tire issue will never go away as the companies keep upgrading their product. I just returned from the National Corvette Museum's Hall of Fame activity and drove 2600 miles in my 02 Coupe. I had previously driven it to the NCM on the Goodyear OEM tires and also the CF in Cleveland and got...

Coupe's only. Wish the verts had it too.

You didn't say what year your C6 is. I know that for 2008 and newer, you cannot carry the spare fob in the trunk as the car won't lock while there is a fob in the Corvette. If you have a vert, the trunk will open with the dash button if the fob is within sending distance. I don't think the...

From the research I've done, and it is not an absolute, it appears that the life of the sensors depends on use and time. GM says that the battery life will last 5 years or so for normal driving. So if you put 15K on each year, then 5 years would be about 75K. If you only have 30K on the...

Welcome to the site. You must be getting close to retirement. I've been in Corvettes for 51 years and the thrill is still there - so you will have the time of your life now that you purchased your first Corvette. Hope you enjoy it and if you need info, this is the place to get it. Barrett
