    Catalytic converters removed?

    no, nO, NO !!! Some of you are either: a. confusing the front sensor pair with the rear pair, or b. guessing, but not labeling your response as a "guess". On the C5, only the front 2 sensors are used in AFR determination and adjustment. The rear pair of sensors are there to give a...

    Catalytic converters removed?

    the rear O2's are not used for AFR adjustment... only the front 2 are. How do Sims (for the rear O2's) "throw off your fuel trim calculations" ???

    Remote CD changer wiring

    In 1997 and 1998 C5 model years, there was some concern over this. But it has nothhing to do with whether the head unit has a Cassette or not... and EVERYTHING to do if whether the head unit has a button labled "AUX" or not. As long as your factory head unit has an "AUX" button, a remote CD...

    CD Changer alternative

    With my MP3 setup, I first tried the FM modulator connection method. I didn't have a problem with finding an unused area of the dial to get a clean signal either. But what I didnt' like was the fidelity. It sounded no better than... well... an FM radio station. The direct connection method...

    Rear end noise

    when the fluid was changed, was the "friction modifier" additive also poured in? Try driving figure "8"'s in a huge - open parking lot (look out for lamp posts). This gets the fluid into the clutch packs.

    fellow C5 owner to the south of me cut-off his stick shifter shaft 1.25 inches and rethreaded it. He road races and says it's worked out well. FWIW

    Tech Article: Run Flat Facts

    there is not an industry spec for the "EMT" designation that dictates 200 miles with zero pressure. I don't really berlieve that the average driver knows they can go a full 200 miles on GY EMT's. Many will just pull over at the very next exit and get the tire fixed anyways. Although it is good...

    What year is best C5 to buy/why?

    yes. There was a major rewrite of the AH and tranny software in 2001. And midway through the 2001 model year the LS1 got the LS6 intake manifold, the LS6 block, and the larger diameter MAF. Also, 2001 was the first year that Active Hamdling became standard equipment. To be sure on all this ...
