:welcome Glad to have you!

Is the motor stock? Was there a "performance" program installed before you bought it?

Dual mode exhaust is dual mode again! :happyanim: Solenoid was only $77 but they had to take the rear bumper off to get to it. So, the labor was over 400. Ouch. One of the joys of owning a Corvette. :w

It seems that there are a couple of "flow control solenoids" in the system and one of them is shorted. So, we're awaiting parts.

I hope you're right.

The exhaust on my 427 Vert decided to go loud yesterday and stay that way. The fuse was blown so I replaced it and the new fuse promptly failed. Tried another, same result. It's at the dealer now. They tell me that there is a short to ground in the wiring and they're trying to run it down...

First, WELCOME to the CAC! Mid-America and Eckler's list replacement OEM style scissor style jacks. I'm not sure if anyone makes a hydraulic jack that will fit.

:welcome Good luck with your search for your first Vette!

Welcome to the Corvette Action Center! Which "turbo" Buick do you have or like?

If you haven't gone to the dealer yet, you might try siphoning some of the excess oil out of the tank with a turkey baster.

You've got a lot to think about here. I inherited a car that had been sitting for only 5 years once and that was a pain. All fluids, belts and hoses will need to be replaced. Clean out the fuel system, old gas leaves a coating on the fuel lines and carbs. Rebuild the brakes. As for the...

We could try that - no wait, I already did. I bought the CB radio for the 2009 Caravan but I didn't buy the headphones for it. My wife and I found out that a 2-way radio without headphones was pretty much useless in a Corvette convertible. We were always asks people to "come back!" Probably...

You want another?

Stud Muffin, do you have your ears on? Smart phones surely ruined the CB industry. When I was at Bowling Green last week, I thought I heard a few transmissions on channel 19. I tried to break in but did not get an answer from any of them. Thought they were truckers on I-65 but maybe not...

Very Nice!

Anybody still use CB radios other than truckers (assuming they still do)? I found a Cobra 40-channel walkie-talkie in my closet recently that appears to still work except that I can't hear anyone to talk to.

Not enough to notice difference between them in performance but noise is different. The 92 has magnesium valve covers and a different cam profile - it creates more valve train noise than the 93 and later LT1 engines. The 93 and later LT1 engines has composite valve covers that are taller and...

Michelin Pilot Supersport ZP - if you don't drive in the cold or on ice or snow! Great summer performance tire. Michelin Pilot A/S 3 + ZP - if you drive all year around - Not on snow or ice however and not on the track

Well, that sucks. Like you, I would have thought Katech had this upgrade down. Guess not. At least they want to make it right.

I think you are right.
