congrats, and welcome to c5 world. that thing looks just like mine, except for the red interior. i've always loved the red interior with black...great combo, and hard to come by.

when i bought my c5 it had no front cover, so i'm kinda forced to use the front plate. when i had the c4 i never used the front plate, just kept it behind the passenger seat. i'd love to find a painted to cover so i can make the car look right again.

inline6, where'd ya put the dog???

i've noticed similar situations. however, i haven't done any research on the issue. it's intermittant.

way cool, c5_chick:_rock . i think i'd like to do that sometime. did you buy model paint and use a brush? has any of it peeled off from engine heat?

hawaii-5-lo, a few years ago i bought a brand new black dodge ram. after i had it about 3 months, i got stuck in a wicked hail storm. it was covered with tiny dents all over the hood, roof and left side...total bad luck:( . bottom line, insurance did cover the damage, in fact when i...

thanks again, your posts are an invaluable resource on this site. tom:cool

c4c5...you rock!!!:_rock :_rock last night i picked up a 34mm socket and did exactly what you said. the noise seems to be gone now. i drove it around last night and to work this morning is stop and go traffic and i haven't heard it yet. question...why did this fix the noise. was it the...

c4c5, thanks, i'll give it a try. would you believe i have a 32mm and a 36mm, but no 34mm. i'll pick one up and give it a try this weekend (maybe tomorrow night if i get a chance). i'll post the results as soon as i do it. thanks, tom:cool

c4c5, thanks for the reply. here's a little elaboration. the noise is evident when i pull away at normal driving speeds and sometimes when i slow down. it's somewhat sublte (in that i don't hear it if the radio's up). the sound is a mixture of a clunk and a cluck and it only happens once...

there's a possibility that my differential is the cause of a clunking noise coming from the rear of my car. i'm planning on changing the fluid and i'm curious as to what people are using on their c5s (gm standard, redline etc);shrug . i understand that there's a posi additive that i need to...

when i used to drive mum around in the c4, she compared it to getting out of a bathtub...pretty good analogy..:D :) the c5 is wayyyyyyyy easier.:cool

thanks for the response...i'll check the anti-sway bar links. also, forgive my ignorance:confused , but can you tell me more about the additive in the rear axle lubricant. what's it called, and how is used? as you can see, i'm still learning a lot about this car.:pat

a combination of both. i guess it really depends on the situation...and my mood.:s

has anyone had any problems with u joints in their c5? i'm getting a slight clunking/clucking/clicking noise in the rear of the car when i first pull away. any thoughts?;shrug i remember the u joints on my c4 went bad, i'm wondering if this is common on the c5.

eric, anytime...it's so much better this way.:_rock just remember, i get to drive what ever's in your future. have you considered a c6?

last night, i installed the cags bypass and i love it. with the kind of traffic i drive in, it's a nice thing to have. i'm glad i don't have to deal with the car driving me anymore:s...whether it's occasioinal or often. ed, thanks for all your help. tom:s

great post:cool :cool :cool ok, who's got some burn out advice for us 6 speed drivers?:beer tom

sounds like there may be a new torque wrench in my future. i figured it was pretty important. i just wish my existing wrench went higher then 75. thanks for all the input.

i've heard that if you remove your wheels, it's important to torque them to proper specs when putting them back on. the specs for my c5 are somewhere in the 100s...the craftsman torque wrench that i got for christmas only goes to 75. so i'm wondering how important proper torque on wheel lugs...
