    Question: C6 air filter

    Since the airflow is straight thru, the pleat direction change will be negligible. EDIT~ Sorry, I thought it was the cabin filter.

    How to activate C6 ignition without starting engine

    Usually, the manual only states: "RETURN VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE." I doubt they set up the car for everyone/anyone to fool with the OBD port. (Granted, anyone can, but should they??) Well, no, not everyone should...

    Question: Air Conditioning

    Sounds like you've got the defrost button pushed. It's along the row of buttons (2nd from the right.) Watch your display for the symbol to dissappear. Got yer manual?

    Strange Door Alignment! Opinions, Please!

    Doc, it sounds like the door is ok, but maybe the dash was removed for some reason and not totally reseated upon re-installation. Does the window fit the rubber trim evenly?

    Rear Ended & Insurance

    Since you have AO tintcoat, it'll have to be blended. I would have the rear of the car totally inspected. This includes the rearend/transmission mounts/cases and everything underneath the fascia cover. Also, have the "box" that is glued to the frame checked for cracks. Lastly, I'd have the frame...

    Recall: 2011 - 2012 Corvette Coupes

    I wanna make sure I got this right~ GM is putting out a recall to fix cars that haven't had a problem, right? I have yet to see any issues (or even speculation) on any of the forums I'm on, regarding this issue. (I'm on a few of them, too.) It seems to me that GM is taking care of the...

    Goodyear D3's for the C6

    The Goodyears work ok, for the first 1500-1800 miles, then they become ice skates. If you have to drive in any wet conditions, try the Firestone wide oval RF's. They channel water a lot better than Goodyears via deeper tire grooves. Besides, the Firestones can be had for $1000/set. What's that...

    Question: rear end noise

    Actually, during GM's "learning curve" on this, they tried to first replace just the fluid to no avail. Then, they tried new fluid with add'l friction modifier. That didn't work very well either. Then, they added 2 bottles of friction modifier to rear ends w/chatter. That worked! Then, GM had...

    Question: synthetic oil change intervals

    Very good post, Hib. The only thing I might change is "acids are controlled by corrosion inhibiters." Actually, the acids (mostly caused by sulphur in the fuel) are neutralized by the alkalinity (potasium hydroxide) in the oil. (TAN or TBN) ASTM test # D664 or D974 are used for this...

    Weird display in driver information center

    Sounds like a button is either hung up or the contacts are making inadvertant contact every so often. If this occurs only after 30 minutes of driving, then maybe heat related?

    Help! Outside tire wear excessive on all fours.

    Excellent tire (since you're in Minnesoooota.):L You could but it would create a big bunch of headaches, and you'd gain nothing. This would be the least of your problems. Would this be worth sacrificing your warranty?

    LS7 Option In A Grand Sport?

    Until you try to track it, then you'll discover no track will allow you to run unless you fit a roll cage. Suddenly, you realize having an LS7 in a roadster isn't such a hot setup...:ugh

    air pressure sensor problem

    The range for TPMS is 24PSI to 42PSI. If your pressures go above or below those thresholds, then you car will go into "ACTIVE HANDLING ACTIVATED" mode. The car won't allow you to do certain things (such as try to pull 1G laterally in a turn.) Individual braking can and will like occur. One of...

    Question: Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Z06?

    Ok, road racing @ Summit Point! Well, let's see. Here's a list for road race work: 1. Corner balanced with track alignment 2. 18" wheels with track rubber 3. Keep an eye on your brake rotors (cracking eminating from the outermost holes.) 4. Brake pads (there's tons of 'em!) 5. Replace...

    Electrical Gremlins

    Tuna, you may have to replace all the modules at the same time. This way, any modules that are corrupt, can not effect healthy modules. This is like a "flood" car, it seems. Hope you get it working soon. (If you car takes a HUGE VOLTAGE SURGE again, you gotta rename your car "Lee Trevino!"):chuckle

    07 convertible top problem

    If the car is still "under full 3/36 warranty" then it's covered (even if you're not!) What's "in rig." vs. "out of rig?" Why do you only have 1 post?:eyerole

    Help! Outside tire wear excessive on all fours.

    How did you get Z51 tires to last 14,000 miles? I've never heard of such an accomplishment. If your tires are wearing on the outside (or inside) then that's a camber issue. There is tons of "leway" in the GM alignment spec. Since you don't do any "performance" driving, you might as well save...
