Both lights at the same time? Hmmm...ground?

What you speak of here is true, Paul. However, doing the "syringe the M/C and fill with fresh fluid" doesn't hurt, AND it causes the owner to inspect other things whilst there. This, I feel, is a good thing. It only puts off the inevitable (wear to failure) but it does seem to help. (It's been...

I just checked with a friend who has a 2006 3LT vert. He does not have the "latch pulldown" feature. Is it available in more recent model year verts? I think it became an option on the Z06 in 2008MY. My 2006 doesn't have it.

The distance is based upon the FOB battery strength. (Also walls or other barriers.) We first tested FOB signal strength back in early 2006 with various Corvettes. We found a FOB w/a new battery could send a signal, recognized by the car from 40' away. This was "line of sight" but it was still...

The only way I know of to "disable" the FOB would be to remove the battery.

I bet he'd jump at the chance to sell his 2009 Z06 for 65K! Hell, I would too as the car is worth 52K and dropping ...:L Hey, I'm desperate for money so I'll sell my 2006 Z06 for 60K! Any suckers....I mean takers?;LOL *(It's one of 282, ya know that makes it worth more!):chuckle

I think you found the real reason why the car is in the condition it is. Replace it with a stock unit as they're the most trouble free. Thank you for understanding that the Corvette (nor any other car) is designed to perform, "Burnouts." The car dosen't really need any power adders in stock...

My roof was replaced via recall for 2006 MY cars. OP~ there may be a TSB or something on the flying roof recall. Granted, your issue was latches and I don't know if there's a TSB/recall for the latches. Be sure to keep them lubricated.

Interesting that the people that are having issues, are new to this forum and don't have any posts. That makes them 1 of 2 things. Lurkers or trolls. Ok, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's say both of the cars that are having the same issue are indeed, bonafide. Here's what we...

Sure, just throw the FOB in the trunk. There are no sensors there so you'll be just as locked out. ;) Carrying the trunk key in your wallet isn't a bad idea as it allows you to get into the car. Or, you could tape a spare key to the underside of the car somewhere, then retrieve it when you're...

If not "gone," then verrrrrrrry limited! Just think of all the econoboxes they'll have to sell to offset the "guzzler" cars...

After talking to "Corvette traditionalists" about a high revving, no torque engine, they didn't like the change at all. They prefer the big cube, low revving, high torque engine avaliable now. Can't say I blame them as I can buy a high revving, no torque engine in any asian performance car...

Tuna~ Since your car has had a multi component failure, it's safe to say that the cause is connected to all those failed systems. Not just 1 of them. This tells me it's a ground somewhere. Since you brought up "lightning dischrages," it is possible that this could be the cause. Lightning may...

Yes, the fluid is hygroscopic. It will pull water from the air (via humidity.) Also OP~ You might want to use Ranger's method of changing the majority of your fluid on a monthly basis. It's easy as you don't have to turn any wrenches or get under the car. If you want to get under the car and...

btdt $1000 works yo

If the rumored "10,000 rpm" turbo V-8 comes true, then you might see shorter gears. Right now, you just end up with add'l engine heat, more stress on the driveline, worse gas mileage and your engine is worn out sooner... such a deal!:chuckle

You don't need to remove the rockers themselves, just inspect the cages for failure.

Have you looked at car prices from all manufacturers? All the cars are going up. Especially the "entry" level models. Now that the "cash for clunkers" has destroyed the used car market, the rest of the used cars are commanding premium pricing. This is crossing over to new car sales since the...

Based on what I'm hearing regarding "Carlisle Blue," it won't be around long and in very limited numbers...

You can use it for another coupla years. The key is how it's stored. If it's stored inside a garage where water can't get to it, then you're good.
