Hello out there in C5 land, This morning when starting my '01 coupe, I got a "charging system fault" message on my DIC. I was running late for work and didn't have time to review the codes. I did notice however that the volt reading after the car started was in the 14.4-14.6 range. Is this...

Hi, Last weekend I was at Lime Rock Park for a vintage car race. I went with my freind that was driving a 1999 automatic coupe (a Canadian car). When leaving, his column locked up on him. Fortunately, I was able to shake it loose and we were on out way. I told him about the recall and he went...

I just picked up a tinted glass targa top for my '01 coupe. When I put it on, the front latches were so tight, I almost couldn't close the latches. It was so tight that it really tightly compressed the header weather stripping. I looked at the construction of the latches and it looks as though...

I have a 2001 6 speed coupe with 15,200 miles on it. I checked the oil level today and found that in the last 1600 miles I'm down a quart. I routinely will run up through the gears to about 3000RPMs but never exceed 4500. I also know that the 1997-2001 LS1's use a low tension oil ring. I guess...
