I have had the parking brake clip on the trailing arm moved to the top of the a-arm for tire clearance, so how do I route the cable now? Outside of arm or inside? I have heard that routing on the inside makes the cable too long!

Has anyone here had a problem with the driver side AC being warmer than the passenger side air. The air on the passenger side on my 97 is easily 5-10 degrees colder and comes out with a lot more force than the driver side. Passenger side air also comes out with more force. Any ideas?

Does anyone know the torque spec for remounting the calipers and the main brackets on a 97 C5. Thanks

Looking to update a 73 to a tilt steering column! Is there any difference between the early C3 steering columns and one from a 78-82 vette? Thanks!

Anyone had clearance problems while trying to install dash speakers (passenger side - at the moment) on their late model C3 (82). There does not seem to be enough room for the speaker to drop all the way in, as the magnet is obstructed by the underside of the dash pad (that also is the mounting...

When I start up (cold) the RPM goes up to around 1800. when I start out she will shut down about a minute into the run. When I stop and restart she will do fine from then on! Is this part of the ECM just crossing over to normal run operation from the startup program?? :confused Thanks

Looking to replace torn door panels, has anyone had success changing the color of their panels with dye. (changing a tan to black)? Also are the lower panels and speaker covers easy to remove/swap out? Thanks, Tom

Has anyone got a pic of their spare tire light assembly, mine is missing and the bulb is just hanging down. The item that all the parts houses carry, say that it is the same as the assembly that is used for the tag light. Looking in the area where I think mine use to be mounted, the two screws...

Tracing problem in courtesy lighting circuit and can't find the switch in the cowl area for the under hood light. Did they move it or do away with it on the 1982's? Thanks

I believe this is an old problem as I have seen threads about shorts, battery drains, etc.. The question I have is: what would be a nominal or acceptable current reading with the ignition turned off? I have found one drain in the courtesy light circuit (and lights that don't work) so I have...

Is there a set procedure on changing the rear fluid in a C5? Do I need to flush under normal conditions, or just drain and replace quantities of oil and friction modifier to spec (1.6 qt & 4 oz). Thanks again for all your help CAC!!!

When ever I go over speed bumps I hear the front suspension popping and groaning, and when a I take a slow speed turn in a parking lot, I get loud creaking from the rear suspension (rear spring is only about 4 years old). Are there any lubrication points that might lessen this? Or is this...

Finally got all the interior out of my 73 to track down the source of my leaks. The biggest ones I have found are the floor vents from the cowl area. When water goes into the wiper/cowl area, it flows directly into the floorboard from the vents on both sides. I have reviewed the assembly manual...

Working on the big block conversion and have been looking at what the increase will effect on the axles that came on the small block cars that should be increased for the big block swap? what about trailing arm assemblies and the center section? Thanks!

Has anyone ever had any problems with their electronic brake control module? I got a service engine soon and ABS and traction control lights on the dash this morning. I took it to the dealer where I had my brakes flushed 3 weeks ago and new fluid put in when they did a brake job, now they say I...

I just noticed that GM parts house has the C6 Z06 shocks ($240) for about 2/3rds the price of the C5 Z06 shocks. Has anybody tried these (direct replacement on C5) I am looking to install them on a baseline 97 so I figure there should be a very noticable difference.

Has anyone had mulitple failures of their belt tensioner? Mine has just started squealing again indicating that it is going to need replacement for the third time in just over 50K miles. I installed the first unit and had the dealer do the second, is their a permanent fix available, (well at...

I'm still working on converting my 73 to a 427 and trying to find all the obstacles that are out there. The latest that I heard yesterday, was that there is a difference in the front frame crossmember where the harmonic balancer will hit if you are working with a "small block" frame. I had...
