    Air Induction System

    I bought a stock air cleaner lid and cut out about a 8"x12" opening. Then I installed a K&N filter. How does this compare to a Haltech or other type of performance induction system??? I don't know, BUT, I saved a load of cash (new lid, K&N filter & cleaner kit =~$120). Admittedly there was no...

    Parking Brake Assembly

    Does anyone know if a C6 parking brake lever assembly will fit a C5? Specifically, I am wondering if it is simple swap or are mounting holes different or do they use different cable ends or cable lengths? Thanks! Dave

    Question: Kumho Ecsta XS rear sizing question

    You're splitting hairs. The difference between the two sizes results in 3.03 more revolutions in one mile using the smaller tire. The difference in circumference between the two tires is .31". That means that for every mile you drive on the larger tire, you lose .939 Inches traveled on the...

    Question: GM Restucture/Bankruptcy

    With all the news and speculation about a pending GM restucture or bankruptcy, there has been a lot of talk about which brands GM may or may not hold on to.

    Question: auto climate control

    The automatic climate control system will use the A/C to get moisture out of the air to reduce windsheild fogging under certain conditions. I think there is a more complete explanation in the owners manual. Good Luck!! Dave

    Gas Gauge Problems

    Try BG 44K I've had the same gauge issue in my '01. I now use BG 44K fuel additive once a year and have never had the problem again. It's a bit expensive($12/can) but IMHO it's the best you can buy. You can buy it online (as do I) or check some of your local car dealers. I've also heard the...

    Front tire height and rubbing on 2001 C5

    I don't think there will be a problem at the top of the tire, because there is plenty of room for wheel travel. When turning the wheel however, you should measure the clearance from the edges of the tire to the inside of the wheel well. Dave
