I want to know what you all are doing re: tow hooks on the C5's. There are none. So how does one pull your Corvette up onto a flatbed? I've seen the Pfadt tow hooks but would rather have a removable "eye tow hook". Has anyone added anything like this to their car? I think an ideal...

This may make a few cringe, but I'm a fan of those bolt-on flares that you see on Porsche (RWB), Lambo's, Ferrari's. I'm throwing around the idea of finding a set that compliments the C5 and having them installed on my 03 Z06 along with wider wheels, different tire size, etc. I've seen C7's...

Recently when I push on "FUEL" and scroll to "RANGE" it will show incorrect info, ie: 36 miles, when I have a full tank of gas. When I'm driving, I can see the "RANGE" start to increase its miles. If this function of the DIC is malfunctioning, can any other function using the "FUEL" button...

I've got a problem with gas mileage on my 03 Z06 which has steadily gone from 31 mpg hwy down to its present 16 mpg hwy and I don't know what's causing it. I've thumbed thru the archives but could find nothing with my problem. I made a service appointment at the dealership for Tues, 03/08/16...

It's been years since this recalled item has been fixed and it just appeared again. Does anyone have a solution to permanently resolve this issue? I understand that if "Check Column Lock" appears I'll be dead in the water. Is this possible now that the "Pull Key........" msg has reappeared...

I have a 2003 Z06 and after a recent drive I filled it up and recorded 20 mpg when it had been getting 29-31 mph for the same drive. I have an active code of P1516 which is saying it's the Throttle Actuator Control. Does anyone have any knowledge of this problem? I only have 40,000 miles on...

What's your preference for an aftermarket, or OEM, short throw shifter? B&M, Hurst, or something else?

I have a 1966 coupe w/327 and have no experience working with gas tanks. I noticed gas dripping from the bottom of the tank. When I jacked up the rear end I noticed the gas was dripping from a prong protruding from the center of a round snap ring. The prong has a rubber gasket surrounding a...

Recently I've been getting 3 messages pop up on the DIC....Service Traction Control, Service Active Handling, and Service ABS. Up until yesterday, whenever I turned the ignition off and restarted the message would go away. Now it's staying on. I pulled the code and got C1214 HC. There were...

I've had my '66 cpe for almost a year now and haven't changed a thing except to add American Racing Torque Thrust's and Michelin radials to it. Knock-offs have been stored in the garage. All other repairs have been OEM parts.

I have knock-off wheels on my 1966 coupe. I know Kelsey-Hayes was the original manufacturer. On the backsides of my wheels reads... "Western Wheel Corp" "K-H" with these numbers "306065". I'm assuming the K-H stands for Kelsey-Hayes but are these original wheels or...

I haven't had any problems with the brakes since I purchased the car in June, '09. Recently have had minimal brake fade which progressed to the brake pedal going all the way to the floor. I found that the rubber boot inside the master cylinder was "off" a bit and just a little brake fluid...

I took my '66 in for a 4 wheel alignment and when the mechanic put the Hunter clip on mechanism on the rear wheel we noticed that the wheel had play in it. Pushing/pulling on top and bottom caused the half shaft to pull out of the differential a little. About 1/2" on the right rear and 3/4"-1"...

I recently replaced the front parking brake cable. Now the parking brake won't engage. The parking brake handle will pull up the slack but the cable to either side of the rear brakes will not budge. The parking brakes worked before the front cable snapped. Any help will be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what color this paint code represents? 972AA I've been told it's Ermine White and Polar White. I need a spray can of touch up paint and don't know which one to get. ;shrug

My son took these photos of my '66 tonight as the sun was setting in California.

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the headlamp doors on my '66? I have a top gap on the drivers side slightly wider than the passenger side. Is the adjustment hard to do? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how long the lead hammers for removing the spinners last? The '66 I just purchased did not come with a hammer so I ordered one from a catalog. I recently took the wheels off to examine the brakes, rotors, and calipers then put the wheels back on. The hammer is toast now. I...

Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to replace the speedometer and trip odometers on my '66? Is this something I would be able to do myself or should I let a shop with more experience handle it?

Here's a recent pic of my '66. Sorry it isn't in a better setting, I was too eager to show it.
