Thanks Tony...I will try that. I know the dimmer adjustment works when the headlights are on, that's the first thing I checked. They seemed to work o.k. the other day in the daylight, but it was slightly overcast (what's new in Indiana). It's supposed to be cold and rainy the next couple of...

Yes I do...only works once in a while JOHN

I have a '88 Vette and never really drive it in the dark. I did drive it this morning and dash lights were fine in the dark. When I came out of the Gym the sun was out and I could barely see the dash. It has always been bright enough before. Is there something I can do to turn the illumination...

Thanks everyone for your input...I am going to keep looking and find the newest low mileage C-5 I can afford...I also have my eye on a '65 GTO...sweet car...at least I remember how to work on them...don't worry, there will also be a 'Vette in the garage Thanks Again, THE HOGG

Thanks much 6 Shooter...would like to go as new as possible, but the kids are worried about me spending their "meager" inheritance...spend when you can enjoy it is what I say!!! THE HOGG

I am currently looking at a 98 coupe. I just need to know if there are any special problems or areas that I should check on this car. I now have a C-4 and I think I know most of the problems with them although new things are constantly coming up. I am getting "older" and working on some things...

Welcome to the Forum...Enjoy the ride

Had to do mine on my 88...was not that difficult and the bushings were less than ten bucks. I just did one side at a time and the second side went very quickly. I found an awesome website that had excellent instructions and photos...i printed all of them and have them in the garage somewhere...

Thanks and good luck with yours... Have a long sunny weekend!!! JOHN

I just had my transparent top done at a glass shop last week. It was pulling apart in many different places and I thought it was going to play ejection canopy with me. They did charge me $65.00, but it looks very professional and tight all the way around now. I can't get it to budge. I have not...

Hey Charles...I have only had my 88 for less than a year and I may be ignorant, but I did not know the car had an alarm. It is always in the garage (mainly for repairs, of course) and I have never driven it any place that I needed to lock it. I let my kid take it today and he called me and asked...

Congratulations joeB...you will have to bring it down to the Ashley-Hudson Indiana area and I will buy you lunch at Dillingers in Hudson... Practice that wave JOHN

joesroad...I do not have the FSM and would greatly appreciate any help...I will probably install the new cable this weekend...I might have to return it to the Chevy dealer because it looks like somebody might have returned it after they messed up the base of the plastic threads...I will try to...

oldvet...you can also make this tool by heating up the rod and bending to those specs...I am going to carry mine in the car until I use some of the tricks other guys in the forum have used, like running an extra cable under the wipers to the relase mechanism...you can see some of these tricks if...

Hey, Good luck on your Vette quest...hope you find one you like...the C-4's are priced right to get you in one...I like mine, but they do need maintained $$$ The only problem with the wave is having to put down your "beverage" ...Oh well "A GOOD FRIEND WON'T LET A FRIEND DO ANYTHING...

Welcome to the Forum JoeB...I am also new as of last year and have learned a lot from this Forum...Headlight Door repair, Half-Shaft U-Joint replacement, Electronic Dash repair...along with many other repairs and modifications. Good luck on your Vette hunt...I can't give you much advice, but the...

Just got the hood open with the "special" tool that I made after finding the specs in this forum. (As always...this place is great). I need to know how the new cable is supposed to be routed. The old one comes up on the driver's side then along the firewall, then is routed in front of the...

When I had my plenum and runners off, I used "Aluminum Jelly" to bring them back to life. It removed the tarnish and the spots. You just brush it on and work it in with some stiff bristles and let it sit for a short time and rinse off with water. You might have to do it a few times, but it will...

When I did mine I found out you can remove all of the upper bolts on the plenum then take the lower bolts out of the runner on the passenger side first. Bossvette is right...there is a bolt hidden at the front of the runner that comes in from the driver's side underneath the runner very near the...
