    New-To-Me 1998 Corvette: Help Me Sort Out The Squawks

    If you get the "The DIC was issuing the "SERVICE TIRE MON SYS" message" thing figured out PLEASE let me know. Mine has been doing that for the 6 yrs, I've owned it (through 2 new sets of tires). I gave up and just hit the "reset" button as needed. I'm pretty sure it need new tire pressure...

    Heater-A/C Fan Making Terrible Noise

    Is the fan anywhere I can get to it to check and see if mice built a nest in there or there is a leaf caught or something? The higher I turn up the fan speed, the worse the noise. This is urgent, it's 90 degrees out today (with about 90% humidity) and I have a black interior - so even...

    Question: DIY Tranny fluid change in an automatic

    I've looked at a bunch of sites and am getting conflicting information on whether or not you can change the ATF yourself in an automatic C5. Has anyone here done it, if so what are the steps? Should the car be running or not when draining the fluid? ;help

    Question: What's your average speed?

    Mine says "Faster than everyone else" I should have that display checked though, it also says "CK Tire Press Mon Sys" whenever it feels like it ;LOL

    Front Plate used?

    I got pulled over yesterday for not having a front plate! :mad I've had the car 6 years in 3 different states without EVER putting the front plate on, I'm here 6 months and I get pulled over. HUMPHF. It was totally bogus - 2 motorcycle cops had a speed trap set up, no one was speeding...

    Help! Tranny fluid leak or ???

    Hey I'm back after an extended absence - with problems of course. When last we heard from our Heroine, a local SoCal dealership had effed up the bearing replacement. Got that "fixed". Found out the rear end linkage was also effed. Got that fixed. Was told the transmission fluid was the...

    Warning! The Bad News Saga, Part II or III

    Yeah, I was wondering if maybe they had a Taste Tester. :chuckle Guess what...after reaming out the Service Manager first thing this AM, who no doubt passed on my message, they claim it is fixed. THEY PUT THE NEW BEARING ON THE WRONG SIDE. Holy mother of... :bash I just hope that I have two...

    Warning! The Bad News Saga, Part II or III

    So I took the Vette to the Stealership 8 am Saturday. They called back about noon, said it needed a wheel bearing (covered by warranty), and that somewhere along the line the wrong differential fluid had been used, so it needed to be replaced with a synthetic (not covered by the warranty, $175...

    Help! Bad news or worse news?

    Semi-update (because I KNOW you are all on the edge of your seat wondering about this): last Saturday replaced the wheel which was not only cracked but bent to s#!*.
