Oops! Title should be on '95 not '05. I no longer get heat and AC is getting poor also. After spending a small fortune at the local Chevy dealership I've isolated the problem to the door not opening in the duct. I have the automatic climate control and the codes say the door is commanded to...

I agree. If the car was too fragile to jack up it would crack when you went over a railroad crossing or a speed bump. Can you imagine the engineers at Chevrolet designing a car that had to be taken apart to go over a bump? I jack my 95 up without taking anything off or loosening anything and...

Try using some epoxy. Remove the screws, inject a little epoxy into the screw holes, screw in the screws and before the epoxy completely sets, remove the screws. This should give you a new clean thread to work with. I think you can also coat the screws with Vaseline so that they don't stick...

I'm looking for a good and honest mechanic in Wichita, KS to work on my Corvette. Does anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks, :beer

If I had given up, I wouldn't be here asking for help. :beer

Ok, my 95 has 49980 miles on it and I want to replace the serpentine belt. I see the manual says to move the tensioner. I get out my breaker bar and my socket and lo and behold, I can't get my breaker bar and socket in the space. There's some framework about 2 inches in front of the bolt on...

It was intended to be a garage queen. However, it is currently my daily driver. When I was single I had 3 cars. Now I'm married and I only have 2. I drive it rain or shine and even in snow. Last year I had to leave it in the street in front of my house for a couple days. I tried to drive...

Yep, the Corvette is high quality, top to bottom, front to back, inside and out. Er, oops, not inside. I guess you have to take a crap someplace. As far as the Blowse goes :puke

That's too bad. Dave Hill spoke of this as if it was a done deal. He stated that Chevy had most certainly heard its critics and addressed this issue. This was back in 2002 I think. It's a shame that the interior quality of a Toyota Camry is better than the quality of a Vette. Maybe they'll...

You mean like the crappy materials on the interior or did they finally fix that with the C6? Dave Hill told a bunch of us at a presentation in Denver that they were going to address the crappy interior quality when they brought out the C6. I don't know if they did or not.♠

Thanks Toms01. It was my first thought too and then I was told I was just plain wrong. That's when I looked up howling in my service manuals and it said the posi unit. DUH! Well the problem WAS the posi unit. I thought I was going to have to replace it but the problem was it needed the...

Yep, I thought it was important to let people know what fixed the problem so they'll take the advice of the others and try this first. $10 vs. $1500 sure makes a difference. And then there's that added bonus of watching someone's head swell. :upthumbs Cheers.

They had electric doors on the Bricklin also and it was a bomb. I heard if your battery died you were stuck in the car. ;shrug

Well it was the posi making the noise. 1 container of additive and she shut right up. It was howling all the time (when I turned) regardless of temperature. After the additive I haven't heard it again. I just wanted to let folks know what the final result on this item was. Thanks to all for...

I took them from my submarine. :upthumbs

Thanks Hib. My manual says it's the posi. The symptoms say it's the posi. I'm just hoping that all it needed was new gear oil and some additive. If that doesn't do it, I've already found a rebuild for $350. I just have to find some local expert to do the work for me. I can't justify all...

Thanks LT4man. I just assumed it was a torx because everything else on my car is torx. I probably have a 17mm allen. If not, I'm sure there's one at work. I guess it's a good thing I didn't make it to Sears yet. I guess I'll drop by and get that hand pump. I still have to get 8 oz of...

Excellent! A small funnel I have. Perhaps the hose from the turkey baster thing will fit onto the funnel. Tomorrow I go shopping. Does anyone know what size torx I need? I could always just buy the next bigger set. I think my biggest one is about 1/4". I think the size needed is either...

Thanks LT4man. I hope that's all it is. I just jacked up the car to put in the posi lube and I don't have a torx big enough. My set stops just below the needed one. Arrgghhh!!! While I was under there I studied what it is going to take to drop this diff and it's definitely more than a...
