When I got the car back, it had a terrible squeak from the dash (every bump, every seam). No way did I want to take it back to that dealer, so Country Chevy in Warwick, NY was...
We all post the negative experiences with dealers, and there are many, but for a change, in case anyone is looking for a dealer with a good service department, I suggest you give Country Chevrolet in Warwick, NY a try. The service manager is Bill Hanlan, but everyone there was super nice. Had a...
A reader on another forum has some questions on how to replace the key fob battery. I wrote up a detailed set of instructions, and thought it might be useful to post on this forum as well. The actual replacement procedure is for a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette C5, but the later models are similar...

Yes, the PCM was always stock.
As a matter of fact, the PCM had been last flashed in December '03 by the dealer, and it was absolutely perect after that -- I had wanted it kept that way.
Now they can't reverse it back to that programming. The service manager showed me the printout -- it states...
