    Corvette After Market Warranty

    Warranty direct has a rock solid reputation and many vette drivers use it. It's THE ONLY one I would consider besides GMPP.

    C5's - Now's the Time

    Yes, because they are five pounds lighter since they came without paint and just the silver primer from the factory, hence the color... vettboy did you miss the recall from GM calling them in to get painted when they noticed the defect??

    Rear Differential leaks

    Mine was overfilled as c4c5 points out. Drained exactly 5 oz. of excess lube out until it was level with the bottom of the fill hole. No more fluid coming out of the vent since then ... fixed

    C4 versus C5 ????????????

    I had a '96 LT4 Vert and a 96 LT1 coupe and now my 04 coupe. There is no comparison ... the C5 is the much more rounded car for performance and every day use. Period. Even though my C4s were technically less problematic.

    Another Optima red top problem

    The red top is a AGM battery and should NEVER be quick charged. The 10 amp charge you put on her was too much and heated the little liquid that is in such a battery to fumes. I wouldn't use more than a 2 amp charge on one of these. A 10 amp charge can make a regular lead acid battery boil...

    Axle shaft seal.

    Good point c4c5 ... my diff started leaking out of the vent tube this summer at about 4000 miles. After reading this thread today, I just opened the drain plug and caught 5 oz. of excessive fluid coming out of the diff. This was the fill level from the factory! The diff was still warm from...

    HELP!! Need recommendation for Corvette repair in the Triad, NC area

    My 2004 Corvette has sprung a leak at only 4000 miles. The dreaded rear diff leak at the driver's side flange has reared it's ugly head. Since it is still under warranty, I need people with experience to recommend a good Chevy dealer in the Triad, NC area. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High...

    Dealer dropped my C5 off lift -- need advice

    barneth .. was worries me about your case is the fact that there is nothing right now that would incentivise the dealer or pressure the dealer off their position. You are at a stalemate with them and GM and nothing but your weakening position is gonna change things until you gradually or all...

    Dealer dropped my C5 off lift -- need advice

    I absolutely agree!! First, I would IMMEDIATELY tell the dealer the car is hands-off for them until you can get an independent appraiser in there to evaluate the damage and also immediately retain an attorney. maybe even have the attorney instruct the dealer to have hands off the car . You...

    too tall for c5

    Actually, I am 6'6" too, 220 lbs. I had two C4s and fit relatively good into them. To sit comfortably in a C4, i had to take my shoes off since there was not enough room for my size 14 magnums down there. After taking my shoes off, i could put my feet behind the pedal and cruise comfortably for...

    Daily Driver?

    Yeah, I used to be like this with my 1996 Vette. She sat mostly for the four years I owned her and I only put 7500 miles on her during that time. I promised myself I will drive the new C5 since you do not lose a lot more money by driving it, you just deprive yourself of a lot more fun. These...

    front license plate on a C6?

    Here's how Dave Hill explained his intentions with the front license plate bracket to the Detroit auto show attendees. This sketch came right from his desk after nights of hard development and engineering work.

    1998 c5 A4 best fluid?

    I've come to the conclusion that I'd install a ATF cooler, run OEM GM Dexron III and change it more often, rather than going with the synthetic.

    Z06 exhaust on Coupe mod

    What's so much better about the Z06 system, except that it's made from Titanium and therefore more durable and lighter??
