    reasonably priced run flat?

    Afraid my reply won't help much, just replaced my Michelins with Michelins. They ride a little rough but I am satisfied with them.

    Craigslist Find: Modified 2001 Corvette - Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder?

    The only thing missing from this beauty is a name painted on the rear quarter on both sides as was the fad in the early '60's. The perfect name for her would be "MISS CARRIAGE". The second picture, the one with the sun reflecting just in front of the door looks like they used at least a new...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Sorry, but I don't know what an "EE" is. As to perhaps it is not the motherboard being fried, I have been trying to beat that horse to death here. I believe it could be some other component that is broken. But as the Title of this post states, "I am through banging my head against the wall...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    I have only owned my vette for about 3 months and it is my first, and I bought this problem, so it is mine. From what I have learned, and I can only assume that the information is legit, is that during those three years, 97, 98, and 99, they sealed the circuit board in some sort of Gel that was...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Yeah, his is a 2003 Z06 and the problem only exists with the 1997, 1998 and 1999. The 2000 on up can be at least be rebuilt rather inexpensively. That was why my question was if '97 to'04 are C5's and the computer for the '99 and 2000 are identical, could I not somehow swap out whatever for the...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Dadaroo; Thanks for all the help on this. The car goes in to Abel Chevrolet next week, so I will get a definitive answer to this question from an experienced Corvette owner and mechanic and I will surely let you know what is going on with this problem. Alternate...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Yes, I understand that, but my question is in my situation, is it possible that with both lights on, ABS is not working, TC light on, TC, AH are still working. Could the part, the EBCM be only partially broken? I am not grasping at straws here, it is just that I feel that the traction control...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Yes the AH and TC "LIGHT ON" and ABS light is also on. As I have said in all my postings trying to get this resolved in the last three months is that I am absolutely new to this. My understanding is that with the ABS light on, it means that the ABS is not functioning, but with the TC light on...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    I think you have stated the problem exactly as it is. I have come to the realization that the car is mine and I will just have to live with the ABS off all the time and the active handling control and traction control always on. Not really all that hard to live with, just annoying. Also...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    My car is a 1999 and the EBCM is shot. The years affected by these non replaceable, (except junk yard pieces which are also no good even if they work now), non repairable EBCM's is 1997, 1998 and 1999. So I don't think your solution would work in my case, but thanks for the effort. Do...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    Thanks for your reply, but the problem is only with the three years , 1997, 1998 and 1999 C5's. All the rebuilders say there are no longer any parts available and they suggest that everyone with this problem should just wait, something will come up in the way of a resolution to the problem.

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    In my heart of hearts I knew it was more than likely that it would not work, but I have only had the car a couple of months and was just grasping at straws. I don't mind the ABS being off so much, but the handling and traction being on all the time is a little much. Oh well, I will get used...

    Hypothetical question of C5 EBCM problemI am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I

    I am through banging my head against the wall trying to get this resolved, so I am going to try to think outside the box on this problem. Number one is that, and I am sure most are aware of what the problem is, in that GM does not make the unit anymore since their 10 year obligation is...

    options needed for sealing cowl to windshield

    Recently had the wiper motor replaced and when the cowl was removed, parts of the attached weatherseal disintegrated, so I scraped the remainder off the bottom of the cowl and now am having a heck of a time finding something to replace it. GM is willing to sell me a new cowl for lotsa bucks, so...

    1999 C5 gauge showing incorrect temp

    Thanks again. The temp sensor was replaced to the tune of $32.00 including labor. He has checked grounds, resistance in the wiring, battery corrosion under the battery box. Honestly, everything he could think of. The wife does not like him due to his attitude, calls him Mr Wonderful, but he...

    1999 C5 gauge showing incorrect temp

    Could really use some help with this problem. The problem started suddenly with the temp rising to 255 at a steady rate from cold within 2 miles. Took it to my mechanic and he cannot find the problem. Put his pyrometer to various points and got different readings at around 30 degrees cooler...

    replacement of front air dam on C5

    I lost the center section of the air dam on my C5 somewhere while driving and the temp went crazy. My question is I almost ordered the highly advertised "Big Mouth" and noticed comments in the forums that while it would work with the C4, it would not work as an improvement to the factory air...

    EBCM problem-Help

    Hey Dadaroo; Thanks for the heads up, but I have already paid for the removal and re-installation of mine, and if I were to do it again, it would preferably be done for the right part. Thanks again for finding that thing. Vince

    EBCM problem-Help

    Thank God I am the only person in the entire world that owns a 97-99 and has this problem. As I understand it, the replacement part from GM cost in the neighborhood of $240.00 from GM when available years ago and $700.00 from another site also from GM. Seems GM should put some effort into...
