    More Proof GM Col Lock fix is NG

    Had the recall done on my 1999 A-4 C5 Convertible last year. This month the DIC started to show "Service Column Lock"; it was drivable, just annoying having to clear the alarm on the DIC. Took it to dealer and it needed a new relay for the Column Lock Dealer had it for three days waiting on...

    Blackwing Installed - Idle Erratic

    C-5 Mechanics

    Good advice, I will get with my local Corvette Club (maybe see if they have or would host a message board for this topic) and check out their experiences with the local Dealers for service. Thanks for the feedback, if I learn any more in my "quest" concerning GM certs/classes or C-5 specific...

    Borla Exhaust Installation

    I had Mieneke install mine, cost $100 (I did keep the old exhaust should I decide to trade the car in at a later date). From looking at the stock exhaust after removal I do not see any torch cuts on anything (I know they did cut the old bolts with a torch, but I did not see them cut anything...

    What kinda mileage do C5s get?

    Last year doing a round trip from Maine to Dayton Ohio (960 miles each way), I averaged 27-28 MPG with my C-5 Automatic, this was done by calculator and fuel reciepts, and not the DIC, the DIC was real close though. Cheers Beer

    exhaust system

    I seem to have bad luck with the Dealers (Ford or Chevy), I inspected the work done at the 39,000 mile service on the Vette and I found the Hood Light disconnected, now I realize that the mech disconnected the hood light because the hood was up for servicing, but its the detail stuff (like...

    exhaust system

    I just put on the Borla Stinger four tips. Wife does not like it and commented that she does not enjoy driving the vette as much when it had the stock exhaust (now is this a bad thing? ;)). I like the muscle car sound, but it is harder to have a conversation, and the radio has to be turned up to...

    Radio LOC

    :D Yep That worked (the rwlc5 method)! Thanks a bunch! I got it started and moved it outside what I find odd is that everything still has its memory; the stations remembered the presets, the seats retained their memory, and the key FOB's for driver 1 and driver 2 do not need reprograming...
