Well, I just had the dealer replace the passengers side fuel sending unit on my 2000. It would frequently send my gauge to empty and set off all kind of warnings. I could reset it and it would work for a while. During this time of trouble, the gas gauge would never go to the full mark when I...

Quick description of what I did: My 1975 Corvette front calipers were leaking so, replaced both front calipers, with new pads and new GM rotors. Installed new master cylinder. I bled the system and was satisfied with the braking function. Took the car on three local outings over about a 3 week...

Need a little advise :) The steering wheel on my 75 convertible is getting worse. I don't drive it a lot and it stays covered but the problem is that there is a sticky feeling to the steering wheel and it gets black stuff all over my hands. It seems worse when it is hot and humid (which is...

Can anybody give me the GM part number for the EBCM below? Delphi/Delco -ABS-5-TCS-AH Model# 09360921 The local dealer advised that the part has been purged from their computer and could supply. I think I may have tracked down a company that has a rebuilt one for a reasonable price but he...

I brought my 2000 convertible to my mechanic (dealer mechanic that does work on the side) and he found that I need to change the A.I.R. smog air pump. He wanted $400 labor to do the job but that sounds like a lot. He says that the unit is located under the headlight on the drivers side. I...

I know someone on here has an answer to this problem. My 2000 convertible has some very strange gremlins living in the drivers door. I have often suspected a short somewhere since I get so many intermittent warning lights and system problems. I think I have narrowed it down to the drivers...

Another gremlin. Went outside to get the 2000 ready for a early morning ride on an unusually cool Aug. morning in Louisiana. Opened the drivers door and reached in to push the buttom to pop the rear hatch. Nothing............... looked inside and noticed that there were no lights on inside...

I would like to first thank all the people that tried to help and you are all a great bunch of folks. I believe that I have reached the point where owning this C5 is no longer fun. The electrical gremlins have gotten the best of me and now that I have retired, I don't have the money to keep...

I have searched and can't find my exact problem. I have a2000 convertible with 33k miles. A few months ago my battery went dead and was replaced. This began a string of problems that I can't help but believe aresomehow related. Was having no problem with any of these things before batt. problem...

Have you done any work on the tach. in your C3? Mine has been doing some strange things and not sure where the problem is. I took the 75 out for a ride the other day,:D after sitting for several weeks, and noticed that the tachometer was not working. The needle was pointing between and 15 and...

Why can't anything be easy when working on these C5's? I changed the oil today on my 2000 convertible after the % reached 25. I forgot that this car uses 6 qts. of oil when i picked up the 5 qt. jug of Mobil 1. I changed the oil without incident but when I started the car the low oil warning...

The 75 had been sitting for about 2 or 3 weeks without being run so my wife and I decided to take her out and get supper. Started it up to drive home after a good meal and drove about 1/2 mile then the engine just stopped running. No sputter or bucking or anything just dead. I was able to...

I am about to change both of my radiator hoses on my 2000 with 14k. The top hose looks very easy. I can not see the radiator end of the lower one. How is this accessed? If I take off both of the hoses, can I assume that most of the fluid will drain out? I need to know so when I figure the...

Can anyone suggest a good service manual for my 2000? I have the assembly manual for my 75 and would like to have a good reference book for my 2000.

I was at a local auto glass company today having a rock chip in the windshield of my 2000 repaired. As I was leaving, I started the car and began to back out of the service bay. The vehicle moved a little and the engine died. I put it back in park and restarted the engine. Put the car in...

My wife and I just got back from a weekend in Orange Beach, AL at "Fun in The Sun" Corvette show. What a great event! Going to be even better next year because the location where it is being held, "The Warf" will be finished construction and fully occupied. I strongly recommend that you try...

I know that I will find the answer here so can anybody explain the deal with the driver doors on corvettes? I have a 75 that sounds just like the "new" 2000 when you close the drivers door. The passenger door sounds solid on both vettes but the drivers door sounds like something is loose...

After purchasing the 2000 this past weekend, I now have to make a decision on the insurance. I have collector insurance on my 75 and that is no problem because it is used very little. I could add my new one onto my family car insurance for about $1400 year. Grundy will cover it for $420 a...

The lower crank pully has a slight wobble and I was told by my Chevy Dealer that the pully needed to be replaced and would cost between 5 and 6 hundred. They said that the Corvette must have sat for a long time without being started and the tension on the belts caused a flat spot on the rubber...

What should I use to detail under the hood on all of the black plastic parts? I thought about just using Armor All but decided that I better check before I start wiping everything down and cause some damage.
