    Question: Mouse nest in air intake.

    Hi everybody! It's been years since I have been here, and I wanted to know if anybody else had the issue. I had my 98 C5 covered in the driveway last fall waiting for it's parking spot to free up for the Winter, and apparently some critter found an opportunity to get a nice place ready for the...

    Tires swapped.. Pressure sensors?

    I swapped my front tires side to side to aid in diagnosing an alignment problem. What happens with the pressure sensors? Do they just pick up the signal from the wheel that's there, or will I show right pressure on my left tire unless I reprogram the sensors? Thanks:w

    Tirerack comes through again!

    I ordered a set of Kuhmo Ecxta ASX's for my 98, and there they were sitting in front of the garage exactly 48 Hrs. after I got the shipping confirmation. It's so nice to do business with a company that consistantly delivers a quality product and gets them there fast. Good work Tirerack and UPS!

    Painful seats

    My friend traded his 2005 C6 in for a 2006 Z06 last fall. Now that he has put a few miles on it, he tells me that his back hurts after about an hour of driving it where it didn't with the C6 sport seats. Does anybody here know if the C6 sport seats can be interchanged into the Z06, or...

    Harmonic balancer is wobbling.

    I was putting my 82 L83 away for the winter today, when I noticed my harmonic balancer is out of center and looks like the rubber is extruding out the back. What are my options? Do I need to replace anything other than the balancer itself? Thanks in advance.

    700R4 leaks

    Hi all, My tranny has been leaking fluid since I got a rebuild a few years ago. It seems to be coming from the torque converter seal area, since there is fluid dripping out the hole in the inspection cover. I have pulled it twice and put new shaft seals in the input and output and it still...

    Shortage of X-Pipes?

    After cracking the flange off my X-pipe on one side, I have been trying to find a replacement set from Borla, Corsa. or anywhere. But all of them are temporarily out of stock. I would like to upgrade from the stock catbacks but nothing will fit right until I get the X-pipe flange rotation...

    2000 Vette under construction.

    I looked out my living room window yesterday to see this sight parked across the street. Something didn't look quite right about it, so I wandered over and talked to the owner. First of all it was parked in the gutter so the rear looked too low. I found out that he has 20" wheels on the rear...

    I knew it was going to happen.

    I took my 98 in for the Column Lock Recall today, and though that seems to be working, the service guy scratched my dashboard on the side and for some reason the ignition lock is loose in the dashboard. Now I get to fix it because they say it wasn't anything they touched.:mad I knew it wasn't...

    My muffler fell off!

    This morning I went to jack up the rear end to take my wheels off to get the tires balanced and my right pipes were hanging at an angle. I touched the tip of the pipes and the muffler pipe fell off the Cat pipe at the flange. The weld has broken loose at the flange on the long pipe with the Cat...

    E-Brake adjustment on a 98

    Hi all, I'm trying to figure out why my emergency brake is not working on my 98 C5. I have replaced the rear disks and adjusted the shoes so they just barely touch the drums without dragging. The cables that go to the actuators seem to have some tension on them and the return springs are...

    C5 front wheel bearing.

    Hi all, I'm in the middle of putting new slotted and drilled brakes on my '98 coupe. I am getting a clunking feel when I rotate the right front wheel bearing forward and reverse directions about a half turn. It just clunks once when i reverse directions. The left side doesn't do that. I have...

    Jacking points?

    Hi all, I need to put my '98 up on jackstands in order to determine why my parking brake doesn't work. Where are the support points to place jackstands on the rear? I have some new rotors on order so I will have to put the back off the ground in order to figure out if my warped rotors and lack...

    The Meeses are setting up shop!

    I just looked under the hood of my '79 Electra parked in the garage and there's a pile of Maple seeds an inch thick on my heater box. Now, the '98 Vette is parked next to it and I'm afraid to pop the hood. I guess I will get some moth balls tomorrow and put them under the hood. The only problem...

    Hot blower air when cornering.

    Hi all, I just got my '98 C5 Vette 3 months ago, I don't know if this is normal or not. When I go around a corner the heat comes on super hot as if the coolant is sloshing to one side of the engine block and boiling off. I have seen this with older V8's when the coolant level gets low, but...
