    Tricks with our switches

    Here's some not so good news. I just bought a new nav dvd set and 1791 no longer works. As a matter of fact, the only time you can see the turn list is when you are stopped. If you are in the section where the turn list button is on the screen and you can press it and the list comes up, if you...

    How much of our XLR's are Corvette under the top body? Other than the engine and maybe the transmission, everything else is C5/C6 Corvette. It's made in the same plant, out of fiberglass/composite that's thicker than the Vettes. It sure is more unique than a Corvette. You see Corvettes all over...

    Tricks with our switches

    CC: Yes one the access code. Sandy told me about that a couple of years ago when I first got my XLR. I use that on long trips and mostly at night. Top Gun sounds good too. Stlla: I belive you enter the same code as you do for the DVD, then you can look up POI's with out having to pull over and...

    I agree, the XLR's are a rare breed in my area. I've only see three others in my area plus mine, in a two year period so far. None of them were a V, just the base model.

    Sounds good! Any resonance or drone at 60 to 70 mph? That's the important part for me. My Corvette had a real bad drone, it felt like I had a toothache all the time when trying to cruise at those speeds.

    Important! Brakes gone wild!!

    This may or may not help you. I ran into the stability track needing service and under warrantee the steering column part was replaced. While driving I would get that message and along with that I would see speed restricted to 80 mph, radar not operating, all of the gauges going nuts, and a...

    How do they sound compared to stock? They look good. I have the rear sway bar, would this install and fit without moving the bar? :dunno:

    Have you ever wave at a Corvette and the driver waved back then watch him/her look back to see exactly what kind of car you're in? I seem to have confused a few C7 drivers lately. :laugh:

    Va. Beach/Outer Banks XLR Trip May 3-9, 2015

    XLR'S really look sharp! Nice to see a dozen all lined up. This is the first time I've seen signs in a parking garage that reserved parking spots for any make of car. Great idea for large groups. Thanks for posting the pictures. Looks like 8 out of 12 don't have front license plates. I'm...

    Tricks with our switches

    CC you gave me some info :thumbsup about holding down the traction button for several seconds and that will also turn off the stability track system too. Great when you're going to autocross. Are there any other tricks that we can do that are not listed in our owner's manual? I know when your...

    Oil Catch Can

    I'm not getting an excessive amount of oil, just a "Normal??" amount. I'd rather get zero amount if I can. It's better to have gas and air entering you engine than gas, air, and oil no matter how much oil or oil vapor it is. Just my thinking. I'm going to add a can to my engine. It's easier...

    Top 10 Automotive Failures

    They were not very nice to the XLR's. I don't care what people that write these articles say, we sure enjoy our XLR. :( I just FINALLY RETIRED!!! last week. Now everyday is Saturday!! Around the end of September we plan on taking a trip from Oregon to Quebec, the south via Vermont, down to...

    Important! Brakes gone wild!!

    Can you turn both back on without shutting the engine off or does it reset to both on after you shut down then restart? :dunno: :patriot:

    Fuel gauge stuck at 2/3 full

    I add the large bottle. I don't think it's overkill even if it is for a 20 gallon tank and I add it when I'm at a half of a tank or 10 gallons. I tried a bottle of Stanadyne for gas, it was for an 18 gallon tank and I added it when I had 10 gallons already in the tank. I also had Techron in the...

    Say what??!! GM argues they license car software to us so ONLY they can work on it

    I bought a 2004 6.0 super cab, the engine was one of the first 6.0's, it is a 2003 engine, so the sticker on the engine says. This truck had all kinds of power, it was very quiet when at idle. I took it back to the dealer for an egr problem. These engines puke coolant at times due to the egr...

    top down cruising, dirty interior ??

    Wells SOME of the pictures look like what I see on my Thunder Gray and after watching a youtube flick of a bee pooping, I'd say they DO poop on my ride along with all of the tree pollen from the oak, ash, and alder and what ever else we have growing out here. Glad I have a garage and don't have...
