    '05 Passenger Headlight

    Passenger Headlight in very good condition. Turn signal lens is "crazed". Main lens is excellent except for small chip at lower in-board corner. The chip does not compromise the integrity of the seal between lens and housing. There is a crack on the housing from the Turn Signal Socket opening to...

    Cyliner head removal 2004 4.6

    Did you perform a coolant pressure test? You can get a pressure test kit at most of the local auto parts stores as a "free loaner" tool. This should help you find where the coolant is leaking. If you have a head gasket that's just starting to leak it might not show up with the engine cold...

    Electrical Dead Short

    The pdf manual I have allows me to search (Ctrl F) which makes it pretty easy to find things. Not perfect but better than nothing. I also found that the both the manual and the wiring diagrams have some "issues". But for the most part they're pretty good. My 2 cents.

    Electrical Dead Short

    My budget manual has about 30 pages of wiring diagrams contained in a single PDF file for each of the model variations. It also has separate diagrams in the individual systems sections but the wiring diagram pdf is much easier to follow and is what I use.

    Engine Bolts

    I think I've discovered what the coating is on these engine bolts. It's a patented process called Dacromet. Unfortunately I haven't found a source for these bolts except the Auto Dealers. Apparently the patent costs are too excessive for these to be available through hardware stores or auto...

    Electrical Dead Short

    My $20 budget pdf manual from eBay does have the wiring diagrams. It includes all model years & the V-Spec cars. Might be worth the $20 just for the wiring diagrams.

    Fuel Rail Schrader Valve

    I finally got the car running reliably and had time to dig into this valve. There is a GM substitute part: 88894338. This is the Schrader Valve Core only (No cap). I picked one up at Autozone for under $10. It fits, it seals, its teflon, and it works with the Fuel Pressure Gauge (Tester). I had...

    Electrical Dead Short

    One of the things to keep in mind is that while the car is "off" there are lots of electrical circuits that are powered. Things like the RF Remote receiver, the power seats, parts of the ECM & BCM are powered so that when you press the "Start" Button on the Dash the car will start, etc. So while...

    Tight Steering Knuckles/Ball Joints

    Good to know. JustDennis lives nearby and has been generous with his time & his Tech2. He's stopped by several times and scanned the car for me. We've tried to do some more exotic things with the Tech2 but haven't figured out how to do them. In time we may figure out a little more.

    Tight Steering Knuckles/Ball Joints

    I'm game to try it if you are. So far the C0450 DTC hasn't come back so I'm not sure how valuable testing things will be. But, ya never know. My shop manual claims that testing the Steering Electric Motor requires measuring the current between the EBCM Module & the Steering Rack. Not an easy...

    Tight Steering Knuckles/Ball Joints

    Mickey, I've never seen Ball Joints tighten either. The guys at the shop that replaced the rack are VERY familiar with the 'vettes. They claim it's the same front suspension as the C6. They also claimed that it should move a lot easier than it did w/ the rack disconnected. They didn't have an...

    Tight Steering Knuckles/Ball Joints

    The rebuilder was a major issue when shopping for a rebuilt unit. I'll see if I can find out who the rebuilder was. There weren't a lot of high quality options. I wasn't sure who to source a rebuilt unit from but I was sure I didn't want it sourced from Cardone. In any event, the shop claimed...

    Tight Steering Knuckles/Ball Joints

    I just had my Steering Rack & associated hoses replaced. The previous owner of the car had the Power Steering Pump replaced less than 1000 miles ago so the entire steering system is now all new (rebuilt Rack). During the Rack replacement process the mechanics/technicians that worked on the car...

    Dennis, Contact MickeyTee at XLR.Net regarding the Fuel Level Sender Readings you get on your car. He seems to know something about these being "reversed" on the 06-09 cars. Rick

    Big Thank You to JustDennis

    Just wanted to give forum member JustDennis a BIG THANK YOU for going out of his way to help me get my car running. He's stopped by my place several times to advise, tinker, WORK, & scan the various systems with his Tech2 device. He's been a BIG help. Can't thank him enough.
