  1. GM parts direct are GM parts same as i get them. they are also cheeper than i can buy them for from work but they get you on the shipping. but i can get them if you want.
  2. wow i haven't been there since i was maybe 12-13.
  3. brand new was $300, asking $200 in orginal box. The Craftsman Lift N Secure jack system, a Sears exclusive, is a revolutionary new jack system that incorporates jack stands nested into the floor jack. Simply position the jack under the chassis, raise the vehicle and then remove the jack, leaving the jack stands securely in place. Easy and convenient and safer too you never have to go under the vehicle to put in a jack stand. 2 Ton capacity with lifting range of 5-1/2 inches to 17 inches. A saddle (included) can be used to covert the system into a conventional jack with a lifting range of 6 -1/2 inches to 13 inches. Lift handle folds flat for quick, convenient storage. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950187000P?keyword=jack
  4. $49 and a link to someone that will give you a slow jack and ball rub.
  5. trade you my LS6 intake and throttle body? lol.
  6. your talking about in the valve cover. aftermarket intake must have decided it didn't need it lol.
  7. oh and LS6 heads have nothing to do with the PCV system.
  8. on the LS7 engines they have the PCV hose going into the air bridge (right before the throttle body maybe 3-4 inches away) but you need a catch can for sure so you don't suck all the crap through the TB and gum it up.
  9. heat soak can do some strange things.
  10. a blazer i had did that. i replaced the module and never had another problem. its a cheep fix.
  11. awesome, i'm so looking forward to running the whole season.
  12. SBC, BBC, and even LS1's are interference engines if the chain brakes at high RPM. ask me how i know lol.
  13. i must have missed it then. i know in the past few years they have lost alot of techs and i have heard some storys as well.
  14. Chevrolet Service hence why i asked why he didn't bring a Corvette to me.
  15. why didn't you bring it to me at Ricart?
  16. Obama's church lost it for me and there "Black Value System" http://www.tucc.org/home.htm http://www.tucc.org/black_value_system.html kinda racist for a church don't ya think?
  17. lol....why did you change the pick up in the first place? i mean how did you figure you needed to?
  18. uhhh......hold up on that then lol
  19. you can test it on my car if you want;)
  20. dare question me? lol Subject:Higher Than Expected Oil Consumption (Replace Rings and Engine Valley Cover) #01-06-01-023A - (06/19/2002) Models:1999-2001 Chevrolet Camaro 1999-2002 Chevrolet Corvette 1999-2001 Pontiac Firebird with 5.7L Engine (VINs G, S -- RPOs LS1, LS6) This bulletin is being revised to add model years for the Corvette, information on the LS6 engine and parts information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-06-01-023 (Section 6 - Engine). Condition Some owners may comment on higher than expected oil consumption. When checked, the oil consumption could be in the range of 400-600 miles per quart (700-1000 km/L). On the LS6 engine only, the technician may find oil behind the engine throttle plate and in the intake manifold. Cause The cause for this condition may be an interaction between the piston rings and the cylinder bore in vehicles that are operated at higher RPMs -- typically manual transmission vehicles driven in a manner where the engine is frequently or consistently operating at greater than 3200 RPM. On the LS6 engine only, the engine has a unique aluminum valley cover that has composite oil separating baffles and PCV plumbing incorporated. In some cases, the PCV baffle may not be properly sealed to the valley cover, causing oil to enter the PCV system. Correction On the LS6 engine only, replace the engine valley cover if oil is found behind the throttle body or in the intake manifold before replacing the piston ring. Refer to Engine Valley Cover Replacement in the Engine Mechanical - 5.7L subsection of the Corvette Service Manual. A new set of piston rings is currently available through GMSPO. The new rings are part of a complete piston ring kit. Install only the number 2 compression ring and the oil expander ring from the piston ring kit. All other rings in the piston ring kit should be discarded. The original number 1 compression ring and the oil ring rails should be re-used in their original positions on the piston. All pistons should be used in the same cylinder bore. Important: Do not dress or hone the cylinder bore. Nothing should be done to change the bore finish for this condition. Changing the bore finish may aggravate the condition. Refer to the Unit Repair Manual for appropriate ring removal and replacement procedure. The number 1 compression ring and the upper and lower oil expander rails are re-used because they are already broken in for the bore that they are in. The new number 2 compression ring is made with a very sharp edge that will break in quickly. Changing only the piston rings noted, with no change in driving style, should change oil consumption to an acceptable level. Changes in driving style that reduce the amount of time spent at higher RPMs will also positively affect oil consumption. In addition to the standard size piston ring kit listed below, a 0.25 mm oversized piston ring kit is available. The oversized piston ring kit should only be used in those rare instances where the cylinder bore size has been machined larger to accommodate the 0.25 mm oversized piston rings.

  21. before you lower it can you take 4 measurements for me? i want to know the hight from the top of the wheel well to the ground so i can see if my car has been lowered.
  22. 2001 LS6 engines had a problem with this and GM came out with a new set of rings to install on the pistons.

    ((insert terrorist know how joke here))
  24. the transmissions are different. there are a ton of differences between the two. www.corvettefourm.com has a shit ton of info on the C5 and Z06 as well as a lot of them for sale at good prices. i bought mine to race but i deffently like it better than a regular C5. i drive alot of vetts and the C5 Z06 will out perform a C6 on the track (one with turns and the drag strip if its a 05-07 MY) there is hardly any feed back from the road in a C6 and thats not a good thing on a track and the is also a lack of brake feed back on them as well. C5 smoother on the street. Z06 more race car feel on the street, cause well thats what it is. drive a few of both before you buy something.
