21 years ago when our house was built, I went with tile in the garage. It has been incredible. It doesn't care about fluids, it cleans easily and hasn't chipped or cracked even with my wife's 4-door Jeep Wrangler Diesel. Took me a minute to find someone willing to do the job, but 20+ years...

As others have said…it’s the tires. It’s also your springs, but that’s a different conversation. You aren’t smarter than GM’s chassis engineers. They are some of the finest in the world. As for the TPC PS4S, it’s not the same tire you would buy from Tire Rack or Costco. The outer bands are...

Lights that are set as a result of a transient condition will reset after three on/off cycles. The code is still stored, but the light will go off. Battery disconnect is a must since these cars 'pre-initalize' when the key fob is in close proximity.

I had those on my 1LE in black. That pic is 11” front, ET11, 11” rear ET35. Ran 305/30-19 RT660s.

100%. They already make the rears in bronze. Just need those fronts.

Isn't that the truth! I rarely deviate from OEM fluids/filters/parts...when I do it's usually for a specific use case and after some time reading what is out there. I tend to over-service all of my and my family members cars also. Although I believe I service them at a reasonable interval. :D...

TREMEC HP-MTF™ MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID We get the question all of the time, “What kind of oil do you guys recommend?” And now, we’re pleased to announce our definitive answer -- “TREMEC oil, of course!” Developed in conjunction with world-class automotive and industrial lubricant...

Well, that is even more bizarre. So the -6060 in the BW4 says to run MTF, but the -6060 in the BW5 says to run Dexron? Any ideas why?

Of course. For me the essential part of the equation is: when you buy directly from TREMEC and they are responsible for the warranty, they recommend HP-MTF. GM validated the Dexron in the -6060 not because it's better, but because it's cheaper for GM to use one less fluid type across the models.

Well, it certainly is ATF in the BW5 with the -6060. And if you go to Redline and others to find what their equivalent product is...it's 'straight' ATF. D4 ATF - Quart Our most versatile ATF, use where Dexron III®, Dexron II®, Mercon® and...

Great in-depth breakdown! When I got my 6th Gen, I bought the service manual (pg 12160 in mine). It was emphatic about the procedure to not overfill the case. The whole 'bend mechanics wire 1/8' in length' or remove 8oz once you fill to the bottom of fill port. When researching best care and...

100% not required, but certainly won't hurt. I used to do a -6060 fluid swap at the end of every racing season. They made it easier on the Blackwing by moving the temp sensor to a different port. Just be sure to use the GM OEM fluid OR the TREMEC HP-MTF. Don't go into the redline/amsoil, etc...

Sport - Competitive Mode is usually what is used for Drag.

General rule for all GM products: if it disables TC, it’s reset with an engine start. Been that way since C5. Corvette, Camaro, Caddy all work same.

Yes
