    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    you are correct in that is is a KA band the V1 has issues with. Use the V1 app and connect to your V1 via Bluetooth. Then go into the settings and set up custom frequencies to exclude 35.100. See screenshot below on how it should look. Note I do not have X band enabled as it is not used around here.

    CT5-V What are the torque specs for the front and rear brake caliper mounting bolts?

    I can’t imagine red loctite is specified for bolts you ever plan on removing. That requires serious heat to break the bonds. Blue loctite would be what is typically used for bolts you plan on removing in the future. If the fronts have thread locker pre-installed then just see what color it is...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I was going to do the ‘ball bearing hack’ on my Quickjack but decided to go with casters instead. They do raise the Quickjack off of the ground around 3/4” but there is still lots of clearance (about an inch) under a 5BW. Here is a video of the ones I bought (note: not my video).

    Companion to BW

    I had a V8 Durango as a rental car for a week about 5 years ago. I was surprised how much I enjoyed driving it. I am not the target audience for a full size SUV. But I can appreciate a car that handles well for its size and is not boring.

    Tire Monitor Fix

    What are you doing for the relearn process? Are you using the tool or just driving around? When I swap to my track wheels (no relearn), I do not get an error until about about 20-30min. I am guessing it has to not recognize the sensors for a certain distance before it will display a code. I...

    CT5BW CCB front brake pad part number & price change

    They look exactly the same. GM has not said what the difference is. Both can be used on the CCB of any year as the calipers are the same across all model years.

    Garage Lifts - Recommendations

    Since you are trying to use one jack for 3 cars, best to measure the distance between the lift points on each car and see if one jack will work for all of them. Quickjack had a good article on how to figure out which model you need. https://www.quickjack.com/support/measuring-guide/

    CT5-V 26 CT5V

    You have a production week. After that, it is up to GM logistics. I have noticed it getting better. After production, it seems it might now only take 1-2 months to get to the dealer. Still not great, but better than before. Only variable is the how the winter weather might impact things...

    CT5-V 26 CT5V

    Hard to say regarding your dealer and wait times. It depends on how frequently they get allocations and where you are in their priority list (or even if they have a list). Another factory is whether GM has any options you want on constraint (such as CF). Production is scheduled to go all the...

    Savage Cadillac just released door puddle lights (not mirror)

    I can’t recall exactly what I did to get it to release but I did use a small flat blade screwdriver. You press on the side. I did have to play around with it a bit to get it to release.

    New 2026 CT5-V Owner

    Welcome! It depends how much you want to get into the “performance” part of you car. The car is plenty capable right out of the box. The local PNW Porsche/Audi/BMW clubs have advanced driving schools when you take your car and they teach emergency braking, slalom, skid pad and autocross. I do...
