    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    Update on this: I sent an email to my salesman on Thursday and he said he forwarded it to the service manager. I brought the car in on Saturday along with pictures and the written request below. I gave one copy to the service adviser and one to my salesman. I asked to speak to the service...

    OEM parts diagram / vendor for 5 Blackwing

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I am actually looking for OEM parts - these are not sold at Advanced Auto, etc. Amazon sometimes has them from 3rd party sellers, but you have to have the GM part number. Rock Auto actually has a few OEM parts for Mopars (at really good prices too), but not...

    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    I want to give the dealer a chance to make this right before stating which it is, but it is one of the higher volume blackwing dealers in the LA area - give me a couple of weeks before I trash them publicly - hopefully they'll fix everything and I can instead say how they bent over backwards to...

    The Wave Metallic thread

    The natural state of my blackwing - it's litterally spent more time on the lift than on the ground since it was delivered to the dealer

    OEM parts diagram / vendor for 5 Blackwing

    Bump. Am I the only one that can't figure out how to look up and buy OEM parts for a 5 Blackwing? (Websites work for me for 2022 4 Blackwing but not the 22 or 23 5 Blackwing) Either there is something currently wrong with GM's backend that serves all these websites, I'm too dumb to use the...

    CT5-V Does your 5 Blackwing have this part (Rear Tire Front Air Deflector)

    Does your 5 have this part? Yes or no? Also, please include your model year, transmission and which (if any) carbon fiber package you have. (This is in front of the rear wheel) Got my new car (with 11 miles) from the dealer after a transmission replacement and found a number of fasteners...

    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    Update on this. I decided to take delivery of the Blackwing. Since Wave metallic has been discontinued there was no way I was going to get one of these in that color (especially with the options I wanted) unless I took this one. It drove fine on the test drive - no transmission issues. I...

    New from TN

    How is it optioned? Might be the one I backed out of (black raven with black mid seats, 6mt, NO sunrof, ccb, red calipers, pdr, and parking package)

    OEM parts diagram / vendor for 5 Blackwing

    Can anyone tell me how to find parts for a CT5-V blackwing? If I go to the link below, I can find 4 Blackwing parts, or 5-V (non Blackwing parts), but nothing comes up for a 5 Blackwing. I've tried 5 different online vendors and get the same results. Tried a different browser and that doesn't...

    Door Alignment - Adjustable?

    Interesting. The dealer found some noise in the trans and replaced the trans before I ever saw the car. It was up on the lift for at least a week straight. When I saw it, it was lifted at the pinch welds at the back (couldn't see the front, but there is rubber on the pinch welds in the front...

    Door Alignment - Adjustable?

    Just picked up my 5 on Saturday. Doors are misaligned. Paint has lots of "runs" at every panel edge and at least one fisheye on the hood by the fender. The runs are so bad I thought one panel had a crease in it, but the salesman convinced me it was a paint defect and not the sheet metal. My...

    Got a quote for a custom exhaust

    Are those of you changing your exhaust doing before and after dyno runs, or do you just want it loud all the time (in which case you should just install glass packs - if you can get them to fit in the space available). Agree the sound of the V8 is most of the value of the 5 over the 4, but the...

    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    When I got the text message asking me to call the salesman - before I heard anything about a transmission - I assumed it was something to try to get me to back out as they found another buyer willing to pay a higher price. I really was not pleased with the $7,500 ADM request and almost walked...

    CT5-V New CT5-V Blackwing needs new transmission prior to delivery. What to do?

    My car got delivered to the dealer 3 days after I left for a month-long trip. Since I am traveling and couldn't come into the dealership in person, we had a couple weeks of back and forth on the price (they wanted $7,500 ADM and I convinced them this sale was going to happen at MSRP). Got a...

    Anyone want a $94k 4BW?

    94k is better than $101k. It's been available there for a couple of months - they called me a couple of months ago trying to get me to buy it. I told them that was 5 Blackwing money. At least they ordered it with a 6 speed...

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    RPOs IOS IOT and UDV (and their descriptions - these are for the instrument cluster and dash screen) are exactly the same in 23 and 24. I could be wrong, but this tells me the interior isn't getting an upgrade. To your point, yes lower CT5s get a different IC, but that was the case for 23, and...

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    It appears GM used the new blue metallic and black tricoat from 2011-2018 and 2011-2015 respectively. Was hoping carmax wound have a used car in these colors close to me so I could see them on a car, but no luck https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?code=GQM&manuf=GM&rows=50...

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    Thanks to @LF4472 who posted the link the the ordering guide in another post, I found the CT5 order codes for '24. Looks to me like GM authority is wrong about the new instrument cluster? Order guides for the IC / second screen look identical to me, but I could be wrong. (see below) Makes...

    Buy the 2023 4BW or wait for refresh (2024)

    Is this "online" in a GM system or on the internet? I'd be interested in one for the ct5. Any chance you can post a link or a screenshot for the ct5?
