    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    I was looking at this last week. The window sticker percentages only totals 74% The percentages are some how the same for the auto and manual The 10L80 10 speed automatic is built in Romulus, Michigan. The TR-6060 6 speed manual is built in Querétaro, Mexico.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    12707563 was what I found for the 2022. I took another run at searching for LT4 oil pan images and found 12732265: Looking at the top down view (without the windage tray) it might be needed to machine an oil pump passage.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    What is a "oil cup plug"? I believe the LT4 oil pan used on the blackwing is GM 12707563 but I haven't been able to find any pictures.

    Jack Cooper Transport going out of business after almost 100 years

    The way I read it, Ford fired JCT and then later JCT quit GM. It also sounds like this industry this industry is not as profitable as it once was. This reminds me of the whole carbon fiber supplier fiasco.

    Jack Cooper Transport going out of business after almost 100 years

    Looking at their website it sure sounds like they do/did a lot more than "finished vehicle transportation" for only Ford and GM... Here's an interesting article about the industry: Auto Haulers Eye Initial Jack Cooper Tailwind in Weak Market Also: That makes it sound like JCT folded...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    My bet is that the transport delays over recent months are due to the transport company going belly up. Jack Cooper Transport going out of business after almost 100 years

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    The config I want to order is TLXJAH. The way I got there was to select the precision package then go back to the exterior tab. It'll have "competition oriented, summer-only tires" selected. Change it to "performance, summer-only" tires and you're there.

    Potential Tremec M6 Reverse Lockout Issue

    You reference part 24280288. I suspect that's a 19178634 plus the right angle adapter. It's the part I put in my 2007 Z06 when I noticed it wasn't really working. This lives on the top of the trans and wasn't easy to swap; I ended up removing the entire assembly and replacing the solenoid on...

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    I see it too, good eye! The print book clearly says "includes (J57) Carbon Ceramic Brakes" and there are many other examples of options that include other options that don't increase cost (e.g. colored brake calipers when you get J57 CCB brakes). Here's an example of a existing car that has...

    Seat Belt Chime Disable

    It's been awhile since I've done this but I thought all you had to do to disable the seatbelt chime was unplug the connector that goes to the seat belt? https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/07-13-seatbelt-chime-disable-no-cutting.732881/ If you look at the seatbelt receiver, there are two...

    Blackwing Constraints Tracker

    The configurator certainly lets you switch from "competition oriented, summer-only tires" to "high-performance, summer-only tires" after you select the precision package. It doesn't appear to change the total price. I actually think this a smart thing to do, get the car and run break-in miles...

    In a dilemma… Help.

    My 2014 CTS-V was a three year lease turn in and a certified pre-owned Cadillac and I'm pretty sure as part of the work to bring it up to spec they replaced the alcantara steering wheel and shifter; certainly they looked brand new when I got the car. But about three years later the steering...

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    I bet it's a bug in the window sticker render software. I created a custom build with the options in that sticker (U1LO3C) and the total for it is $148115, exactly $9000 less than the total in the window sticker.

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    This is how I did my CTS-V and C6 Z06 (both rear-battery cars).

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Sounds like you should stick with the automatic (or get a BMW?)

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Once I got my first car with steering wheel volume controls I pretty much stopped using the knob on the center console....
