    Floor jack for ct5v blackwing

    All the 4-posts I know of are lifts with wheels installed. No 4-posts I know of that let you lift from frame.

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    Yikes. That’s a lot for not much coverage. It’s a GM Extended warranty that can be used at any dealership. It shows in GMs system as a new warranty expiration date. You can shop around for best price.

    No Global B flex fuel support !

    Oh. I see what you are saying. DSX won't sell you the actual physical assembly. I assume it's a different design than the DSX for the LT engines?

    Floor jack for ct5v blackwing

    So...it's far more drama than any car I have had before to get all 4 wheels off the ground. I had a QuickJack 5000EXT, but it wasn't long enough to reach the lift points on the pinch welds. I sold it and got the 6000ELX which DOES lift the car quite nicely. But I only have CF1. While I was...

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    You can freeze your LexisNexus file. That way no matter what sources are reporting into it, they can't report any information out of it. Freeze is free and permanent until you unlock it. https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/freeze

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    With abject humility, I present a portion of my session in the wet. I can't emphasize enough how much water there was. The video doesn't do a good job showing the rain. Note the river running across the track right after long straight. You could spin the tires at any speed in any gear.

    Any wheel mfrs done/found max/ideal wheel & tire measurements?

    https://apexwheels.com/fitment-guides/cadillac You can also get a custom set from many manufacturers...BC Forged and Signature come to mind. Your question is a little vague, BTW. 'Ideal' for what use? Street only? Track? Winter driving?

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    My ride all through High School was a 1954 Ford F100. Loved that truck. Straight pipes...starter on the floor. Took all of my burgeoning automotive skills to keep it running. Awesome experience...rebuilt the carb, learned about distributors and drum brakes. This isn't my truck but a pic similar...

    Track Mode

    FYI - Competitve Mode (Sport - hold button down for 5 sec) and Track - All off are the only modes that provide full engine power at all times. Guys who drag their cars, Competitive Mode is the preferred mode.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Glass half full situation. It was certainly an opportunity to 'fully explore' how these cars handle in adverse conditions. Limited top speed on the track, but it was an absolute blast to slide the thing around basically every corner. Very confidence building seeing just how good the PS4S tires...
