    CT5-V 2023 Blackwing tow truck driver forgot parking brake = 😢

    To prevent a misleading post title about a 5BW stock engine failure, it should include what I underlined at a min. As previously mentioned, always someone faster! I also love the EV comparison, wait till you need to buy new batteries in future and what that costs… 2023 CT5-V Blackwing engine...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Spotted a sharp looking Rift color 4BW this morning driving through the parking lot by O’Rileys auto parts off hwy1463 in Katy. Car was super clean, carbon bits & black satin wheels. Wondering if you are a member on this forum?

    Serial Data Gateway Module recall

    As I searched around, seems to be for 2024 model of GM vehicles focused on Truck & SUV’s. I couldn’t find any Cadillac except the Escalade, but, that’s why I checked on both of my 2022 GM vehicles. Interesting that they would say they need a 2hr road test, wow. Sorry, I wouldn’t accept that and...

    Window delamination, Anyone else?

    Are you sure that isn't something between the tint and the windshield? Maybe a tint gone bad and you can have the tint person check? I have seen windows delaminating before, but looks a little different. I guess still could be, but the car & glass is still young. When I had dealers replace...

    All those sweet sounding 10 spd autos in those videos banging gears 👍

    Anderson Composites vs..

    @Squatch hi Katy neighbor! Great to see someone else in the area on here with a BW & a 5BW. Maybe we can meet up one day. For my 22 5BW, I added the factory rear spoiler shortly after buying the car and love the gold hue. I received a great price deal using Cadillac points and worked a deal...

    5BW Cylinder Deactivation

    My 2022 GMC was the same way, no chip. Explains the real cost of the chip for $50 credit 😂

    5BW Cylinder Deactivation

    Correct, only active on the 10 spd autos.Yep, the hardware is in the engine regardless of transmission. I have the auto and I never feel it. I have extended warranty should it ever fail.

    Used Value Trend

    Yeah, the 2022 cars were priced where they should have been and 2023 and later price increases were too much! At the new price levels with similar options, it opens up to more choices with other brands.

    Hey @poor-sha, how many miles on your car?

    Carbon Fiber Front Lip Installation 5BW

    The correct number is 8443226. I have no clue what the other fits, but it’s not a 5BW.

    Interesting, I haven’t been prompted since Oct 2022, after setup.

    Password for Connected Services

    I drove my car this past Sunday after 4wks of sitting and not touched. It did not prompt me to enter my password as an fyi. I had to start it to move it this evening out of the garage to get something, still no prompt as a couple of reference points.

    CTV4 Blackwing Tire Rotation

    In the manual, yes there is a section stating what you said. However, Under the maintenance section footnotes, it also states the following: (1) Vehicles with different size front and rear tires do not have tire rotation. So, the manual somewhat contradicts itself. Anyway, this is the 7th car...

    CTV4 Blackwing Tire Rotation

    You can do side to side, but what do you plan to achieve by doing it? Sorry, I don’t see the gain for the risk of damaging your side rockers. If the tires were all the same size, of course it makes sense. Good luck.

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    According to parts.cadillac.com, the 5BW rear spoiler new part # is 85517784, if that is what you are seeking. Jameson’s Viggen updated his post if I remember correctly around Jan 2023. I believe others also have posted the number changed if you search even further. parts.cadillac.com has...

    Anderson Composites vs..

    @mad1100 wow. Those many gaps being on top are tough to accept if it was my car. If they were on the bottom where I couldn’t seem them, then different story. I’m shocked that the body shop didn’t notice these before installing the piece as they are noticeable IMO. I don’t know Andersons policy...

    Excessive wear on front tires

    Too many unknowns and variables on the OP post. As BimmerFan stated, HP tires usually have a short lifespan. Instead of “hoping” they will make an adjustment to your alignment, have a discussion on your driving habits with the alignment person. A good alignment person will listen and tweak the...
