    Tap out Tuning order question

    You may not get pulled over for that specifically, but if they get you say for speeding, surely they'll add on the citations for everything else you didn't do.

    3400 STATUS HELL! HOW LONG DOES A BLACKWING STAY IN THIS STATUS?

    Last model year, my 4BW took a month to go from 3400 to 3800 near the end of MY25 production. This is the beginning of a new model year so it may take longer. It's called the goat rodeo for a reason.

    Tap out Tuning order question

    Make sure to add on an air box lid with oversized MAF tubes. Another way to get the ECU to command more boost. But ask Tapout- it may not be needed with the JB4 especially if you get the boost control module (BCM) for the JB4.

    25 CT5 Blackwing - first software update (failed twice) GM 33.00

    Wonderful that they have to warn you that everyone will be stuck inside once the update starts. I would have hated to be the poor bastard that found out the hard way.

    Doing my part! 😂

    Look at all the other automation people demand in their cars: auto high beams, auto rear view, auto climate control to include defogging, auto heated wheel, auto heated & cooled seats, a nav that tells you exactly where to go, mostly autonomous driving and the list goes on. People are looking...

    Anybody running amsoil euro 5w40?

    I saw some videos that showed the higher end oils like Redline and Amsoil retain their rated viscosity better over time. If you already shorten your intervals, it probably doesn't matter much.

    Doing my part! 😂

    I may be one of the filthy unwashed with an automatic, but I still have to concentrate with reverse. Even on the auto it's a forward motion unlike about every other auto since black and white TV days. It's probably for safety reasons but it kind of backfires when the expectations of 99.9% of...

    Cop told

    You say that, but my rear end was breaking loose with anything but quarter throttle during the rain in VA while turning. If you had to make any sudden maneuvers, you're going to be relying on the computer to keep you out of the ditch. It's a great car, but it can't defy the laws of physics.

    What do you do for a living?

    So as another old Army guy I read that as E-7: no starfish, E-8: one starfish, and E-9: two starfish. Don't get me started on how to decode the random morse code on naval officer uniforms. 😅

    2026 allocation

    You can setup your options on the Cadillac website and share that build code with your salesperson. That eliminates the need to physically go in and sit with them. Allocations are distributed to dealers on Thursday every week and they have maybe 48 hours to turn that allocation into an order...

    CT5-V 2025 CT5 Blackwings - have your dealer check oil plug on the front of the engine (Service Bulletin attached)

    If your loan is with GM, you can plow those points directly into the loan balance if you don't want to use them on overpriced items from GM.

    2026 allocation

    Get a printout or PDF from GM workbench showing your order as status 1100 (order entered into the system by the sales manager) and then 2000 (order accepted by GM - allocation used). It'll look something like this: Then the goat rodeo begins. Here's all the other status codes as your order...

    Low-Profile Ramps - Race Ramps Alternative

    Quick follow up: these ramps work on a 4BW with CF1 although they do slide a little bit when you first roll on. I assume the Race Ramps would be planted. At less than half the cost of Race Ramps they're a steal.

    5th gen V?

    This 100%. We don't have the substation or power delivery infrastructure to keep up with current demands. Adding 1+ EV to every household is going to create rolling blackouts across the country unless folks are OK with a 6-8 hour slow charge.

    CT4-V Brake ducts install

    They should be very similar to the Camaro. The recommendation is not to run them on the street because along with tons of air they also direct road debris onto the rotors and part of the install is removing the rotor guard leaving it defenseless.

    Help! Apex wheels clicking noise

    Remember the manual says 140 ft*lb of torque. It seems like a crazy amount but that's the spec. When I checked my lug nuts after the first couple drives there were a few that had loosened up a bunch. I'm not sure that would make a clicking sound but it's something to check.
