    I am not sure I love my 5BW

    I have loved the 6 speed trans in my 5 BW (reminds me a lot of my C6Z06) after coming out of my '19 Z06 with the 7 speed! It utterly pissed me off every time I had to mess with putting it in/out of the 7th gear and was the sole reason I didn't mind letting it go to get the BW! If the manual BW...

    Ct5v Battery charger/maintaner

    I mounted a CTEK harness directly to the battery in the trunk. In order to get to the terminals, you do have to pull the side panel off, which is a bit of a pain but easily doable with a little time. The wire isn't pinched by the trunk closing since the seal is very soft and pliable. I...

    Dogs/Pets

    Losing them is always ridiculously sad. I still think of our yellow lab (Chance) daily, who passed away over 4 years ago and if I think about him too long, I still tear up. 🥲 That said, if we didn’t have our 2 pups and our cat ripping about the house every day, it would be way too quiet and...

    What are you all paying for insurance?

    I've been with USAA for 34 years, and used to support them 100% without exception, but with their policy changes during recent years they've quickly become just like every other insurance company - all about the bottom line! After a recent policy increase of 25% (they said it was due to state...

    CT4-V Question on dents due to storm damage

    I've seen them do amazing things. Definitely have a PDR guy look it over. As long as there is no hard crease or paint crack, my bet is they can fix it.

    Hardwired Radar Detector

    This thread reminds me of some of the "police presence" when driving through the Yukon Territory over the years while living in Alaska! 😅 We always had to stop for a cheesy photo op! The"cruiser" was getting pretty ratty in its later years! I bet it's still there! I run my radar set and Waze...

    Wait is over, but had some issues

    "Man Look"!! :ROFLMAO: That's funny! Give your engine bay a really good/slow look over...mine had several things that were loose, not hooked up or open. Glad the issue is resolved. Congrats and have fun!

    Video Recorder

    Mine was giving me the same message. I had to try several cards and keep formatting with my computer, then trying them. Eventually one worked.

    This thread helped me get mine working: https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/psa-regarding-ct5-blackwing-sd-cards-for-pdr-and-surround-vision-recorder.1920/ My issue was getting the format right.

    ct5v picture of the inside of the trunk

    Did mine the same...even use a similar cloth to avoid paint scratches! ;) Only difference is I use CTEK maintainers.

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

    From the looks of that work, I'm guessing the tech was possibly an ex wife with a serious vendetta to settle??? Have you checked to see if the brake lines were cut?? :r

    For the sake of resale value I hope this is a mistake

    My understanding is the trans tunnel was going to be too wide for the 7 speed to fit and still have the seat room they wanted.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I normally wouldn’t add anything to a new car, but I think the little BW badge was justified.

    CT4 4BW Test drive impressions

    Congrats on the new BW! On the cold shift, I just do a 1-3 shift when I first leave my driveway and then I don't have to go back to first for a couple of miles - by then, mine is warm enough for a decent 1-2 shift. My C6 Z06 and C7 Z06 were both similar too, but the BW has been the best of the...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    If they don't cooperate on the warranty request, I'd get an attorney involved and put the dealership on notice this isn't going away quietly...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I’ve found the 2 piece Race Ramps to be super handy for basic maintenance when I don’t need to pull wheels off. The rear of the ramp is removable to give great access too. They’re a very safe alternative. That’s said, I installed the lifting points on my 5 and use 2 floor jacks when I need to...
