Some good news on the recall.
To all those who are waiting for recalls to get cleared up, I urge patience and understanding. Some of us had a nearly three year wait (two for me), and it's very very true what they say: "it's worth the wait". It's true I don't care much for dealer service departments (I always get the... -
Some good news on the recall.
If GM does come up with a complicated headlight "fix" for 2023 and earlier, are the dealers required to implement said "fix" even if the owner does not want it? A software fix is ok, but no one is taking my steering column apart! -
DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement
There are some scan tools that do tranmission flush procedures like the Launch x431. My XTool scanner does not for now but may do so in the future. I will get my free DCT service this fall at around 7k kms. We will see how that goes before I decide what happens at 12k. -
DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement
From a financial point of view the maintenance plan probably makes a lot of sense depending on the total cost. It's not for me though. I don't trust dealer service departments in our city (sorry kid, go practice on someone else's C8) so I go to them as little as possible. I do most of my own... -
Deferring DCT Filter At 1st Service
Just do the oil life reset procedure, as I'm sure you don't (like me) pay attention to the percentage anyway. Lots of YouTube vids on how to reset it. I did it once when I changed my oil last fall, it's pretty easy to do. -
Deferring DCT Filter At 1st Service
I believe the warranty and service offers follow the car VIN. You should be able to get the DCT service done at no extra charge this fall before you store it for the winter. -
Rotate the Tires: Yes or No
I'm debating if I should rotate the tires this fall before I put away my 2023. I've always rotated tires on my other cars, but only front to rear and vice versa. I don't think I will rotate the tires on the C8. Here is my logic: 1) I believe tires take a "set" in their initial direction of... -
2024 Corvette Build out
I'm curious about how the GM dealer network operates. We have people on wait lists, and a few dealers with unsold cars. Can GM dealers get cars from other dealers? Do they have to buy them first? -
2024 Corvette Build out
2025 is supposed to bring major interior changes if the rumour mill can be believed. Three months seems too short a window to start producing them without any leaked photos or mock-ups out by now. Maybe there aren't many changes for 2025. -
Some good news on the recall.
Since you are now the de facto owner of said ZR2, I would be curious what the difference is between your Colorado and any other DRL recall affected GM vehicle brought to the dealership for servicing. Should the dealer now refuse to release those vehicles as well? Are they not liable to get... -
DCTF FFL-4 19418016
My three year mark will come in the middle of the 24-25 winter. I sure as heck won't be doing it early, so 3.416 years it will have to be. I should have around 11k to 12k on the clock by then. -
Some good news on the recall.
Good news. I wonder if we will see on OTA update or will the fix need a dealer visit. -
Deferring DCT Filter At 1st Service
Let us know if you manage to get the DCT done free on the 2nd service. So many sources I have read that say the DCT can be claimed through GM only on service one. -
Daytime running light recall is holding up delivery of my corvette
So a person who bought a new C8 has to wait for delayed delivery, while anyone can buy used C8 with the extact same 'defect' and drive it home. Gotta love the logic. -
Deferring DCT Filter At 1st Service
I didn't bother with going to the dealer at the end of last year's driving season for my 2023. I Just did it myself, had about 3700 km on it. I will grudgingly use my first oil change/DCT service at the end of this year's season, as I don't trust the level of professionalism at any dealership...
