Soofrsh Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hello from the west side! New Corvette owner! Picked up one of my dream cars this September, a C5 Vette. I was able to get the color I wanted, interior, and transmission from a family friend. No big mods as of yet only a vararam intake, lowered on stocks bolts (have aftermarket read bolts laying around), and from what I believe is a Borla stinger exhaust. Future plans are LT's and a tune as my cats have seen better days. So any recommendations for LT's with an xpipe are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Welcome to ACE! Take a look in the modifications and builds section and you will find discussions of headers, mufflers, cat delete (or not),etc. I'm sure others will chime in here with input. For a tune, I highly recommend NicD. He worked magic on my C5 when I had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidNiteFury01 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think I saw you near Waddell yesterday, good looking ride. White is cool color on those C5's. Plenty of opinions abound on mods in this forum, great advice too. Check the event sections for upcoming activities. Welcome to ACE from Goodyear!

Soofrsh Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Soon after buying the Vette, I had Xtreme Motorsports install corvettes of Houston BCM mod to eliminate the "pull key wait 10 seconds message" but am still getting this message. I've scoured various Vette forums to try to figure out a fix and haven't found an answer yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have an automatic but spent enough time on the forums reading all the rants. First if the dealer did the recall K harness fix the CLB won't work without that being removedThe larger issue that exists for either fix is that you must keep your battery and connections in top notch condition. Charge the battery, take it and get a load test done, clean your terminal connections and make sure they are tight. Corvettes are super finicky about clean power source.

Ted Y Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 How old is your battery and what kind is it? C5's are very voltage sensitive. Mine starts doing that when my battery gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery is newer ( Super Start Platinum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Have you checked the resting voltage? Cleaned terminal connections? Checked the engine bay grounds for corrosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Have you checked the resting voltage? Cleaned terminal connections? Checked the engine bay grounds for corrosion?and charge it, youll be amazed how discharged the battery actually is.

Soofrsh Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Have you checked the resting voltage? Cleaned terminal connections? Checked the engine bay grounds for corrosion?12.3 resting voltage, removed battery and cleaned up connections just now. Hooked it back up and no message. We'll see what happens tomorrow if it changes. I was in the engine bay a couple weeks ago and didn't see any corrosions throughout the bay.

Grape Ape Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If you still get the message try installing the LMC5 fix. I've heard great things about that one. I have the CLB (which is the one you have it sounds like) in mine and have not had any isses with it for 7 years now. Welcome from the far easty side.
