Thanks, I'll give them a call in the morning.

East Islip. I'd be willing to head your way if the reco is high enough.

I've been leaning toward having the remote start installed, and this will push me over the edge. Does anyone have a Long Island shop that they'd recommend? Or am I better off tackling this myself?

This guy used "ricer math" for calculating the price. $4k in spare parts?? No pics?? C'mon...

Cool. If you do go, I'll be in vendor spots G40 - G50. Hope to see you there!

It's that time of year again, is anybody else going? http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/events/corvettes/

You're correct, it is the 6.5l Hi-Cap (opt K47) that you're looking for. How much are you forced to spend?

IIRC, it was $54.00. It was the exact same part/manufacturer as the original. I guess I can look forward to replacing it again in another 60k miles. :mad2:

I got it resolved. It was the blower resistor...NAPA part # BR 474. Turns out it's a pretty common failure. Remove the black cover (at your toes as a passenger) to access the resistor. The resistor has a 1 red and 1 black 10 ga wire connector. I was lucky, 'cause I only needed to replace...

I had to 'temporarily allow pop-ups'. After that, the vids worked.

Interesting. I'll have to stop by the shop next week to take a tour. I never knew they existed!! Nice to utilize the local talent when you can. Good luck!

Care to elaborate on the locale of these shops? PM if it's sensitive info, please.

That's a good question for an instructor to answer...'cause I don't remember. The old adage "better safe than sorry" dosen't always apply; I got points deducted for stopping at a flashing yellow instead of proceeding w/ caution (I freaked out a little). Slowing for a school zone sounds like a...

Or if you're taking your road test.:smile5: I was told by instructors to stop at RRs, even though I was only testing for Class B w/ air endorsement. As far as "standard height", If it's unmarked, it's 14' or higher, IIRC. Still need to call out unmarked heights... School zones are simple...
