After 18 years of owning a C5, I thought I had pretty much heard it all, but I learned a few things from you. Thank you!

[@ednalawson7984]

I loved this video. I would love to see a video on leaks over the doors even with new weather strips.

[@theandre1215]

As someone who will get a C5 this year, this video is very useful and will be saved. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@williamtricarico6684]

Just another FYI about the C-5. From the time I got my 2000, I had always hated that there wasn't a way to open the passenger door in a "Gentlemanly" manner, due to GMs wisdom of eliminating the lockset from all passenger doors across their product line. Unfortunately the Corvette door was remolded to accommodate the smaller door handle, which isn't interchangeable with the Oldsmobile one anymore. '97, '98, and '99 are. 2000-2004 passenger handles are unique to Corvette no locksets and the ones with locksets won't fit without fiberglass work. I sourced an Artic White passenger door, complete for a few hundred dollars and it went on perfectly the color match was impeccable. But, most importantly the door lock/key mechanism worked perfectly. It was plug and play, no weird alarm issues. But, the secret of turn the key in the driver's door once to unlock driver, twice to unlock passenger, 3-times to pop hatch, now also work from my passenger door. The wiring harness from the "new" door plugged right in and worked with the car like it was born that way. Hopefully others will share my love of these cars and my pet peeves.

[@toddm.7746]

You just use the remote to unlock all doors to let a lady in. I eliminated my lock in my passenger door handle for a cleaner look, by buying a color matched door handle with no lock cylinder for my 98 C5.

[@williamtricarico6684]

@@toddm.7746 surely pushing a button that could fail for any number of reasons, especially the finicky nature of C-5 electrical systems, remember subcontractors were the lowest bidders prior to GM bankruptcy and it is evident in all their products from that era,, pales in comparison to actually reaching around a "date" and inserting a key in a slot, very suggestive. Besides, is chivalry dead! I am old school, wish my 2000 wasn't drive by wire. Best thing is that it is a rare Borg-Warner 6spd manual Arctic White Coupe.

Black lights? That's bananas! I think I mentioned this on one of your other videos!? On your DIC - if you press and hold number 4 (OPTIONS) and then press number 1 (FUEL) six times it put you into the mode where tapping 3 or 4 respectively scrolls up and down, and you can reset anything on the fly including traction control and abs or anything that's intermittent ¿`_

You are so right, whan you said, "Got a problem, look it up on youtube." . I've been using youtube to work on vehicles, computers, and household appliances. Besides the money I've saved, I just like learning new stuff and being self sufficient as possible.

[@djorlando57]

Great video, bud! I’ve had my C5 for about 12 years now and I learned a few new things! Never thought about checking the door system so it would think the door is closed, you reminded me I need to milk, my C5. I haven’t done it in a while, I had a big plastic bag. It was against my radiator, causing it to overheat this year, right now I have a loose right rear tire rod that make a noise and they won 800 for that, you didn’t mention the shock absorbers and the electronic shocks that run over $1000 apiece, I replace my front ones, now I gotta replace my rear ones, Better avoid speed bumps like the plague out here in Phoenix. Cheers!

[@georgewhite8546]

Mark, I totally enjoyed this video and now will go through all of your videos on YT. I've had my 2000 C5 for 18 years and have seen countless tips and repair clinics on line, and like you have saved piles of cash DIYing repairs. I checked out the USN flag in your garage so I know you are NAVY. Thank you for your service! I was never in the service but am a Naval History addict, and am on the US Naval Institute mailing list. Love the video on the window regulator and my poor ol 2000 is going to get a regulator hardware check and tighten as they are very FLOPPY! Also, you said my abs module is fixable in the 20 tips video. Are you sure of that because I had understood that the cut off was 2001 and newer. Regardless of this mystery, your videos are among the best I've seen on line, and you are obviously very bright, well informed and extremely articulate. Than you so much for your tips.

Mark, thank you for your great work. Always love your videos and the info you share. I learned a couple of new C5 points from this one!

[@johnreiling2956]

Black light was a new one to me! Good stuff! 97-99 had a keyhole on pass side, they did away with that in 2000. Those 99 frc’s trying to pose as a Z car forget to swap the door handle (yes, saw one at Carlisle) My opinion on the fuel system stuff-could be argued the 97-98 fuel system was the better system as the fuel regulator is mounted at the fuel rail vs back at the filter. Few benefits here- $$$ - 97-98 fuel filter is ~$10 whereas the 99-early 03 is $50+. Fuel starvation with modified cars is a big issues with the 99+ cars- many have retrofitted back to 97-8 setup. I imagine cost and something with emissions played a role- 99+ would have cooler fuel as it’s circulated back at filter/tank vs at the rail. The whole 03+ was a test bed for the c6 fuel system. Lucky 03+ owners…. There is something to be said about upgrading the big 3 on these cars and cleaning up the grounds. Enjoy your content- nice to have a fresh set of eyes/ideas and able to apply newer developed items to the platform.

[@jrthemaverick2361]

Hi, I just have to thank you for passing along the “wealth of tribal knowledge” on the venerable C5. I’ve been looking for a fun ride and hadn’t really thought Vette. Long story short - bought a 2002 C-5 convertible from son-in-law about a month ago. I love this car. Your site has been among the very best sources of info, secrets, things to watch for, etc. I’m planning a number of upgrades - LEDs in and out, infotainment/rear backup camera upgrade, maybe seats. I’ve got some work to tighten up windows and a few tuning upgrades. Nothing crazy, just perk her up a bit. Thanks for giving so freely if your time and knowledge. It is incredibly helpful, especially for someone new to Vettes. Thx.

[@GregSr]

Excellent info! I learned a few things. BTW...The other important reason to keep the three udders clean is to prevent damaging the wiper motor. If the udders don't drain the water, the wiper motor gets flooded.

Great video, excellent to the point explanation , clear concise information and passion for these cars! Bravo!

[@Glide1992]

Great video. I learned quite a bit. Thanks. Really like the dash lighting info. Never would have guessed.

[@Luckyzach]

I’m not a 100% sure on this but I know in my 05 Silverado, the headlights and dash lights will dim whenever I roll my windows up or down. A lot of people counter act that by doing “The Big 3” upgrade. You are upgrading the size of wire for charge lead from alternator output stud to battery, the return path between the alternator and vehicle ground and the return path between the battery negative and the vehicle ground. Maybe that would be worth trying. My understanding is that the alternator is putting out enough power but the wires can’t handle the amount of power that is needed to run everything properly so it pulls power(dims headlights) from one thing to another. I did the upgrade on a 02 Trans Am I had and I highly recommend trying that to see if it fixes the dimming headlight issue.

The best cure for any incandescent headlights is to run relays for the high and low beams. Then the stock wiring provides the trigger voltage only and the light relays go straight to battery voltage. Many times you end up 1.5 to 2 volts higher at the bulb compared to stock.

Great video, instant sub for me. Am I picking up a little Ohio accent? That is one clean beast: (We’ll forget about the passenger floor😮). Black light, wow, cool. I’m still chasing the dreaded “Reduced engine power” gremlin, in my 01 convertible. I try a few things each year, say F-it, and just drive it- pull over and clear the codes as needed. Could be good for a month, or can die 3 times on the way to the corner store…🤯. Doesn’t stop, me from absolutely loving it. Does stop me from doing the pretty stuff, I have plans for….fixing the cheese grater seat foam and new leather. Oh well. Almost 99K and that LS1 fires right up and still pulls like a freight train…🍻

[@VetOnVettes]

Not too familiar with the reduced engine power gremlin (luckily). I could definitely do some homework on it and make a comprehensive video on it though. I'm from DC. I don't think we have accents (🤔🤷🏼‍♂️). Thanks for watching! I'll have a bunch of new Corvette content up once my garage reno is complete. 🤙👍

my 01 keeps having a charge system fault. has new alt, new starter, and new battery. after talking to some other C5 owners i think there is a wire somewhere with a break or partial break in it causing me issues, i was recommended a guy who use to before he retired work at a chevy dealer as the Corvette specific guy so im going to let him give it a spin and hope he can fix it. the only other option is to rewire the whole car.

Do you have any tips, for me, on how to install wheel lights on my c5?.....NO dust plates...Help.............

[@wildlesbians]

Great info. I am constantly learning. Hear are a few extra things I learned with my 2003 c5. Parts interchange. Fuel system: late production 2003 c5 has the FFS RPO code just like the 2004. That means the filter and some components are inside fuel tank. FFS also has a better crossover tube, older c5's just have a rubber hose. The c5 fuel tank for the driver side is discontinued, and passenger side is like $700.00. C5 and C6 tanks are interchangeable. (if you have the FFS rpo code.) The headlight motors are also same for the 1996 and newer firebirds. same with the headlight motor bumper stops. the a arms are the same as on cadilac cts. If you are into stock c5 radio, the same radio is sometimes found in various 2000's suvs, and silverado pick up trucks. scoring some spare radio knobs and parts at junk yard is cheap and fun. Also, if you write down the relay part numbers, you can find lots of spares at junkyard for free, off of other GM cars. (put in pocket.) GM tends to use the same relays in other cars. sure you can buy new ones for $15.00 to $20 each, but if you want a parts drawer with plenty of spares that can cost a lot. I am about to replace my bulbs in the instrument cluster, and there is a guy on you tube showing how to do that. Yes there are the 2 black lights, but there seems to be 4 backlight bulbs, and 15 to 20 other bulbs for the indicator lights. Check it out. I think the name is batee, and he sells or did sell lamp kits.

FWIW, there are a total of five udders. Three on the driver's side and two more on the passenger side. You can actually reach the driver's side udders from the top without removing the inner fender well lining, but it ain't easy. There's one udder that you can't see, but you can feel where it is and remove it. But, reinstalling these udders will be time consuming and you better be a contortionist, but it can be done. As to the passenger side. Those are much easier but will necessitate you removing the battery. Great video. Save the Wave👋
