Gordon Killebrew's new site
Gordon and the folks from Vette2Vette have started a new business that is sure to become quite popular.
www.corvettetroubleshooting.com
I visited their display at Carlisle and was impressed with their idea and professionalism.
Basically, you pay a modest yearly fee for full access to their trouble shooting site which allows you to find out what is wrong with your Corvette (C2 through C6) and fix it.
I always thought of Gordon as a C4 guru but he was there at the factory throughout the C2/3/4 years and some of the development of the C5. He also has an "in" at the factory and can help for years to come.
Visit their site and see what you think. I signed up at the show and I don't even own a Corvette at the present time. When I do get back into ownership this will save me tons of time and money. Knowledge is power!
Edit: The site is still under construction but you can sign up to have them notify you when it becomes live. They used Carlisle to launch their new business.

Gordon is the man.
I am tempted to write something trite like "Gordon has forgotten more about Vettes than most people know", but I doubt Gordon has forgotten anything!

Right on but there is also some BAD info out there that is free too and it is sometimes difficult to drag out what you need from the piles of info out there.

You can have the correct info and try to help and half the time the idiots will outnumber you drag you down to their level and beat you over the head with their stupidity Like the ones who know everything about an 84 who've never owned one, the OPTI-SPARK Paranoid and the legendary 500rwhp LT4
Should we discuss T-stats ? How about the LT5 cars you can't buy parts for or work on lol

Do you recall what the modest yearly fee was?

I went to his C-4 seminar on Friday at Carlisle. He answered every question in detail and his knowledge was amazing. He had no notes, and even with the electrical questions, he could tell you the wire connections , colors , etc.. I am glad he started his new website, and wish him the best of luck. He is a treasure of knowledge that will be missed when he leaves us ..Ted

I paid $70 something which included a $20 discount for signing up at the show.
I remember a few years back when I did the valve seals on the 87 I owned over the winter. When I buttoned her up and tried to start her up in the spring it was a total no go. I tried to find info here and on the Action Center and there was so much stuff to wade through that I just went and bought a service manual. The logic tree to test for a no start was long and time consuming. I finally tracked it down to a bad module behind the dash (VATS control unit?) which I was able to buy used from Vette2Vette. It would have saved me a ton of time and gotten the car on the road much sooner to have just asked Gordon.
One of the cool things you will be able to do on his site is a "test your knowledge" section. If I understand correctly you can even be part of his crew if you test high enough! I'll bet there are several here (such as Agent 86 and CFI-EFI) that would qualify from the get go.

My husband and I saw them this weekend at the NCM. We can't wait until the site goes live!!! It sounds like every thing that Gordon knows about Corvettes will be covered on his website. We can't believe there is computer that can hold that much information!! ;-)
