Eric_who Did you ever find a resolution to the issue with the Aldans? I'm having the same problem on my 2011. Driving over expansion gaps in bridges is a nerve-wracking experience.

Differential vent replacement

At my last track day, my 2011 base (M6) started blowing smoke. There's a ton of gunk on top of the trans / diff. Someone suggested that the differential vent might have failed.

Now, anytime I...

The switch isn't a terrible idea. I find it interesting that they're tapping the OBD-2 port for +12V but using the clutch for ground (in the '08+ instructions). Potential ground loop? Seems unlikely,...

LS3 crate motor - dipstick?

The saga of my engine continues.

If you missed our last episode: I discovered that my 2011 (base) has a motor manufactured in 2016. Among other things: when I bought the car, it had a Camaro...

Residue on surge tank cap

Anyone got any ideas on what this stuff is? Car runs fine. It's not really a sludge so much as... gunk, for lack of a better term.
A month or so ago, the engine got pretty hot (260ºF) when the fan...

I didn't just flash someone else's tune. I grabbed the stock GM tune, copied the differences over to mine, and updated the car. Obviously you don't "waste credits" in that process unless you...
