[QUOTE="nrtj, post: 257552, member: 7225"] lol, I realize this is an old thread from pre Covid time and nobody probably cares but I am a little insulted as to how quickly some of you are to blame dealerships and skilled licensed technicians... I happened to stumble upon this thread by accident browsing the CCF forums as I am a Corvette owner and enthusiast.
