Re: I will fix your 2000+ radio display bulbs

I emailed corvetteradios and asked if they could sell me the
red LED's and they asked for the radio model number.
Anybody know what the GM model numbers are for our radios?
Thanks

I pulled each fan relay one at a time, one fan shut off then the other shut-off.
After detremining the fan relays were fine I pulled the connector off the coolantant temp

Radiator fans are on high speed and its 32 degrees outside?

My 2000 SSEi radiator fans run constantly no matter what the temp is outside.
The defrost is off, in fact I shut the climate control off (pushed temp control buttons off) and the fans will not shut off. Could there be a defective sensor or relay. When I start the engine the fans come on at low speed ...

I didn't notice anything different with the whining noise and hard shift that would start after the transimision warmed up during the warmer weather. I took a chance ...

Re: Hard shifts, with a twist

I too had the whine noise with my 2000 SSEi with the very hard shifts after the tranny warmed up.
I installed the Thrasher shift kit (medium setting) and have driven a week now (drove in Chicago traffic yesterday) and the problem went away. I would highly recommend for anyone with the hard shift ...
