a. Since I have steering wheel that "locks", all I have to do is turn on the car, remove fuse #23 and turn the car off? this will make my wheel free of lock? Then go ahead with the lmc5 install, right?
b. is this correct siquence for my car (since steering lock locks and unlocks)?
Step 1: Turn key to on, remove #23 fuse, turn key off. make sure wheel stay unlocked.
Step 2: disconnect negetive batt terminal.
Step 3: RE-install fuse #23.
Step 4: remove 3 harness from BCM. Put bcm aside.
Step 5: Since mine is 99 manual, remove the lock relay that sits right in front of BCM? (do I ever reconnect this post lmc5 install?)
Step 6: Do the 3 lmc5 wire install along with ground cable.
Step 7: Reinstall the BCM.
Step 8: Connect negative batt terminal. Start the car.
Is that it?
c. Does anyone have a picture or video or input on lmc5 brown wire mod? is it necessary?
d.
this video is latest and I can follow it?thanks

Before they came home from my houseboat today the little one stopped up the vaccuflush toilet. I just ordered $159.00 worth of parts to rebuild it. Four Duck bill valves and a new pump bellows. Probably just the duckbill valves, they were old and not closing, but ordered the bellows just to be safe. My other son is using the boat next weekend, and a good dad keeps everything in perfect working condition.

I was driving in my neighborhood going 20 maybe 30mph and all of a sudden heard boom then the ring of the bolt bouncing... checked around rear around briefly and didn't see where it came from... doubt I kicked it up as I wasn't going too fast...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I am the second owner. When the car was new, the original owner brought it to Doug Rippie Motorsports here in Minnesota to have them build a motor for it. If you have not heard of them, DRM is one of the most respected Corvette specialty shops in the US and does amazing work. In order to make sure it could always be brought back to stock he had the original engine pulled, put on a rolling engine stand, and then had them build a forged 383 stroker using an LT4 block. The original engine is still on the engine stand and comes with the car (it has approximately 1,000 miles on it). The engine in the car has their DRM480 package with roughly 480hp and 480lb/ft. It has 35,000 on it. The car is fitted with ceramic coated shorty headers and retains the original catalytic converters and then finished off with a Flowmaster cat back exhaust. It was built back when MN was still doing emissions testing so I believe it would pass testing in any state that requires it. I have reciepts showing most if not all the work done. DRM also installed a 3.73 rear end.
The car is absolutely phenomenal to drive and because it was built right has required only routine maintenance during the past 6 years I have owned it. I did have DRM go through it when I bought it. They remembered the car and said it looked to be very well kept. They found nothing in need of attention. I have kept up on all the fluid changes using Redline products when applicable. It has had Redline oil used in the engine since day one and is change yearly. The tires are Nitto 555's and have around 8,000 miles on them. The brake pads have been swapped to Carbotechs. I can't remember the part name offhand. They make the car stop amazing, but do sometimes squeak a little. I put a new battery in it this summer.
The cars exterior is in very good condition with just a couple cosmetic flaws. I would rate it an 8 to 8.5. The car is not a garage queen it has been driven and enjoyed. The interior is also very well kept. The seats are free of rips or even much wear at all. There are no stains or smells other than leather. I would rate it a 9. I will gladly go over any areas of imperfection over the phone with anyone who is interested.
I have truly enjoyed owning this car and will hate to see it go, but there are lots of cars out there I would like to try and not enough garage space or money to keep them. I probably forgot some things, but have gone on long enough. If you have any question let me know. Thanks!
A couple of the engine specs I remember. For more you would have to talk to DRM.
