As I understand it, the MAM version incorporates a resistor in it so that an error code isn't thrown(at least mine did), whereas the cheapie does not.
Not that it makes much difference....

I read the link on disconnecting the 1 to 4 skip(https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=175&TopicID=2)
My question is that it says it will throw a code if you run a diagnostic check, but does this mean the check engine light will be on or only shows up if you connect to dealer computer. Anyone done this?

I just ordered the one from zipcorvette.com for like 16 bucks. If you have OBDI, theres no codes to worry about, only OBDII (1996), however the "One to Four" light will still come on in the left of the dash, no big deal.

i would say the difference is that with mid america, you know what you are getting. with the ebay, you'll get some crap.
ebay no longer is what is once was. it is all rip off garbage. a good idea (ebay) has now gone to trash by con artists and cheap products.
that is my opinion. i would buy the mid america.

I left it half plugged in so that the connector stays clean, the rubber gromet on the male side of the plug keeps it from falling completely out...
