Air pressur sender
My Chev shop told me they could not install C5 tire pressure senders in my 02 Z because of the tire size dif they said the readings would not be accurate, I remember reading in the Forum the procedure for this mod can anyone point me in the right direction thanks.

That's just BS. I installed the LTPS in my 03 Z. The sensor's work just fine. PSI is PSI. I'm at work and can't find the link to the instructions, but here's a pic of my DIC showing PSI readings.
If no one posts the instructions by this evening I'll do so when I get home.

Here's the link on how to activate the sensors (after they are installed).
http://www.stopforce.com/RPO.html
I actually bought 5 sensors. I installed 4 and have a spare should I ever find my self in a jam with a flat and I don't want Coy of Bubba's wreker service to drang my car to some red neck joint on a Sat night that can't handle Z size tires/wheels. In that case I use the goop and get the car home. The sensor may be ruined and I'm out $50 but better that than to have to leave my car stranded from a Sat night to Monday morning while I locate a place that can handle Z tires/wheels.
I actually printed out the section on how to activate them and gave them to my service tech at my local Cheby dealer. They charged me $160 for 2 hours labor which included re-balancing all four tires/wheels.
He said the instructions were perfect and kept a copy for future use.

Instead of goop for a temp fix why not carry a tire plugging kit and a pair of pliers. I have a good quality kit that has T handles in all my cars along with a 12V compressor. Not as easy or clean as gooping ( you definitely need a ground cloth ) My kit includes screwdriver, pliers, gloves, plug kit. The end result is a semipermanent fix that you can run confidently at speed until you get it patched/replaced/whatever.
I've done this for years and never been stranded. Plugging takes a few minutes, but adding air takes forever.
