Thanks again Bill
You are by no means in this boat alone. I spent some time talking to Bill over the phone, while he was helping me diagnose an HVAC problem. He sure gives his time freely, and often to everybody who needs help.
I think the C5 is Bills personal form of crack, and he's just getting his "fix" with these fixes.
Thanks again Bill! Merry Christmas!

Now send your dollars - I get the new vette, he gets the hand-me-downs, as usual!

It doesn't get much better than Bill solving a no start problem, that a Chevy dealer's service team could not, from his desk nearly 15,000 miles away in the Philippines!

Bill, you are a true asset to this Forum!
Thanks for all you do.

I wish you could have taken a picture of the look on that guys face!

It could have been in one of those PRICELESS commercials.

Bill...
I've not had occasion to call on you for troubleshooting advice, but its good to know you are within shouting distance here in CT if trouble strikes. I pay attention to your advice, and as many have said, you are an asset to the forum and those of us less mechanically inclined.

I have to agree, although I have not had direct contact with Bill, his advise that he gives others has helped me.

Thanks from north of the 49th !!

Have to totally agree Bill helped me when all the gauges , warning lites and DIC went berserk - he said just need to shake up the wires inside the accordian going into the driver side door and it worked like a charm

Thanks again Bill

You ROCK !!!!
