Default Oh Yeah! CLB installed

Bought my CLB from Corvettes of Houston a month ago and just got around to installing it. Took less than 30 minutes, very easy install. I've never had a column lock issue, now I know I never will. CLB = $60, peace of mind = a $million!

It's a great feeling !

I did the same thing a few months back, bought the CLB from COH then got around to doing the install later.

I bought the CAGS eliminator at the same time and just got it installed last week. I don't have ramps or access to a lift but my vette guy was happy to do it when I brought the car in for an oil change. And I was more than happy to slip him a few bucks for doing it.

I installed the CLB from Corvettes of Houston last Friday and am pleased to say it was easy and the peace of mind is priceless. My oil sender needs replacing, I have a new one with a relocate harness as my next project.
