Default Clb

Gang,

Sorry to go over a much talked about point. I, like alot of others, recieved my recall for the Column lock problem in the mail . My questions are:

1. Do what GM wants and let dealer redo the PCM and fix lock plate?

2. Use this CLB I hear so much about ?? (and for this unimformed person) what is this CLB and where doe sone get it ??

Thanks again. I have 2003 Z with about 4500 miles on her. Been great car so far with no issues at all. (Knock on wood)

Chuck

From another forum about the Column Lock Bypass Mod:

There are over 5000 documented cases of CLB causing problems in cars from 97-04 model cars. Export cars, and domestic cars.
If this was such a great fix, then this would not be the case.
While the column lock was never a great part of Corvette, the new recall repairs the condition.
You should see the look on an owners face when you try to tell them that the CLB caused the shorted circuit within the BCM and that they would have to pay around $300 for another one. Not pretty.
