And, I'm wrong again...you deleted your post in my thread about the SKF bearing where you lectured me about reading the manual and I would see that they are different.

Tell ya what...I'm trying to get out the door to go to Reno, my wife's yelling at me...not really...if you have not found it by the time I get back in a couple of days I'll find it for you.
Google something like "GM technician discussing battery reserve capacity for c5 corvette" that will probably get you close. Or maybe throw in CLB, but that was not the topic, the topic was the importance of using the correct battery.

Nevermind... I'm pretty sure I've seen it before. I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight behind what a "Real GM Technician" has to say on this issue as GM tried multiple times to fix this problem in the form of multiple different recalls and failed miserably.
Also, this is still purely theoretical without one single substantiated case of a BCM on a C5 actually being damaged by a CLB. If you don't want to run a CLB in your car because you think it'll hurt something that's your right. You bought it. I'll keep running it in mine.

Yes you are correct. One dealer qouted $4,000 out the door to replace the valve and computer. That price just didn't make any sense, Taking to another today that deals with corvette club members at a much better price, plus a warranty. I am not good with working on the engine, so will have to give them a try. I'll get back with results.
Depending on the results of the tests the procedure tells the mechanic to do the fix may be to replace or have ABSFixer repair the EBCM, replace the BPMV or replace both. If the pump is the reason the EBCM has failed you can get the EBCM repaired and that will likely sort of fix the problem for a short while but it will come back as the pump gets worse. The BPMV price from a forum vendor is probably around $800 to $900.

Thanks guys, I had the unit replaced at the dealer. Seems to be working great. However I know which dealer "Not To Use" again for any service here in Middelburg FL. Very poor service and incompetent tech.
Just to remove the sticker on the windshiled with the oil change info, he cut the leather and never even said sorry. I am yet to get any reply from that dealer. So never again will they get a dime from me. Oh, the price was $1,420. What a difference with the other of $4,000.
