Stock 02 Need Column Lock Bypass?
Has anyone had a stock 02 lock up? I keep reading that GM hasn't fixed this problem, but I wonder if they finally have. Is this a issue for ALL C5s? Should I be buying a bypass?

Yes, some '02's have reported lock-up on this forum. I had waited to put my C5 Solutions bypass in for 8 months 'til I started hearing about 02 lock-ups this summer. It was enough to spur me into action.
It's up to you if you want to install one based on your comfort level with the stock setup. :cheers:

C5 Solutions no longer sells the unit I bought. However, a bypass is available from Corvettes of Houston, a forum vendor. Look to the right at the list of vendors and click on their logo. Talk to Paul at COH to get a bypass. :cheers:

I've had a 2001 6 speed since February of '01 with 35k miles....no column lock problems. I think they may have actually fixed this problem! Unlike the fuel gauge issue...

I had mine lock twice in the same day. First time ever. Pulled key waited 10 sec. everything ok. Am I in for the BIG1? What does GM do to fix this? I'm still under warranty. :confused: [IMG][/IMG]
