Mr. Sam
I agree with you but to hold a seminar about C5 column lock issues and to say what he did---i see NO reason to doubt him on anything he says-Im sure he has talked with the engineers from GM on this issue--this is also why i believe from the 126,000 vettes recalled--many thousands never have had a CL issue because the battery was always charged up and clean-

The ONLY cars that came from the factory with the 2mph fuel shutoff enabled were those manual trans C5's built after Jan 1, 2004 and that was ONLY because the recall service was performed at the factory prior to shipping.
I really find it very difficult not to believe a master gm mechanic--especially on a 12 year old subject--would stand up and say something that was not correct-
