Default C5 Technical Data

Does anyone know if GM (specifically Corvette) vehicle maintenance training materials are available to the public?

I would like to get materials like student training manuals they use train Corvette engineers, mechanics (factory and dealer) and/or assembly line folks.

It would be interesting for me to learn more about the C5's (and C6's for that matter) systems integration (i.e ABS & Active Handling), description and operation (i.e. electronics, powerplant, and drive train), troubleshooting, overhaul, and removal/replacement of components.

Although I haven't seen them, I would like to have more detailed information (i.e. engineering info, etc.) than is available in the 3 set Helm manuals that we can purchase.

I have the technical skills and ability needed to interpret complex engineering diagrams and schematics, as well as the mechanical aptitude for learning complex system theory and application.

I do not know if this type of information is even available to the public, or if GM would provide it to an owner if requested.

I would think the info you are looking for is proprietary. Wouldn't be available to the general public. :nonod: :steering:

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking the info I want would probably not be available to the public......but I wasn't sure.
