I noticed that the climate control is more consistent after the flash. Before I had the Dim Cluster fix done, I had to consistently keep adjusting the thermostat between 75 and 81 degrees F to get a comfortable setting. Now, I'm leaving it set at around 68 degrees Fahrenheit like my other rides.

Your car may already have been patched. Just observe it closely and if you notice that the IC goes too dim at dusk, take it to the dealer and have it flashed.

I have been following your story for a while. I hope you get it worked out. Rattles can be the hardest problem to solve. I had one rattle that I was able to fix...for now (knock on wood). I do have some rattles from the dash when I hit a big enough bump, but I expect that. Persistent rattles would drive me insane as well. The one rattle I had made me not want to drive the car. Good luck and keep us posted.

In the owners manual it shows 38 or the max cold tire pressure. Which ever is lowest. (Only for track use)

My C5 and C6 had door stickers saying 30 psi cold. You can go up somewhat from that.

I left out the most important part. I was referring to the oil pressure readings at highway speeds. My mistake for not being clearer.

Are you talking about Oil Pressure?
When you say pounds, are you asking about Oil pressure PSI? If so, I will check, because I noticed my Oil pressure at idle and when the engine is at full running temperature is about 20 PSI! I use the run around 35 -40 at idle in all the small Blocks I built!
Will check running pressure for you and post it for you!
You might want to check the oil pressure at idle when the engine is at full temperature.
