Expert Answers about Chevrolet Corvette
- Troubleshooting Rattle Sound After Trailer Hitch Install on 2008 Chevy Corvette
- The only versions of the 2008 Chevy Corvette the Curt hitch part # C11380 won't fit are the models that have the dual exhaust mode where when you accelerate hard the mufflers get bypassed. I looked up the Z51 specs and that is not a standard feature of it so this SHOULD fit well unless you also have the dual exhaust mode setup.
Exhaust rattle on trailer hitches is normally fixed by bending the exhaust hangers so that the pipes are held further away from the hitch. Or you can go with a...

- For your 1965 Chevrolet Corvette with the 396 cubic inch engine I really like the Derale 26-3/8" Dual, High-Output Electric Radiator Fan w/ Aluminum Shroud part # D66836.
It has 4,000 CFM which will really help keep things cool but also comes with the temperature sensor to turn the fan on and off when it is needed rather than having to monitor it and turn it on and off with a switch. This could lead to issues if you forget to turn it on.
The controller also will adjust the speed of the...

- Yes, since the quad tip exhaust you have on your 2000 Chevy Corvette is part of the stock exhaust system the Curt Hitch part # C11034 that you referenced would work for you.
For trailer wiring you would want the # 18252, for a ball mount # C45521, # A-82 for a 2 inch ball, # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball

view full answer... - How To Find Correct Braking Assemblies for 1996 Load Rite 21T Trailer
- The easiest way to find the correct replacement braking assemblies for a trailer will be by using the axle capacity which is typically printed onto a tag in the center of the beam. If one is not present you can measure the inside of the drum and count the mounting flange bolts. You'll also need to determine if you have electric or hydraulic and whether they are drum or disc.
I have attached our entire trailer brake assembly selection below for you to choose from once you get the above...

- I recommend the Optronics LED trailer light kit # TL16RK. The kit includes 2 LED tail lights, 2 amber side marker and clearance lights, license plate bracket, wiring harness and stainless steel mounting hardware.
I also recommend getting a deluxe wiring installation kit # HM51020 because it includes all the necessary essentials for rewiring a trailer.

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11705 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 1993 Chevrolet Corvette 40th Anniversary Model. I confirmed this with my contact at Curt. This Class I hitch will not require any cutting or fabricating but you will need to use a drill to enlarge some holes on the vehicle's frame. I have attached the complete installation details that you can use for reference.
When looking at the installation instructions, you will follow the steps listed under...

- For the Wesbar 7-way with coiled harness # WG54006-43 the coil length is 8 -1/2 inches. It's hard to say exactly how much force in lbs is used to stretch out the harness but it's not too difficult. We have the wiring color code pretty prominently displayed in the product description. We don't have a different version of this that uses the other wiring color code but as long as you follow the wiring colors by function it will work just as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2003 Chevy Corvette Towing a Harley Davidson on a Trailer Weighing 900 lbs Total
- The Curt trailer hitch # C11034 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 2500 pounds and tongue weight capacity of 250 pounds. The weight of the trailer plus the bike would be 900 pounds so you are well under the capacity of the hitch. However, you have to also consider the towing capacities of the vehicle.
A Corvette is not typically a vehicle used for towing so capacity information or anything related to towing may not even be in the owners manual but you will want to check there first...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 2002 Chevy Corvette for Ground Clearance
- For your 2002 Chevy Corvette the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # C11034 is the only confirmed fit. For your bike rack with ground clearance, I recommend the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 or the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ. Both bike racks have a shank that will have a rise for greater ground clearance and the ability to tilt or fold as well. These wheel holders hold the bikes higher due to the tray versus the hoops for the wheels to sit in.

This features a pulse maintenance and small battery mode so that it can be applied in a variety of applications. The pulse maintenance lets you keep the charger installed on the battery and prevents your battery from getting charged too much.
It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, can be used during the winter, and has a safe design that prevents...

- For a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 I have the MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System, part # MF15886. This is an axle-back system that will install from the axle back to the tailpipe. The polished stainless steel quad tips ( dual tips on each side) are 4 inch diameter. The diameter on the mandrel bent tubes is 2-1/2 inches that connect the system to your exhaust system. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the axle-back system.
There is also a cat-back systems...

- You will want to get a spare tire that has the same size and weight capacity as your current tires do. If your spare was rated for a lower weight capacity and you had a blowout while under a full load, your spare tire might not be able to handle the weight.
I looked up your Venture Boat Trailer model and it looks like your tire size for your VATB-7225 is ST225/75D15 with a Load Range of D. From what I gather it looks like your wheel has a 6 lug pattern. A great spare tire would be the...

- Thank you for providing the photo of your 1990 Corvette Convertible with trunk luggage rack that you will take on your Blue Ridge cruise this summer.
The cargo bag you referenced, Rightline Car Top Duffel Bag with Mounting Straps # RL100D90, is an excellent choice given the limited (52 x 18-inch) luggage rack space you have available for it while still retaining clearance to access your convertible top. This 4.3 cubic-foot bag is actually your best option based on its size (36L x 16W x...

- The best solution for transporting your dog kennel on your 2006 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is to install a trailer hitch on the back of the car and then use a hitch-mount carrier. There is a hitch offered for your Vette (as long as it does NOT have the Dual Mode exhaust) and that is part # C11380 from Curt. The hitch bolts on using included hardware and requires just a bit of drilling. The linked install video and article will help you through the installation process.

- The SuperChips Flashpaq F5 part # SU5845 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Chevy Corvette base model. It will give you a noticeable boost in horsepower and help increase fuel mileage too. It does this by optimizing the ignition timing and air-to-fuel ratio which basically makes the engine run more efficiently. This is how the additional power and fuel mileage is accomplished.

- I'd go with a mirror style camera as that will give you the view you want without having to mount a monitor on the interior. So the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System # RVS-778718N would be what I would go with. The display is 4.3 inches in size and has adjustable gridlines as well.
view full answer... - Loud Racing Muffler Recommendation for a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette
- The straight-through style mufflers like the MagnaFlow Stainless Steel, Straight-Through Universal Muffler - Race Series, # MF14161, that you referenced are the loudest mufflers that we carry. The race series mufflers are universal fit applications, so you will want to make sure the inlet and outlet size on the muffler is compatible with your exhaust system.
If you still have the stock 2-1/2 inch exhaust pipes on your 1977 Chevrolet Corvette, then I would recommend the MagnaFlow Straight-Through...
view full answer... - Does Hitch for 2006 Chevy Corvette Require Stabilizer Strap
- Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack on their lighter duty hitches like the part # C11380 which is a fit for your 2006 Chevy Corvette. The reason for the strap is basically to help reduce vertical shock from bumps being transferred to the hitch and frame.
I wish there was a different hitch available for your vehicle that did not require this strap.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has...
