    Jacking up your Blackwing

    The Rennstands and another floor jack is 25% of the cost of a Quickjack. For me it came down to two things; the number of times I jack up my car every year, and lack of storage space for Quickjacks. Now if I was jacking up my car once a month I would work out the storage space issue. As with...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    The stealth lift pads. Two floor jacks because the floor jack with the Rennstand top part won’t fit under the car unless the same side front or back is raised a little. I have not tried doing one corner at a time. I do either the front or back together working each side about 3 times...

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I use the Rennstands on my 5BW for 3 years. I use the Castle Pad (18M-P05) with the ZL1 Addons. I put a hard rubber piece inside the castle pad cavity.

    Access to GM Parts Database

    Go to the dealer that the car was purchased from and attempt to negotiate price. That worked for me. It did take me 1 year to get the splitter for a 5BW in 2023, but my price was locked in. Keep in mind that many of the online shops add $300 for shipping and dealer does not.

    Gear grinding

    mine works fine, just need to yank that stick. I do often go 2nd to 4th, skipping 3rd.

    Gear grinding

    Does it actually grind? Never had that happen even at 20F parked outside overnight. Sure it can take some force, but it’s a big boy car. I’ve had 2nd be difficult after a long highway run when 115F out and transmission got very hot.
