    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    My $.02 worth: I have about 3k mi on my 2023 CT5BW. This is the nicest car I have ever owned, or probably will ever own. I am not poor but it was definitely a stretch and a sacrifice. I had planned on keeping this car forever, I do not see myself having the spare change to buy another car of...

    Dealer finally fixed driver window noise. 11.5 hours of labor. 6 weeks in the shop. 120 road test miles.

    I figured yall would be interested in seeing the attached dealer service write up. Shout out to Tom Peacock cadillac for bird dogging this until it was 110% fixed. Another local dealer who I will not mention by name insisted they could never hear the noise, but the Tom Peacock guys owned up...

    Blown Motor

    Has there been any attempt to cross reference failures against other builder names? My builder was Jennifer Cline, now you've got me wondering if she built any that failed.

    Need a funnel that actually works to get additives into 5wing tank

    I like to add an occasional bottle of fuel system cleaner or Marvel Mystery Oil to the tank of my cars. But I have had more problems with adding things to my 5Wing tank than any other vehicle I've ever owned. Some of my funnels are too short. There must be some kind of secondary flap behind...

    My BlackWing has been relieved of its duties...

    I'm not familiar with Grundy, but you should check out Hagerty. They don't insist on depreciating. My fully loaded 5wing has been insured at $110k agreed value for 2.5 years.

    CT5-V Engine failure

    I understand you were only billed $75. But was there anything in the paperwork which showed what the total cost was that Cadillac ate, and which you would have been charged if the car were out of warranty? I'm nervous about this because my 5wing is a 5th car, purely a weekend toy. It's a 22...

    CT5-V Floor mats with red piping?

    I'd kill for that red center belt! If you find out a part number or where they got it, please do share.

    GM Service Manuals - is the Blackwing version the same as the general CT5 version?

    Looking to buy the set of repair manuals (like the one ebay example listed below) but I'm not confident this is the right one for my 5Wing. Do we 'Wing owners get a separate manual, or is it one and the same for all CT5s? https://www.ebay.com/itm/204590098074

    No cylinder deactivation on the 5Wing Manual transmission?

    Funny. The guys at the Cadillac Academy in Pahrump told me it definitely had deactivation when I went out there for the 3 days.

    No cylinder deactivation on the 5Wing Manual transmission?

    I was going to get this tuned out but heard a rumor that since I wisely selected the stick shift, I am already deactivation-less. Is there a way to confirm this is true? I've never noticed any cylinders deactivating but if GM was slick enough about it, I suppose it coulda happened and I...

    ISO CT5Wing Spare Tire Package

    100% agree. Please let me know if you come up with something post-wife. :D BTW I see you're in Katy. I'm not too far from you on the northside. Do you happen to know if we have a local 5Wing club?
