I posted my experience months ago including snow tires and wheels for the 5. It is in the main black wing forum somewhere

I don’t recall the name of the part offhand but I know it’s in some of my earlier posts. The service department spoke with Cadillac technical support on their end to get guidance on the plan.

since my post back in april, the surging while driving has not recurred. the repair done with the dealer seems to have improved the problem.

I put exhaust cut outs right in front of the muffler on the five black wing. I documented it in an earlier thread. With them wide open there’s no concern about hearing any fake engine noises. It sounds awesome but very loud. I use the caps on the cut outs with a washer to space them open just a...

I put dedicated snow tires with aftermarket wheels on my five black wing this past winter. I documented it in previous threads. I drove it in all but the worst days. It was OK. I used nokian tires. Very good but made in Russia.

It was gone next time I started the car and haven’t seen it since. Well see

Hello Today my car gave me a service steering warning. Then it said steering will fail soon or something like that. It drove fine though. Anyone seen this before? I have a ct5 bw.

I did very well last winter. Take a look at the post from last December.

did not know that. i bet that has something to do with it

I have to admit that pushing the v button does not always get an obvious response from the car computer display. Sometimes hard to tell if it is in v mode if the display is still cycling through start up. Maybe that one run I wasn’t in the correct mode? Maybe I was in snow mode. Who knows.

No pdr. I wish I could see what was happening. Next session the problem was gone but I wasn’t driving as hard and it is fine the whole drive back home. But for one session it kept pulling power over and over again. Weird.

Iron brakes. I did bed them on street 100% the car straightened me out when I tried to break the rear loose coming through a turn. In my track car, I do that often. My track car is a 65 mustang with no computer. In the ct5bw, the power shut down and the car straightened out. I don’t...

yes here are the part numbers sensors - GM 13538760 sensor nuts - GM 13581557

I too my Blacwing out to the track for the first time - initial thoughts: i set it to V mode with performance traction control to Race 1 - i do have some track experience and wanted to see if i could push the rear end around with the throttle. you can, although the computer still interferes to...

I would drive it and have fun. Won’t affect your experience. Don’t waste time having service people drive your car

i guess you're right. but the problem is sporadic enough that i dont have any confidence in a regular dealership to do anything useful about it

It did it again just yesterday. It’s usually third gear maybe fourth gear around 30 or 40 miles an hour with a slight uphill grade or even on level ground. This particular episode again sorted itself out without me doing anything different after just a couple of seconds. The engine is usually...

its been well over a month since my car had the service visit to replace the cam actuator. I thought i would give some follow up. Mostly things are better and normal. the engine still surges a bit at times, but there has only been one episode when it was really bad - i was driving at about 40...

the wheel sizes/offsets are somewhere in the general discussion post about winter wheels/tires. it is a long post, but i dont recall the offsets right now. in that posting, you can also find a relatively inexpensive 19" wheel that I am using, that clears the calipers well. with that Drag...

I bet this is normal. my 5black wing has a tough time shifting into second when cold. I think it’s gotten better as I’ve put some miles on the car. I would just shift carefully especially when cold and I would personally not to take it to the dealer. But perhaps there’s more to it in your car...
