CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Welcome! Love the blue and the stripes!


Just to let you know, those aftermarket tail lights have been known to cause electrical gremlins. If you start to have problems like reverse light staying on or flickering, battery drain, etc., check those tail lights first.


What is all that industrial equipment and buildings where you are parked?

Good to know. Only gremlin I’ve found so far is the tach bouncing when the engine isn’t revving.

I work at an oil refinery 👍🏻

There is a fix for the tach bouncing. Check out the thread in the problem subforum about “hot start, slow crank.” Adding a beefier ground cable has been found to fix the tach bouncing.

Interesting. What do you do at the refinery?

I’ll definitely look into it. It only seems to happen when I’m slowing down and still in gear.

Currently I’m a process operator. Basically I am in charge of all the equipment that refines the crude oil into refined products. In my case ULSD.
