Due to many issues with column lock and endless debate, these 2 videos were taken at the Corvetteactioncenter Cruisefest in June.

For full description, you will need to watch both parts, as they all interrelate.

Hi there,

It is made by Solar and can be purchased from Mid America or other suppliers.

Here is the link at MAM if you want it,

Battery & Charging System Tester, 12 Volt - Mid America Motorworks tester

Most suppliers are at about $80- $90.

Allthebest, c4c5

Oh man, you were there? I didn't know you were there!

That rain had us all discombobulated! We'll definitely hook at at Carlisle! You should join us for dinner one night. The honor would be mine.

Hi guys/girls
Solar makes 2 different battery testers, SOLBA5 and SOLBA7. Not sure which one Mid America has. I found them on Amazon .com. The SOLBA7 for 58.80 with free shipping

Paul
I was at the seminar at Carlisle (August 2010) and was quite interested in your description of the column lock problem. I have a 2001 vette, you mentioned an AC Delco part number for this year. I did not have a pencil or paper with me (same mistake won’t happen next year) can you please provide the correct number. By the way I was going to come up and thank you after the seminar for all the tips and tricks over the years but you were mobbed.

Junkman, thanks for getting back!!
After I posted the ?? I watched the video at the beginning of the thread I found the correct battery that Paul recommended for the C5….786yr/7yr professional, RC 120. I currently use an Optima Red Top with a RC90. Looks like I may be upgrading in a while.
