Agreed! Happy to see some sense too.

The Conclusion: The drive cycle is a real thing. And as it turns out, the sitting ("cool down") seems to be as important as the driving. I only ended up putting about 140 miles on it but I really believe the sitting overnight for eight hours helped everything reset. So yesterday, the O2 cleared, the ECM reset and I paid my $33 liar's fee (retest) and was on my way.

I'd forgotten how well the (JRE) tune made the car run after driving it for two days on stock settings. I avoided the AFM with the paddles. I was afraid those things hadn't worked in so long they were gonna break!

Resolved my “Service Stabilitrak” issue, maybe, probably, on 2011 SS Convertible. Started months ago, I believe soon after hitting a bad pothole in the road. Checked battery grounds, sensors, etc repeatedly with no success. But, I just realized that I had not checked one battery cable connection in the fuse box in the engine compartment - and lo and behold it was very loose. So pretty sure my issue was coming from that all along. Tightened it up and a little blue loctite, no more Service Stabilitrak alerts.

lol, yep. I am a Camaro owner, and will always be! I like hanging around to help everyone out that I can with whatever I can! It's fun, and meet some cool folks, most of the time. lol. Plus I like to chat about our Camaros, and see what others have done with their builds. And me, I'm just enjoying my "retired life" all that I can, everyday!! I get my Ruby out as much as I can for our "therapy cruises" when it isn't raining..
