I've rebranded my YouTube channel to @CorvetteFun, and I'll continue to include content about all Corvettes, but this website is mostly focused on the ERay, so I'd be remiss to not include this VIDEO here. Since there are still a lot of questions about the lithium-ion starter battery in the ERay (not to mention the lithium-ion battery that drives the front wheels), I'll use this page to report the data that I've been recording and will continue to keep track of over the long-term.

I set out to install Grill Guards on the front of my Corvette ERay to protect the front radiators, and in the process, I learned some related — and very interesting — things I want to describe and show you with photos. I discovered a "new" black box and saw that an Undertray "Under Body" Panel was installed incorrectly.

It's normal for lug nuts to get loose over time, so it's a good idea to check them — especially any time a wheel has been off the car, like when a car is brand new. Here, I provide an instructional video that shows the procedure, and below that there's much more information for people who don't have a torque wrench and/or haven't done this before.

I remember installing rock/splash guards on my 2021 Stingray, and not only did the rock guards I purchased (from a different company) come with metal clips already on them, but the OEM clips got bent when I uninstalled the factory parts, so I was not looking forward to reusing the OEM clips, but that's what they said I needed to do. The small, ineffective rock guards that come with the C8 Corvette don't provide much protection for the side of the car because they don't stick out from the wheel well at all, so I wanted to improve on that. Thankfully, I figured out a method for removing the OEM clips without damaging them.

Directions to remove this cover aren't in the Owner's Manual, but it needs to come off to access the battery that starts the car. GM considers that a dealer maintenance item; however, it's not unusual for people to replace their own 12-volt car batteries. On my ERay, I also saw something my Stingray didn't have! People have accidentally broken the plastic tabs on this cover, so this post describes how to easily remove it without breaking anything... and to show you the new discovery!

The High Voltage Battery System Coolant Reservoir cap on my just-delivered 2024 Corvette ERay was unscrewed. All ERay buyers should check this on their Corvettes because I've learned that mine wasn't the only one delivered this way — but it gets even better than that. Once I tightened it, I couldn't get it back off, and neither could the Corvette tech at the dealership! This post provides lots more detail, the easy solution to getting the cap off (once you know the trick), and clear photos of what's inside there!
