I ordered one of the green (HD) belts listed in the bulletin, but I'm not convinced that's the best option. At least for maximum belt grip and performance, I think a Gates RPM belt in stock length is a better choice. I've used the green HD belts in the past, but this was before the RPM line was introduced. And unless you're experiencing this exact noise (which shouldn't affect ZL1s without AFM), I'd stick with a stock length belt. Just my 2 cents after building a bunch of blower cars and fighting belt slip.
For anyone interested, the Gates RPM belt in our stock size is: K080828RPM. The stock belt is GM part number 12668317. |

Travis - Maybe we should have Tara check in on the launch issue.

Hi Tara,
Thanks for sending us the requested information. We've opened up case 8-xxxxxxxxx documenting this concern in our system. We'll be forwarding this case to a a specialist that'll be in contact with you within the next 48 business hours. Also, our internal resources will be reaching out to your dealership to assist them with the diagnosis. Please let us know when you've been contacted by the specialist, and we'll provide you with another update after we touch base with the Customer Experience Manager at Aztec Chevrolet. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to let us know. We appreciate your patience with this matter. Sincerely, Eddie A. Chevrolet Customer Care Hmmm, does 48 business hours = 6 business days? They might call me by October 23rd? I'm confused. I hope they call... Tara

Update!
A Chevrolet CSR contacted me yesterday and we together contacted my dealer's service department. We've tentatively set up an appointment for Thursday afternoon pending the availability of a loaner vehicle. The service fellow was able to find GM documentation of the ride height issue and the front sway bar end link nuts. A while later he called me back and said that he found an issue that GM engineers are investigating concerning excessive supercharger whine. He said it wasn't finalized into a TSB, but Chevrolet says it's safe to drive until they arrive at a fix. He also confirmed that he had ordered the springs and sway bar nuts and hopes that they arrive by Thursday. I see that there's another thread recently describing a RPM-related whine from the engine compartment. I wonder if it's the same thing I'm hearing...? So far, so good! Tara

For the record, there is no such thing as excessive supercharger whine.
