We earlier saw the list of two avenues that a dealer needed between to follow to become GM authorized to sell C8’s. Each path required the purchase of specific C8 servicing tools.

Many of us were nicely surprised that the list of tools required for a Chevy dealership to purchase was truly the paltry amount of just $1,454
Thanks to Mike Davenport, aka “Chevy Dude,” we now have seen the specific tool list, and it only totals $1,454. Interesting to review them one by one. The most expensive one, a tool we expected to be on it, is a specialized “transmission support/service feature” (a cradling jack) — for one sure would not want to take a chance using an older one, then needing putting a 2”x4” here or a piece of plywood there to makeshift try to keep it secured, i.e., a DCT transaxle is a costly piece. Also required for such work is the $57 “support mount transmission table.” Lastly and relatedly, is the $200 “engine support fixture adapter.” All of these things we are not surprised to see for servicing a mid engine vehicle.
New Special Tools For Next Generation:

As we earlier discussed, having such a small list of specialized tools, says to many of us that GM spent a lot of time insuring the mid engine C8 is a serviceable vehicle.
