1948 Chevy Guy
США
Добавлен 28 июн 2020
A couple years ago I bought this 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster in hope to be able to do minor maintenance and sharing my videos with people of similar interests. Unfortunately I became ill in the fall and had to part with my beloved Chevy this spring. I kept the videos posted in hope they can help someone but I won’t be posting anything new unfortunately. Thank you all for the warm and supportive comments and I hope that some of you will post videos to help others.

Two Week Old Tesla Model 3 Destroyed Crash in Mt Airy Maryland
To showcase the safety of a two week old 2023 Tesla Model 3 that was rear ended at 60 mph while almost standing still. The car was then thrown into the incoming lane, missing a tractor trailer by inches then to be hit head on by a VW Jetta at traveling at speed. All airbags deployed front and rear totally wrecked but I was able to open the door and get out, dazed and confused but not seriously hurt...The car press always mentioned panel gaps but never how solidly built the car is...I bought another Model 3 a week later....Well done Elon!

Costco LED Lantern Conversion to Lightbulb

Thank you to those who subscribed to my "1948 Chevy Guy" channel. I hope the few videos I made were helpful. Unfortunately, I had to part with my Chevy but I will occasionally make a video or two when I find a subject that might be helpful. I hope converting my Costco lanterns will interest some of you and perhaps save you a few buck in the process. The lanterns are fine, it's just the crappy 1...

1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Transmission fluid change
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
This is a video of basic maintenance on my 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Country Club Coupe. On this video I replace the transmission fluid on a manual 3 speed transmission as well as engine oil.
Hey there, great video. In your description, you have two product links. Does the one for the ceramic fixture come complete with everything needed for this conversion?
I noticed the bottom transmission to bell housing bolts go from bell housing into the trans. I knew truck trans were like that but didn’t know early Chevy cars were the same. I learned something new and it’s always a good day when I learn new things, Thank You!
Thank you for detailed video… I did this but left in the sensor, was hoping it would work… unfortunately now when I turn on the lights… they flicker… makes a clicking sound like a blinker in a car… (weird) no matter what type of bulb I use… the only difference in mine is I left the sensor in…🥲😢 guess I will try one more time to see if I can fix this. Darn was hoping this would be the fix… any suggestions???
thank you for posting this simple and effective solution to save fixtures and money.
Glad it helped
Hey Chevy Guy, do you have an email address we can use to contact you regarding this video? I'd love to discuss a license to use this if possible! Cheers, Felix
you are welcome to use it.
@@ChevyGuy-kx7im Awesome thank you! Would you be alright with submitting the video to our submission site provided on our channels about page? :)

@@ChevyGuy-kx7im Thank you
Lucky the battery didnt catch fire
Yes indeed!
What a Muppet!!!
I've not had a crash where my car was totalled so for those who have what is worse, losing a new car like this or something you've owned for years and got loads of memories with?
I have been driving since 1970 and this is my first serious accident. The car can be and has been replaced with little effort. The worst part in looking anxiously in my rearview mirror every time I stop at a traffic light. I never have been afraid driving until now..
Lucky you didnt hit that truck path
At the time I did not see it, I think I was out for a short time, it is only when I watched the car videos from the onboard multiple built in cameras that I realized how close I was to have been hit by that truck. Although the 19 Gs hit from the Jetta was pretty bad considering that I was pushed hard into its path by the moron who hit me...
So many distracted drivers out there these days. I wonder if they were looking at their phone. I'm glad your Model 3 protected you so well from that double whammy. Multicar collisions are scary because the airbags can only work once. Good to hear you got another Model 3. They're great cars.
Good point. Doesn't the tesla have a giant phone mounted to the dash that you must use for everything involved with driving? I know my girlfriends subaru does as well as 99% of all new cars. Accidents are happening everyday just because someone had to adjust their heat. It's nonsense. Not to mention that carmakers know this and thats why they install features that let you know when you're drifting out of your lane or when the traffic in front of you starts moving. Roads are becoming more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians because of these distractions.
All good points, I don't think the old minivan that hit me had any sort of technology on board and I don't know why the driver spent so much time with his eyes off the road, you can clearly see on the video how long it took me to hit me. Unfortunately I was looking forward and I just saw him when he was only a couple feet behind me coming in a over 60 mph according to the State Patrol. No skid marks...Anyway, it is good that we all walked away and I feel bad for the kid driving the Jetta, he has no idea that I was going to pop in front of him.
Yes they are and having all these cameras made it easy to prove to the insurance that I did not back up and hit the car behind me at 60 mph...lol. The driver that rear ended me was charged at the scene...
That was hefty, glad you´re alive and well!
Thank you
@@ChevyGuy-kx7imwhen did this happen? I was in a much less serious collision and I started to feel my injuries about 3-5 months later. Trust me, see a doctor, talk to an injury lawyer.
Hi 1948 Chevy Guy, is it ok if I use this clip "Two Week Old Tesla Model 3 Destroyed Crash in Mt Airy Maryland." on my channel? with credit (name on screen). Can you explain what happened ?update?
Feel free to use it but I would be grateful if you mentioned the build quality of the Model 3. It is a really well built and safe car.. It is simple to explain the onboard cameras show it pretty well. I just starting rolling after a red light when I got hit by a 90 year old man who for some reason was not paying attention. right before impact, he swerved to the right just a tiny bit but it was enough to send me in the incoming lane, missing a tractor trailer by inches and getting nailed by a Jetta. My car was destroyed, but the doors still open and I was basically uninjured. The onboard black box revealed a 21Gs in the rear impact and almost immediately a 19Gs from the front impact. I am lucky to have been driving my tesla instead of my old 1948 Chevy. I would have been killed or seriously injured in the Chevy that had no seat belts and no air bags...Hope this helps.
thank you very much@@ChevyGuy-kx7im

@@ChevyGuy-kx7im I'm curious, where are the cameras in the 3rd and 4th views located? In the side view mirrors?
Great idea..I have the same light fixtures.
Thanks for posting this! Mine started flashing and I replaced the driver.. Then another problem.. Fortunately I bought two of the Altairs at Costco, so I had a reserve. Next time, I will be doing this. This is somewhat similar to what I did inside my house - replacing CFL can lights which had ballasts die with standard socket cans and LED bulbs. Thanks again!
what about the sensor ?
I disconnected the sensor when I bought the lights, so if you want a light sensor, you will need to swap it for a 120V since the original is 12 volts
Hi. Is there a list of the items you used so I could buy them please
I added items list in the description
Great video, im tackling this task today.
What kind of transmission oil do I use on my 51 chevy styleline deluxe? It's a 3 on the tree trans
I used Lucas 80W90 heavy duty gear oil
Awesome extremely helpful
I am so happy you posted this. I finally have changed four of our LED parts for bulbs. Kits come with everything you need. I was surprised how fast you can install the bulb parts. I still have two more to do but I am so happy. I can use colored bulbs in these now for the Holidays. I was always kind of bummed I couldn't use them. I truly appreciate your showing this video. I had not thought of this. My husband is happy too, he didn't have to do it!😅. Thank you! I also just left the photocell working. I just left it as is. We have 6 lights, four on the front of our shop and these save us having to go out there and turn them on and off every night. They do not have to be disabled. I am thrilled about that!
May I know what kits you used? I also wish to leave the photocell working. TIA.
I posted the list of items needed in the description
thank u
What axle is that? My '48 chevy truck looks similar but I'm having a tough time nailing down the ID on it.
that looks like gear oil🤔
I used Lucas 80W90 heavy duty gear oil
i didnt see a link for parts
I have added the list of parts in the description
thank you i have had mine for about 9 mos and your video was very helpful again thank you
Altair lighting now has a repair kit for $ 16.00 includes a new plate with built in driver and a new sensor. Easy install
I found a kit, but it was $36. Can you help us find what you are talking about?
If you call Altair directly, they sell the cheaper kit. I haven't heard if they last a bit longer, I have two (out of three)of these lights bad now, and I'm trying to figure out the best solution.
I have these lights and the LED burned out. I was wanting to change the LED so it matched the others.
Thanks! Great video. Does the light kit come with the little rod that you put the wires through? The rod that stabilizes the light kit?
Hay which transmission oil did you use ? Beste Wishes
I used Lucas 80W90 heavy duty gear oil
You are very underrated please make more car videos real knowledge
What a nice thing to say! Unfortunately my knowledge is limited and I don't have my 48 Chevy to work on anymore, so I only post something when I think I can help some other folks..Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it
went to Costco and picked up an $8 carriage light swapped out the lamp /light parts and wired it to to the dusk light sensor it to 15 minutes including drilling a large hole for the wiring and done. Inexpensive fix..
what do you mean $8 carriage light. was there a clearance?
Good alternative and i suggest to use a dawn & dusk bulb to replace the photocell.
I followed this video and it works perfectly. Thanks for posting
i have a 48 fleetmaster 2 door town sedan i planned on refinishing the dash and interior window trims i started calling around for quotes on hydro dipping but i might give this a try you should make a video of your wood panel 48
unfortunately, I had to sell my '48
Thank you for making this video
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Chevy guy. I loves this video. The only problem I have is that I can't find the light socket with the nipple that you used. Can you tell me where you got it or what is the proper name. Steven
Glad it helped you. I found them on Amazon. Here is the link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083918KSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Lowes carries them and so does a good True Value Hardware store…
Great video thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! What's the reason you didn't replace the LED and drivers?
I have about 8 or 10 of these and several of them failed due to sub-standard drivers. So I decided to eliminate the drivers and led. Now they are working fine.
I did that on all 6 of our lights two years ago, they all failed in two years. Changing to bulbs is so easy, I used LED Edison bulbs in each. They look so nice! I can use different colored bulbs in them now for the Holidays. But I keep the automatic on feature on each. Works great!
I have a 1948 chevy stylemaster just did a transmission rebuild trying to see if I have to put oil in the bellhousing area or does the transmission oil reach back there if I do have to put oil in bellhousing area how much
Disconnect the speedo cable and remove the outer speedo gear then pump about 6-8 oz in through the hole.
Can you show how to do an oil change?
that was the point of this video...
