Just to let you know, Rockauto sells those parts for 1/4 of what you pay on GmDirect.
Do you need 2 set of gauges ? Is not enough with the machine ones ?
+++SUPERB!!!
I have been watching all your episodes for a while now and I enjoy it so much! You should totally get a group of koi or goldfish for your large pond to help manage bugs and begin to balance the ecosystem. Also I would look into getting floating plants such as water lettuce or water hyacinth. While they are tropical and will most likely die over the winter; they do grow very fast and absorb access nutrients and provide shade. If you add some to your larger pond and let it expand it will greatly help. One of the general rule of thumb when having a Clearwater pond is to cover about 40% of it with shade because the main things green microalgae lives off of is access nutrients and sunlight which plants can provide both of especially the floating plants. Also one of the best places I have found for learning how to get clear water is a channel called Ozponds. One last tip I have is a high quality UV light. By having a UV light it prevents the alage from growing by sterilizing it. You just need to make sure it is a good quality one and that the bulb is still working after a year. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more episodes!
Thank you for your kind words & hope you continue to follow the evolution. We did experiment with both the water lettuce & water hyacinth back in the beginning. Water hyacinth was my favorite flourishing plant until it became a rapidly dying plant last August. Also, there is a UV light in the fountain. There has been some very interesting recent developments in regards to all things mentioned here, coming up in episode #10.
tank is 100 on Amazon now 😢
I bought some, the one with the alarm and light. They seemed to work but they did not charge very well and finally just stopped charging altogether. They are as low as $16.00 now but they did not last very long.
environmental disaster no way green no way useful
i dislike the stock tires, shitty ride where i live,,,
What do you think about installing the Koni red, which is supposed to be softer than the yellow? Also, do you think that these would fit on a 2023 Chevy EUV? Last question do you think or what do you think about the Beilstein shocks instead of the Koni? my car is definitely driving wonky it feels like the shocks and the rare are not even working.
All of the Bolts are running the same basic platform. The EUV variant is riding slightly higher, has smaller rear seat area, larger storage area, different styling, & nicer options. Weight is greater and the OEM EUV rides noticeably softer than my '17. I don't see any reason why the Koni's or Bilstein's wouldn't work. They are both great brands with a long history of producing high quality products. Mine are continuing to work great on the softest setting with no need to adjust anything. The OEM fronts are doing fine as well. Those rears are defective from the start on all Bolts. I believe the only reason it's not called out more often is because some people don't carry as much cargo or people as others... and thus don't have the problem. You should be able to have those replaced for free under warranty on 2023 model. Also, the rear beam axle seems to get itself out of alignment as well. I have video on fixing that for a few bucks vs a few grand. Blown shocks and out of alignment will make a car drive very wonky.
You're so close to having the perfect setup. You could fill the top with pea gravel and plant the plants in it while pumping water up from the pool, creating a huge natural filter and the plants will grow crazy.
That was the original plan and still is the general direction we are going. We had issues earlier on in the early episodes that side tracked us a bit. It keeps evolving.
Why did they make these car chargers so difficult I like this one cuz it's not Wi-Fi and you can turn it off but when you try to look stuff up like that it won't go to it they only go to and not explain anything the internet does not do anything anymore itself or go where you don't want to do you know how to look up these Chargers and other brands that have an on and off switch that has no Wi-Fi
Do you need extended bolts for the top bar ?
What is the black wire and the gizmo toward the middle of the seat that is covered with your blanket? Can that be safely moved out of the way to make a platform there? Is it safe to put weight on it. Looks like it could be damaged with anything heavy on it, and of course the wires are a concern. Is that a weight sensor?
Yeah, I've been wondering about that myself. I can't find it in the manual either. We know the HV battery service disconnect is the larger device towards the front under the rear seats. But, the little magic marker size thing under the rear seat back, which is visible with the rear seats in as well, is kind of a mystery. I would leave it alone.
My tire pressure readings not showing now after disconnecting battery and then the seat wiring. Wonder if it will come back on? LOL, bloodied a knuckle trying to disconnect that harness connector. Pretty stiff.
Sorry to hear about the knuckle. Maybe the passenger seat wiring connector is not fully in. I am not sure where the TPMS controller box is located on this car. Usually, it's in the back corner near either wheel. I don't think it would be near the seat. Possibly power supply is flowing thru that connector to the TPMS box located elsewhere in car. Double check that wiring connector!
Thank you for sharing this! I've been looking to replace the 12V AGM battery in my bolt with a LifePO4 battery for some time and was concerned with the battery that I chose to fit in the tray. Now that I see how its held together, I can make my own out of ABS plastic and insulate the new box to keep the LifePO4 insulated during the colder months! Thank you! 🎉
Glad I could help.
Oof 😢you should just delete this
Works, I assume no canbus issues
No CANBUS issues.
I carry 8-foot lumber in my 2017 Bolt quite often. I just fold down the driver's side of the rear seat, wrap a heavy blanket around the front end of the lumber, and then feed it diagonally through the hatch so the front end sits on the dash just above the glove compartment.
Could we get another update?
Yes, a lot of improvements have been made recently. Stay tuned.
How long do they keep; working after the sun has gone.
They don't work in the daytime or any other time.
@@theevolvingworld HaHaHa, ok thanks I won't waste my money.
@@theevolvingworld Sure seems like it. Cats still coming on porch and flowerbed.
I also have the 2017 Orange Burst Bolt EV ! I'd love to do this mod to mine, and i would gladly except your extra green LED light strip for the project =) Go ahead and send it to Tennesse for me? =) Great tutorial =)
Do you have a video on the rear bumper?
Worthless video
What shock upgrade did you do?
Koni Yellows ruclips.net/video/bnxIMI0KO1M/видео.html
I think it came out looking pretty good. Thanks for the video
Thanks!
Did you not hear what you said?? It is a safety feature for the benefit of pedestrians. If this is not illegal (and it certainly should be) it is incredibly self-centered.
I like the white, and thank you so much for these videos!
Glad you liked them!
Simply put the fuse back in before servicing. 🤷 However, today, in 2024, there is likely no easy way to do this anymore.
They work on woodpeckers too.
I don't own an ev and never plan to yet here I am watching this video on how to turn of the vacuum cleaner sound on one
For anyone watching this old video, this car is considered the most green car on the planet more than an electric vehicle.
AFTER looking at the comments SORRY THIS VIDEO IS FINE...... TELLS PEOPLE THE BASIC INFO AND HOW TO GET THE JOB DONE. VIDEO WAS GOOD.........
Thanks!
Wow this was a GREAT video. Thank you..............
Range. What does it do to the range???
You dogged a bullet by having the Azola die. It is a nightmare in a pond.
It could be the sealer on the tiles that are causing your problem?
very helpful, thank you
Hi, great video! I just bought a "new to me" chevy bolt. I have always preferred 60 series tires. I live up in Canada and have to get a winter set of tires, so i will be doing exactly what you have done, but with winter brand from General tires. I have been a fan of general tires for years now. Good tires!
So how do you Put the Refrigerant Back in the Car? With all that Air in the Tank and a Little Bit Of The Refrigerant??
how easy or hard was it to undo the fasteners on the back with the wheel in the way? most annoying part of the front install so far
This might be my favorite video of all time. Sound done.
Cool. But why is the dirty water higher than the pool water?
How much was the battery?
It was free !
toe in actually stabalises a car and helps it go in a straight line, it would be less stable with completely straight 0 degrees toe and even less stable with toe out.
At 200 miles the brakes no longer worked, replacing them was a pain in the ass and expensive. I don't recommend this bike just because of the crap brakes it comes with from the factory, they are poop.
Score!!!
5,000 gal., 750 gal., 40 gal., numerous microclimates created, here.
Raccoon or animal... either fish, frogs or some sort of desired food source is keeping it coming back... even bulbs or tubers of your favorite plants. I had a mom and 3 baby Racoon terrorize our ponds and beloved orchids etc., it was the most distrubing 3 weeks. Long story short... I finally figured a great way to have The 3 Amigo's go terrorize elsewhere, of their own accord... lol it was in October.
Thanks for sharing your similar experiences! It is very terrifying not knowing what to expect from what should be a fairly controlled environment. We did find a different solution that has put an end to the attacks. Coming up in Ep. #8 the winter update.
Question... why not add a black pigment to concrete that holds solar panel racking structure, where applicable? i.e. ground install pad. Why leave concrete light color, rather then, black?
Lower profile, tires usually handle better, then taller profile tires, which tend to “bend” corners. But I guess everything is give-and-take
