Sick Week Day 2 - Orlando Rain Out and Fixing Brakes...
only downside is no manual gearbox
A factory manual transmission was available in Australia, but never in the U.S.A.
Can you get parts from Australia
Did it say 0-60 in 1 day
That’s probably accurate haha
Does it need spacers on front and back? And are they same bolt pattern?
Same bolt pattern. The rear needed 7.5mm spacers.
I had an 06 SS and my transmission went out twice …. I hated to get rid of that car 😩 …same color all black too…only mod i did was replaced the headrests with the impala headrest with the SS logo
The transmissions seem to be the weak link in these cars.
Thank you for lowering the price on the market
I do what I can
They don’t make em like they used to
That’s a fact
18:00 shut it off drain and flush the fuel change the filter!
That’s a good call!
The funny part is you knew all these reasons before you bought it and you still bought it lol
I really enjoy the car!
This has definitely been the worst video on RUclips on amything. Is does nothing to inform what needs to be done. What a waste of time!!
Thanks for the feedback! 😊
Mine was dead for 3 years I replaced everything just to find out I needed to replace my battery cables 😂😂😂 it definitely will run but now I gotta clean out the sap and debris 😩😩
Glad you got it running!
What headers are these? S10 eBay headers?
Stainless steel LS swap headers for a S13.
@@MickelsonRacingChannel where did you get them I’m a welder I’d like to save money and customize my own
@@King_gabrielll they came with the car when I bought it. It was part of some LS swap kit for an S13 that the previous owner bought.
Wiring is actually one of my favorite things when it comes to cars. I never understood why people have an issue with it. What’s REALLY hard is body and paint. As for the alternator wire, routing it along the sway bar is not the best idea. It is both vulnerable and subject to lots of movement (which can cause it to fail). Much better would be to route it on the radiator support. Also, given the consequences of a short, it would be best to use some plastic conduit to protect it. A large fuse/fusible link is also a good idea.
Good tip! I agree that body and paint are much more difficult and more boring to me than wiring.
Hey, I'm looking at a 2013 on an online auction where the description states "low pressure valve core leaking". Any ideas on what they could be talking about? ac? Thank you
Sounds like the low pressure Schrader valve on the A/C in my opinion.
@@MickelsonRacingChannel Thanks!
What do you expect ? It's a chevy dude.
Good call!
Greetings all, this is an older video, but I’m just seeing it for the first time. I’ve had my 06 TBSS for about a year and a half now and love it! Your low oil pressure is not normal. Mine idles at 42 psi when hot and purrs like a big cat. I don’t have the same thing you experience with unlocking with the remote. You might want to check your remote settings In the driver information center. Regarding trailer lighting, I have a round 7 to 4 flat connector permanently installed with the four flat connector zip tied to the Left chain loop with a few inches of slack. Normally it is tucked in by the hitch receiver. When I need it, pull it out and plug it in. No big deal. Work smarter, not harder. Mine is mostly stock except a K&N cold air intake and resonator delete and averages 14.9 miles per gallon. Not sure why yours is lower. When was your last tuneup? And regarding snow buildup, I keep mine in the garage. Funny how two people with the same vehicle can have totally different experiences.
Sounds like you have a great example of a trailblazer ss! My oil pressure issue was fixed by changing oil filter brands. Definitely different experiences, two different applications as well!
Two Wheel Drive is better. I bet. Less Drive Train to worry about. Of course it isn’t a train… typical general motor lighting. One can replace the headlight switch.
I prefer 2wd for that reason.
The price on these are ridiculous now at first they was fair at 4-8k now they 10k+ i would just get a g8 for the price these cost now
5/10/24👍🏽😎
Yep!
I don’t care about any of that stuff, I want THAT MOTOR
Me too!
Mine doesn’t have any holes drilled in it. It also never saw service so it had 38K when i bought it. I also don’t abuse it like this guy does.
That’s awesome! It sounds like you have a really nice quality car!!
Chicago accent ya got dere
Haha
Isn’t it a Pontiac G8?👀 why can’t you find parts for that?
It’s actually a Chevy Caprice, G8 body parts are different.
They didn’t bring over many of either the G8 or the Caprice, you also gotta figure the newest G8 is 15 years old and 15 years is a lot of time for low production cars to start dwindling, ergo very little spare parts after all the time.
@@ianscheurer very true!
Hard to beat a Chevy😅
Tis true
Nothing beats statesman and caprice! Ive had mine for 20 years no issues and i dont want any other car..... im in australia with a statesman 2007.
That’s awesome!

WTF!!!........f.t.w. 24... w.f.f.w.
IF you buy an old police car. And expect a luxury car You will be disappointed. I on the other hand would love it.😊
I agree! You’re setting yourself up for failure if you expect SS quality with a Caprice budget.
Really only the first one is something to consider, the rest should be expected by anyone who has the slightest idea what they're getting. My goal is to turn one into a rough and tough mad-max inspired deal, so the rest aren't downsides. I just want the form factor and powertrain.
A mad-max inspired caprice would be interesting for sure!
Just found a company online that you send your ppv Navi unit to and they'll unlock it
@@tiger9racing779 awesome!
I found a 2015 caprice ppv for sale near me. Would it be a bad daily? How's the reliability?
I have found the reliability to be very good, especially with standard maintenance. I would have used mine for a daily if I wasn’t lowered and lived on gravel roads.
The reason the caprices interior is poor quality was to save money and this car wasn’t meant to be sold to the general public so obviously the interior isn’t gonna have many features or has cheap materials
That’s a good point!
Thanks for the input, I own 7 of them now. All 11-13's.
Those were performance spark plugs? Mine has less miles but does not sound like that one!
It did sound pretty healthy.
In Australia, the Caprice was used to drive Politicians and heads of state around. In America the Caprice was used to haul criminals around.. Same same really!! the only difference is the Aussie criminals got the leather pack.
That’s a fun fact!
Stfu you just want people to avoid em so you can be in the market
Look I just I just gotta know man.I have to own it. What even is this car. I have never seen or heard of it before since about 5 minutes ago.
Chevrolet Caprice PPV! This one is a 2012, so the 2011-2013 model. There is also a 2014-2017 model in the USA with an interior facelift. These were imported from Australia into the USA strictly for police use only from 2011-2017. 6.0L L77 V8, six speed auto transmission, rear wheel drive.
@@MickelsonRacingChannel huh thats pretty cool! Thank you for the info! So they are pretty much just a Holden/Chevy?
@@blaise1016 it’s a Holden. Chevy just rebranded it for the import.
I tried to look up Dustin Maning but didn’t have any luck…..did I spell his last name right…..? Thx
I believe he stopped selling them now and left Facebook. Try Tony Tolbert (Caprice of Shift).
@@MickelsonRacingChannel I found a new guy willsbuild on Facebook that makes them…….but not sure if it will work on mine….. I’ve got a 2014…. But hey love the video
Was it just me or did his 🔥 burnouts make me wanna go get one right now 😂😂😂😂
Mission accomplished
Or invalid concern 🤣or other wise known as either 'I really don't care' or I don't give a £#€¥,
Nice
Also , just like I've said to my nefeue.. have yoh ever watched the tachometer to cease to be in whatever you RPM it's going to , I'd be worried that it will be over raved easy because the tachometer needle flys up fast regardless of ignition cut, shorly it goes 7ooorpm at least 🤔👉
Valid concern, better safe than sorry!
You should get another interior
I did!
What the he'll! Why are you reving like that on the spot
Such noises are obnoxious
@@MickelsonRacingChannel my nefeue sometimes revs up his caprices a sometimes up only a fraction comparison and he does it when hasn't warmed up, makes me cringe like eek! I think he does it because I always say warm it up! You must be the same generation 🤐
@@shaunessex3095 nothing like a good cold rev
made in australia thats why plenty of parts here.
Yep!
Damn bro what happened to your ceiling
It’s lived a full life
10:22 all i was thinking was the song rolling by limp biskit
Haha!
Ive got a 71 K20 4x4, they are very rare. The half ton 4x4s are easily found and i also found out the 71s and 72s bring the highest dollar
People sure seem to like the 71/72’s. I’d imagine due to factory disk brakes. I’m partial to the 67/68 due to the hood slant.
The last set I bought needed this plastic shims or spacers and I was really careful about trying to get the correct wheels! I bought a 5 spoke mag that look terrific but I can't get them balanced correctly because weights only go on the inside of the wheel, at least that's the excuse they're giving me!
These C6 wheels require a spacer in the rear, I believe it’s 7.5mm if I remember correctly.
Do you know what other wheels are interchangeable? I'm guessing that c6 wheels are pretty expensive
Used wheels can be had reasonable. The bolt pattern is 5x120, so there is a good selection. Camaro wheels, G8 wheels, SS wheels, etc. Some folks are running pretty creative used wheel packages.
Hey Mick, what wheels are on your sled? Thnx,I wanna get some different wheels maybe u can help me out
The wheels in this video are C6 Z06 18/19 staggered.
yooo l have a quick question what’s the name of your caprice Rims??
Check the maga fuse by the battery two bolts
