For the first time since I've owned it, the corvette finally gets to the track. Evergreen speedway hosts these "open class" style autocross events. I'm happy to report that other than a check engine light, active handling light, and low oil level light things went off without a hitch. My friends Tyler and Jen were there in cool cars as always. happy to finaly gain some confidence in that fat b h.

In this video I document cleaning up the interior of my 2001 Z06. by leaving the car cover on in the rain over the months it caused a big mold problem. although it may look worse than it was....it was still pretty bad. Im not a professional by any means so for legal and safety reasons.... This was filmed in mexico....
2001 C5 CORVETTE Z06 goes under the knife! New crank seal, ARP pulley bolt and Pinning the Crank!!
Просмотров 16 тыс.2 года назад
The first time I did this job , I most likely didn’t tighten the crank bolt to spec… so we’re here again! In this one I'm pulling apart my 2001 C5 Z06 for the second time to replace the crank seal. This time I'm filming it so other weekend warriors can get a sense of the process. there is also 2 "while we in there" items. first is replacing some old tensioners. Also were gonna mess with pinning...
I UPGRADED my sons Powerwheel to run a household 18volt drill battery. Extended review at very end!

In this video I upgrade my sons power wheels to support modern 18v "tool" batteries. The parts needed were around $20. I added a long tern review portion at the end.

      Hey Jesse, first off thanks for watching the video man. I sold the car a little while back, but up until that point, even after driving in wet conditions they always stayed sealed. Even though I did a pretty mid job with the sealer. Hope this helps, enjoy your vette brother!

      Like a primer paint? If that’s what you’re referring to, and plan on painting it I would. Mine didn’t come with any primer. I think only alcohol strips to help prep the surface it sticks to.

    I was an early buyer of the 7000TL. The Quickjacks work ok if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Oh, and clearly it's not true because 18 months later the new models still have the air cylinder. Whatever. I'm tired of the lies and prevarications - life is too short. I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity. I still have the quickjack in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it.
