All that hard work is gonna pay off soon brother. Keep grinding and pumping out those videos and it’ll blow up. I found this channel last week and I’ve already watched 90% of your vids
Basically the automotive parts suppliers throw whatever they can find in a box and ship it. 50/50 it kinda of works and they often never hear from the customer. They win. Most of the OEM is better, but often not available at any price. It may be time to start hoarding parts cars ! Really good video showing how to do a little work and save a ton of money. I’ve been talking to one of my sons about stuff car owners should know about. with some effort many people can do the things you’re demonstrating. This was another good video, Happy Newyear!
Just came across your video on the vette. Good stuff. Like your style , sense of humor, and above all else, tenacity! Kind of surprised you didn't put it on a lift BEFORE you bought it. All that lower front end damage would have been a deal breaker for me, never-mind all that fucked up wiring. You've got balls. Hope you got it "dirt cheap". Oh, also liked your comment about being single so you can spend all your money on "projects " like this. I can relate. I've been been rescueing beaters, fixing them (with in reason) and flipping them for most of my life (I'm 75). Good luck.
This is hands down my favorite youtube channel lately !!! I stumbled upon it while studying for an operators license in a different state and I guess because of the diesel/ cummins content it was recommended 🤷♂️ I'm glad it was though !!!
Yeah bc that engine never gets enough airflow it’s so constricted due to all the smog and ac shit lol rip all that and you got the perfect sideshow / track car
With the scan tool , you can take the guesswork out of repairs. You can look at all data the pvm can see. My wife just got me one after 2 years of chasing ghosts in my corvette. Right away fixed abs ( stalled pump code), fixed evap (turned out to be tank pressure sensor ) and so on. Also tps relearn is "Manual Transmission Turn OFF the ignition. Restore the PCM battery feed. Turn OFF the A/C controls. Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels. Transmission in neutral. Start the engine. Allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 80°C (176°F) Turn ON the A/C controls. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes. Turn OFF the A/C controls. Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes. Turn OFF the engine for 30 seconds.
a good scan tool yes but they are a lot. there might be cheap one out there that do it but i have not personally looked into it but the super exspensive snap on will tell you down to what wire is corrosion and how deep into the wire it goes
@shortcurcuit5779 yes but a medium grade is enough for most things. The scanner my wife got me already saved me it's price by allowing me to troubleshoot, and repair. Obviously it's not the cure for everything, but the machine can do a LOT more then I can understand. I can imagine a snap-on I would get lost in for days 😂. BTW I have autel scanner tool.
What up Colin I've been on a binge watching and rewatching your videos idk your just a likeable dude I think you should have way more subs you are just as good as the big channels I watch in your own way I hope you had a good Christmas be safe on new years
Hey Colin so the product year of the c6 corvette lines up with the product year of my grand prix and let me advise you to unhook the abs module completely, run a ground wire from the battery to the motor, transmission, computer,dash floor, every spot that a ground hits the body and to take the original grounds off and strip them back and see if they are black inside bc if they are they have sucked up water like a wick. my silver grand prix has many many of the same issues your experiencesing and its is probably ground related. id see if you have a solid ground to the pcm, ecu, bcm, dash. excetera. they used a very corse type wire obviously mixed with iron and copper alloy bc thats only reason it will turn black. your gonna have to dig deep into the wiring harnes and test every lead on all the connector bc throwing parts at it will not solve corrosion issues maby a new old stock never been on the car wiring harness will fix it but more then likely your gonna have hours of time to test every thing and dont let wires drag if there a wire going to the bcm crossing or shorting out it will give it dirty signals and no it will not pop a fuse at all. check the e break and see if and wires are being crushed by it see if there any wires being crushed any where and best of luck. chevy really did every one dirty when it cheaped out on the wire type they used on the early 2000s back in the 90s copper was copper and it corrosion was green not black
I bought my vette for dirt cheap and fixed it up as well. I dropped the whole power train and just fixed everything. I was lucky it was a one owner and the body was in perfect condition. I plan to make it into a time attack c6.
Ground issue somewhere, at pcm or gage cluster. U ever unhook the battery and zip-tie the positive and negative together? Let it sit overnight, drains all capacitors. It duz work sometimes, whoever been working on it before u needs to stop.
Get a couple throttle bodies from the salvage yards but a big thing with gm’s is they don’t like different electrical signals so a consideration would w/o to grab the pedal assembly with the throttle body you get if possible!
I had the same issue when n my 2008 Escalade which had the 6.2 motor. I tried everything, the thing that worked was buying a throttle body from a junk yard with similar miles. Fixed the issue, and I passed smog next day with no codes or issues. Try a used one instead of buying new.
Its the tps sensor, detach both battery terminals touch them together, replace sensor, wait 5 min after replacing the tps, then hook the batter back up, she should be good, keep the oem gas pedle its just fine. I had the same problem on my 05 c6 with a 6 speed
my dad had multiple corvette's , we went to many corvette meetings . kinda rare here in belgium(europe) . always been a fan of V8 rumble but not a fan of filling the tank lol
Couple of quick tips. Dormam and electrical should be e4 be in same sentence. They suck bad. Other tip is there is a compensation reset or idle learn function that needs performed in scan tool
Any updates on his 3000 mile trip. Its obvious your not a super knowledgeable car enthusiast but its cool to see someone getting into it. Seem like a genuinely cool person so best of luck.
You remind me of Ethan from Grind Hard. That is a good thing. I think you will do very well if you continue Youtubin. I recently subscribed and enjoy your stuff. Keep on keepin on!
I have the same code on my 04 Chevy Silverado same reduced limp mode and guess what it's also leaking transmission fluid which leads me to believe it's the transmission going bad hopefully it helps.
You probably figured the passenger window out but you have to sit in it and roll the window all the way up and keep holding the switch for like 6 seconds to index the windows then it should pop down when you open it
you bro dont know you but as a fellow new Mexican i gotta support where i can- dont know if your watching the stock market right now but money is falling out of the sky. please dont miss out. some good tickers are KULR, archr, archr wt, bbai, bbai wt, rktlb, asts, optt, lode, rekr. there are others. its a 5 year pattern reversal. also- it was announced on Saturday that big lots is emerging from chapter 11 bankruptcy and shares are preserved, currently 6c a share on friday at close. obv not financial advice, but your kindred somehow, not just from being from nm. hope in some way this works out for you. cheers. Also-gme amc koss are in play. again- nfa- its hardly a stock market rn. more like a casino. get in and get out. dont hold bags.
I got a brand new radiator support kit, and a fan in better condition than yours hmu before you buy one!
Thanks Trevor :). Everyone go subscribe to this man’s channel for me plz
This guy was stupid in the first place not to check thoroughly that Vette .....idiot
@@steinfabgarage he hasn't posted a video in a year

Your channel has become my favorite to watch by far! Happy new year!

My old neighbor got a 2015 Chevy Malibu, she replaced the starter 6 times , brand new ones . Last year . Can’t believe it
Love seeing the cobwebs floating around in front of the camera.
Lol it’s too real no cap Fr Fr my boi
Ikr!😅
This is hands down my favorite youtube channel lately !!! I stumbled upon it while studying for an operators license in a different state and I guess because of the diesel/ cummins content it was recommended 🤷♂️ I'm glad it was though !!!
Glad to have you on board!
Wishing you all the best in 2025 bro, keep on hustling for us. Love the content!!
I literally just stumbled upon your channel. Dude your videos rock.
That's not a damaged fender. It's a cold air intake modification.
Yeah bc that engine never gets enough airflow it’s so constricted due to all the smog and ac shit lol rip all that and you got the perfect sideshow / track car
It's looking far better than when you bought it. I was pretty surprised it goes 80mph in limp mode!👍
It doesn’t like going uphill, but it goes 100 in limp mode on flat ground 😅
Bro I was having such a bad day came across ur video seen how u don’t let anything phase u and now I’m outside workin on my car, subbed!!! Thanks 🙏
Keep at it man! I do get phased, but I persevere no matter what. Keep trying! You will succeed!

We need more of these longer videos…..always entertaining with lots of information im glad to see you posting new content keep up the great work
A friend has been trying to convince me to buy one.
Thank you for cementing my resolve to stick with 20th century vehicles!

some duct tape will bring that Corvette back to better than ever.

get a oem unit from the junk and throw it in the ultrasonic
I love Tomasita's very good food. Also good video man very interesting and good editing.

Shocked they flipped the tire especially is it’s a dealer. Would think they say no due to liability
That corvette running gear in a z28 or other chev from 30s to 70s hell ya
Greetings from Brazil.. Keep on rocking
Cat door in the fender. 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️

I’m a Chevrolet dealer technician I would run all new wires from the throttle body back to the ecm
Couldn't even imagine getting a corvette from a teenager, but good content regardless. Good luck.

e4? What's that, other than a pay grade in the military?
Mine was the throttle body. I have a brand new OEM if you need it... I bought three different ones. It seems OEM is the only one I could get to work
i love this channel so much lmao
Thanks man :)
Let us know how this vette rebuild goes. Awesome video.
Any updates on his 3000 mile trip. Its obvious your not a super knowledgeable car enthusiast but its cool to see someone getting into it. Seem like a genuinely cool person so best of luck.
Also on ls the coolant sensor is extremely important.
Keep the videos coming ! 💪🙌🏼
Black ice in the Kyle mobile corvette lol. Glad you’re unfuging this vette.
Who needs the parts store when you got a papa joey?
The natural state of any corvette is being a sodacan.
Yes, people, recycle ♻️ 👏.
Cat content for the win! More please! 😀
"I guess it was only twelve inches" - That's what she said!
Hope you get to your destination safely!
Live down the road from that MI motorsports, cool shop
You remind me of Ethan from Grind Hard. That is a good thing. I think you will do very well if you continue Youtubin. I recently subscribed and enjoy your stuff. Keep on keepin on!
Yes, I've always heard bad things about Dorman parts. So steer clear of buying or using those parts. Good luck on the car dude. 🤜
So how much did you pay? Please tell me you paid 5k or less for this vette!!!
I'm going to need some video footage of that 3000-mile trip in that car😮
I have the same code on my 04 Chevy Silverado same reduced limp mode and guess what it's also leaking transmission fluid which leads me to believe it's the transmission going bad hopefully it helps.
Yo got you on my recommended
interested to witness your future endeavours
are you going to complete this vette to it's all time glory?
Check absolute throttle position and for vaccum leaks bro upper intake gaskets.
Welp. Its after Christmas. I hope you made it. If you're ever in the south PHX area and need something, hit me up.
Looking forward to the update
You probably figured the passenger window out but you have to sit in it and roll the window all the way up and keep holding the switch for like 6 seconds to index the windows then it should pop down when you open it
I’m glad you didn’t get robbed in Espanola. 😂
😂😂 spaña things
The previous owner was criminal.
im excited to see it fixed!
Need a part 2 ASAP!
I think I might know where you got that fender. I like to see cars like this saved from going to the scrap yard.
Looking great
you have to index the windows, turn on car, hold both window buttons up for 5 seconds
Bro made the Kratos corvette
Clapped! Omfg. ROFL. Love it. What did you pay for the Vette? Love your channel!
Ok, here's your fix, it's really simple, you have a disconnected ground wire off the motor, check behind the motor and underneath.
Would go junkjard trottlebody and pull the front support straight get some grills in the bumper and wrap the car complete
What part of NM brotha? Here in Abq.
Get some sleep Colin. Have fun on your trip bro. 🤙
the good thing about a Corvette is that it doesn't have dents.
I work at O’Reillys and I’ve never heard of a LT warranty so strict. Idk if they just don’t care here or what
Can’t wait for 50k

Man this video was hilarious 😂
Like Michigan Motorsports one I live in Michigan and two other price on their wiring harnesses for the seven three powerstroke and quality are great
You got magic. If I got magic I fix car all day
Dorman 😂😂😂😂 good luck soldier
Lol sounds like the kid installed a ghost cam tune.... thats wild
Dont newer throttle bodies need a relearn before they will work properly?
Yes, but it’s a 05 (old), There’s no relearn procedure in my snap on scanner for that year, I checked
@@steinfabgarage check the ohms, it would be really shitty to get like 3-4 bad ones in a row
Great video! What wheels are on your friends vette?
Desmond Wisesports
Still cant get my throttle body to work :( i have the ls3 and nothing all oem along with a pedal connector looks nice not worn any ideas 2010 corvette
The throttle position sensor is made into the throttlebody it's always the throttlebody
Im invested. Subbed.
Hell yeah joeeeey!
The boiiiiiiii!!!
Hooptie Vette.. why didn’t Trevor go with you to inspect it!??? Good Luck!..
