Brass headlight gears! Oil catch can. Diff mount to mitigate wheelhop. HP tuners to lower the efan temp thresholds and clean out the radiator. Clean out the cowl udders. Resoldering the surface mount resistors fixes the hvac display. I'm sure I could add to the list but i gotta get back to work. Solid video, especially for any first time c5 buyers!
Thank you so much for all the videos about the C5 Z06. I’m a young car enthusiast 21 years old and i own a c5 z06 03, there’s not a lot of RUclipsr for this car thank God you’re here!
I really liked your second tip regarding the axle “clunk” noise. I have never seen a video about fixing this issue. May I suggest that you should create a video specifically about this.
The reason Ls1's consume oil is the PCV system. Take off throttle body and look at all the oil..... Install a catch can (PROPERLY) No more OIL loss, dry intake and valves.
Thanks Bad Dad, a lot of good tips, I’ll be changing my trunk struts on my C5Z, it slammed down on my hand recently. I have upgraded the stock Bose system to JL Audio, speakers, amps, and sub woofer in the trunk with a fairly new Pioneer head unit. C6 short throw shifter is much preferred to the stock C5 shifter. Bi-xenon headlights are awesome stock headlights are dangerously dim.
Overall nice video and some good points. As I see in other comments there are still many things to consider and doing as needed. Preferably in Preventive Maintenance. My only suggest for you is when doing videos make sure that your Vette is clean, highly detailed. Seeing dirty windshields, leaves where they don't belong, the entire engine compartment is spotless and shiny looking like it's in a dealership showroom. That goes a long ways for viewer's to know that you are meticulous and serious and knowing that you know what you are doing. Not that you don't but as a 6 time Corvette owner going back to 1970 LT-1 to my latest 2003 C5 Z06 which btw is in Milenium Yellow as well. Keep up the good work and as I like to say- Drive. Smile. Wave.
You have helped me out. I hate the ground issues! I cleaned all 9 up on my c5 (those splice connectors are so bad). In addition I added a bit of dielectric grease, at harbor freight you can get silicone caps, I added those to the posts along with some butyl tape to the ones in the engine bay. They should never have water on them again )) - I am very thankful because I had the same problem with the door - I spend a good 4 hours cleaning up the module connectors (probably not a bad idea anyway) when it was just the wires in the flexible conduit!
My C5 had what sounded like a rear suspension squeak. It took a while but I found the small springs suspending the exhaust pipes were rubbing causing the squeak. A squirt of penetrating oil fixed it! Great video ! Thank you. I learned new things.
Once again more great tips i will focus on. I'm really on the fence about swapping engine for an 427LSX crate. I figured I'll wait til the gremlins show them selves and go at it. I guess Kanye West has maintained mental stability with what he's gone through chasing gremlins in an C5 will be child's play. Good stuff my friend👍 saw the garage ceiling short 👌 your castle coming together. 🥳 .til next one.😎
Ive been thinking there has to be some sort of semi-transparent film you can put on your windshield above the HUD to make it more visible. I generally don't have an issue, but on super sunny days and my polarized sun glasses, it can make it a little harder to see it
I have a question for when I hit the memory on the door it shuts off my a/c and at times I go to put the a)c on and it sounds like it wants to come on but the dot light blinks and it goes out and it doesn't come on any suggestions, TY very much for your time and I hope you have a great day 💯
Enjoyed the video as always with your Corvette tips. I need a little more detail on the Liqui Moly recommendation. What is the specific product you put in your car, as Liqui Moly makes quite a few additives, even several gear products? My car is a 2000 with a six speed that's got some upshift issues, 1st to 2nd mainly, but also just putting it into 1st leaving a stop light. George White
Buddy can you write which additive did you use on the MT? What kind of oil should I use?? I saw a ATF FLUID sticker at one side of the gearbox. What oil do you use?
Video should be renamed 20 things why you should buy a base model instead of a Z06 lmao 🤣 Fun fact: gas cap on the c5 is electric ⚡️ you have to jumpstart the dead battery to open the gas cap which is so weird

roof trims, they leak so so easily! That is a huge one...
I’ve had my C5 Z06 for 21 years now and you’ve taught me a thing or two for sure. Good video. 👍

The C6 shift knob is my favorite look on these cars! What shifter do you have on here? The height looks perfect.
Great video! :)
I can confirm many of these also. What is the Liquid Moly for the trans that you used? Never heard of this.
My moroso catch can works great, also I run sae 40wt oil
Great video. Which Liqui Moly product do you use in the trans?
