Wiper fluid sensor is upside down or sideways. The sensor has no indication of which way is up, but if not oriented correctly will read empty. It's a gravity switch. Unfortunately it fits just fine in any orientation.
Poor Jake, it looked a little too early for him😂 And Elliot, just thinking about kitty cats.🤣 JR wishing there was more to do on the supercharged Nissan.👍 you guys rock.
Those exhaust clamp bolts that are sticking straight down, I'd turn them as far up as you can and still be able to get on the nuts. I've seen those scrap the ground. Did you figure out what that sticky stuff is? Nice! I like the color.
I tell you what I just did to mine. It is a 2003 C5 Z06 I picked up for $16,500 with ABS fault. New stock LS6. Cat delete, 3” pipes (previous engine turbo LS at 900hp until it popped). It had the typical ABS fault. I rebuilt the ABS module in an afternoon. Not fun, but definitely satisfying.
@@Fulloctanegaragewow, nice! I bought a black 03 C5Z 2 years ago with 70,000 miles. It has 76,000 now and makes some funny drive train noises. Also had two bad front wheel bearings and a starter. Would have been nice to have such low miles!
I'm all for modding your car the way you want, including valved or loud exhausts, but these days cats flow really well--the power sacrifice is miniscule. Even if your state doesn't check, there's no reason to be irresponsible. It's like littering.
Flow isn't the issue but cost typically is. Furthermore, modern engines like this are very efficient and don't pollute to any real extent. The cats are simply a back up plan that are not really needed given modern combustion efficiency.
This is beautiful corvette even the car is old just love the way it looks . John always surprises as from ford focus to corvette Bentley to jaguar to super car and yesterday was Nissan truck and today l didn't see this coming. Congrats on the corvette.
The marker light is pretty easy to replace. Mine had a bad seal so the bulb would pop if I went through an automatic car wash or heavy rain while it was on. Open the hood, unscrew the hood brace so you can stick your arm in, reach in and down from the front of the car and you can squeeze and twist the bulb out. Over 13 years I replaced it so many times it only took me about 5-10 minutes.
I love it.... when Elliot mentioned that the hood struts may have been failing - JR's eyes got big and he started smiling - he wants to replace them SO BAD! One day I'll own a FRC.... one day.....
It's a great car, and I'd LOVE to have it, but a $49 raffle ticket is a bit steep considering how many contests I've entered and never won a single thing. :) Good luck though!
Would be cool to see you and Elliot working together more! He has access to lifts and you need some for at least the near-term future. You could bring a lot of knowledge and help to a few of his builds too. He hasn't been able to post much lately, so maybe this would help?
JR mentioned emissions testing. I noticed that this car is from New Jersey. Humm?? The question is since New Jersey is one of the 19 states that requires emissions testing how did this Corvette pass the test with no cats? Well now. 1) The cats were removed during the two year period between emission testing. And then the car was sold....possible. 2) OR..someone greased someones palm with $$$ so the car would pass the test. 3) There could be some sort of exemption for this 'Vette? Who knows for sure?
I saw a Yellow Corvette and Eliot's garage and panicked for a second. Thought he'd sold his until I realized it was a different Corvette... Also 💯%Jake's here too!
Great video and quick turnaround with the mugs. I ordered mine earlier in the week and it arrived on Friday. Excellent customer service and cool Vette. Great to see Jake and Elliot in your vlog. Now let us find Jake another Insight.
I prefer late C4s for styling and interior (and want a ‘96) but these LS C5s are so fun! Drove a friends father’s 93 and 00 roadsters back to back- the 2000 was definitely the more fun of the two
Cool ride. Maybe some day....but probably be hard for me to drive right now...recovering from a major broken leg issue last May. No doubt someone will enjoy this thing.
Thank you JrGo for being honest and showing flaws of the corvette and not hiding it. I’m not saying the corvette isn’t good but the other guy looked a little irritated every time you showed something wrong. Thank you for your honest!
I honestly like this Corvette better than the new ones. Sure, the new ones are a lot faster, and have a bunch of gimmicky gadgets, but this car is what a Corvette should be.
The hood struts leaking is probably correct and the PO probably replaced the failed hood struts but did not clean up the mess. That explains the mess and why there are not currently leaking.
That's a sweet Corvette, I like the yellow w/ black leather. I don't even really like them either. Sadly, She won't pass NC emissions plus I do not know how to drive a stick. Just noticed Jake is taller than JR, over the years how did I miss that? Hope it goes to a good home, not some kid who will trash it in 6 months...
Three failed sensors? I doubt it. I think it is the instrument cluster. Send it to United Radio if it is the not the sensors. P.S. My second set of C5 tire are 2003 and have been stored in the basement for 18 years. They look new, only 5000 miles. Not a concern,
"De-catted" is not something I'd brag about. There's performance catalytic converters that won't rob HP; removing the cat sentences everyone behind this Corvette to stinky exhaust and carcinogens.
Highly unlikely that someone sprayed Fluid Film in the area of the hood struts. Corvettes in the Northeast don't need undercoating. There are very few owners that would drive their Vette in the snow or on wet salty roads.
I was so excited for a half second you guys were finally going to do my idea of the VinWiki style of "what each others fleets are worth" series together. Instead, its win a Corvette. Oh well, I needed a new coffee cup too anyways.
If I could help Watch JR Goes inspect the Corvette I would drink the shots of whiskey and cold Bartle Skeets with him and puff on the Cannibus cigars with him and get all schmoked up.
I actually DRIVE my cars. I'm not a collector that puts them on a pedestal. So when someone tries to sell me something with like "ONLY" 50K miles" all I hear is "right about the time things start to break". I would rather buy that vette with 100K. Providing the work that was done to it was professional. And yet for a vehicle with "only" 50K miles that one sure has a lot of problems. Shouldn't need 3 sensors and a litany of other little code issues. Seems the world of performance cars is all about performance, for the first mile then things start breaking. This is true of any but the more expensive the car the faster things break. Go buy a ferrari or bugatti. Within 15K miles things break and cost a fortune to repair. Worthless. Vettes are the most high end car I would own.
Well, I made an entry to win. Didn't really care for the mug but figured if that's the price of admission, OK. I had a 1965 Corvette in my 20s, might be nice to get a replacement 40 years later.
I enter the contest bought the mug it showed a cost of 49 dollars but I was billed 56 dollars . You need to look into the company you have team up with to sell the tickets their appears to be a problem
in Ohio they only check cars that are less than 25 years old for E-Checks. They do make sure you have CATS but once you hit the 25 year mark no one is looking to see if you have a CAT or even a Muffler.
We need more videos with you three., Elliot Volvo Master, Jake the Elon Musk of bikes and Jon Ross Engineer. The laundry list is only one shirt and a pair of socks lol 😅
The Nittos on my C4 have a 2012 date code. There is good tread and no rotting but I have to admit every time I’m doing more “spirited” driving it’s in the back of my mind.

Why don’t you just become a C-5 mechanic

Isn’t it illegal to offer a raffle without a free enrollment option
@@enolamfitness5683 there are mail-in instructions in the official rules.
If I had a nickel for everytime I've seen johnross buy a c5 Corvette, I'd have like 4 nickels
Ugh, I'd have like a dollar 😬
That ain't much but it's a miracle it happened that many times.
@@WatchJRGo I fully support a full blown C5 addiction on your part.
And a dallor for every c6
Rub em together.
Another great video featuring the expected JohnRoss plus Jake and Elliot as a fantastic bonus , more group videos please!
Buying C5s is not a problem, it is a solution (the problem is boredom)
Wiper fluid sensor is upside down or sideways. The sensor has no indication of which way is up, but if not oriented correctly will read empty. It's a gravity switch. Unfortunately it fits just fine in any orientation.
In 1968, I owned a "59" Vette. It was without a doubt the best car I ever owned. After all these years, I still think about, and miss that car.
This car is so good it’s almost making me want to convert to being a full-time C5 guy.
I love the fact Jake has his coffee mug upside down - sh*ts given -none
Glad I searched for the comment I was gonna say A level troll by Jake.. lol
I was almost expecting Elliott to pull the cover off his yellow C4 for a side by side comparison. 😂
Poor Jake, it looked a little too early for him😂 And Elliot, just thinking about kitty cats.🤣 JR wishing there was more to do on the supercharged Nissan.👍 you guys rock.
Elliot did look like his mind was somewhere totally different, at least in the intro =D

Nice! I like the color.
My three favorite RUclipsrs and a Corvette? Life can't get any better!!

On the fuel gauge this will sound crazy but run a couple of bottles of Techron fuel additive and sometimes that will fix the sender.
Oh yeah! I forgot that usually works
@@WatchJRGo By the way, great find. I recently bought the same car but a 2003 50th anniversary Z06 with only 9700 miles on it;

"Did I find the previous owner of my PT Cruiser" -Jake that Cruiser really hurt you didn't it - beautiful car and a great giveaway -
The perfect car. Simple. So much appreciate this over the new C8. Proper manual shift.
One the best color and wheel combos in my opinion
Maybe the strut has already been replaced, and they never cleaned up the leaking goo from the old one?
That was a hell of a car in its day. Not much could hang with it, especially at the track. I used to run with the fastest cars around at Road America.
Still is
I had the almost identical car, with 20 inch Gianni rims. Sadly t boned. Teared up when I saw this one....
I honestly like this Corvette better than the new ones. Sure, the new ones are a lot faster, and have a bunch of gimmicky gadgets, but this car is what a Corvette should be.
Almost the same mods I have on my 01z I love it and will never let it go

I think the easiest test is swapping the wiper fluid sensor and seeing if it goes away 🍻
How did the previous owner ever pass car inspection in NJ? 🤔
If it’s driven less than 3K per year, then it’s exempt in NJ.
"De-catted" is not something I'd brag about. There's performance catalytic converters that won't rob HP; removing the cat sentences everyone behind this Corvette to stinky exhaust and carcinogens.
I like that it is a hard top, no targa top. I know,in the non z06 that is pretty rare.
Finally back to ur old stuff that I like and subscribed to
Elliot and Jake too?
Best video of 2023 so far.
WOW,
That’s a super clean Vette. We’d LOVE to win this
That is a sweet ride man!
That fuel sending unit is a bear to replace.
Very nice C5 !! Short laundry list for repairs = good thing. Great video..........
Sounds like you have a sensor power or ground issue, I would probe the sensor harnesses for voltage
Highly unlikely that someone sprayed Fluid Film in the area of the hood struts. Corvettes in the Northeast don't need undercoating. There are very few owners that would drive their Vette in the snow or on wet salty roads.
I was never really a fan of the C5 but this one is amazing !
Can you explain the benefits of having a de-cat vehicle and what environmental damage are you doing by running it without the cats fitted plz ?
Thx Greta Thunberg
The hyper flashing is due to the LED lights. You need the special flasher that adds resistance to the electrical system
Hahaha love the Doug DeMuro inspired thumbnail
That car looks very familiar. I wonder if it's one I use to see all the time in NJ? If it is, the original owner is very much a Corvette person.
I was so excited for a half second you guys were finally going to do my idea of the VinWiki style of "what each others fleets are worth" series together. Instead, its win a Corvette. Oh well, I needed a new coffee cup too anyways.
Ha! I didn't realize Jake was on the board in that group shot and couldn't figure out why he was so tall.
Don’t stop… a lot of other people love this content!
Love the T-shirt! Ya know the "Not like one of these" types. 🤣🤣
The DRL lights are super easy to do. Takes less than 5 min to do them.
Notification gang. Usually get em at night watch em the next morning

Would like to see you turn one of those C5s into a factory 5 GTM build.
This is my favorite spec c5. Well done
I would enter but no point since I am Canadian this is only open to US residents.. Good luck to the rest of the fans in the US.
Damn, Lotta new cars in the fleet but it's a sweet looking car, and we can win it when you're done. Watching now 👍
Yes, and you get to purchase a $50+ coffee mug just for entering😮. I guess that it’s really your raffle ticket.

I had a 1965 Corvette in my 20s, might be nice to get a replacement 40 years later.
Good Evening John Ross
Oh, hell yeah. It would be my pleasure to support you!
Mug....secured. C'mon Z06. Short trip back to Colorado
❤ she’s perfect ! Love the exhaust setup.
That’s Competition Yellow to you young man
Hello JR. What are your plans for the jaguar and the H3 ? Not to mention the Electric oddity? Follow the link as I type ❤
I enter the contest bought the mug it showed a cost of 49 dollars but I was billed 56 dollars . You need to look into the company you have team up with to sell the tickets their appears to be a problem
the passenger yellow running light is out on the vette
If I could only drive a manual. Sadly, major issues with my left leg keep me from owning such a fun car. Good luck to everyone entering!
Get a cts v2 you’ll be happy even with a auto
Is there a cut off for the number of entries or people who can enter the drawing or is it unlimited?
I imagine you can buy as many $50 coffee mugs as you like
Is it just the cup or other merch good on the entry to win ?
Officially Corvette Sunflower Yellow
in Ohio they only check cars that are less than 25 years old for E-Checks. They do make sure you have CATS but once you hit the 25 year mark no one is looking to see if you have a CAT or even a Muffler.
Wondering what type of traction the Z06 would get in a Minnesota winter?
I don't think they make a studded snow tire for this. Without Snow tires, probably not good!
Those could be replacement hood struts !
He’s in denial that he’s bought a car WITHOUT failed hood struts….
Awesome video thank you
Just because it's a giveaway, doesn't mean you don't have a problem 🤣 it's a problem we'd all love to have, mind you...
I think one of your turn signals are blown

Hello JR Cool Ride
Column lock bypass. eBay $50, must have for any c5
Can people outside the USA enter the contest? (Canada)

I have that same T-shirt. Blipshift FTW!
So are over 10 year old tires considered dangerous/bad if they're in good condition and have no dry rot or anything?

Couple bottles of Techron through the gas tank. Common C5 issue.
Will delivery to the winner be included?
Jake with the mug flip :)
You got a sweet deal man. What was the last well cared for ànd maintained car you you bought? Can you remember?
Well I missed the deadline for the giveaway but did anyone else notice you are wearing the wrong era corvette hat for the C5?
LMAO Loved the rips on your fellow RUclipsrs
I’m thinking lift it and gamble it in April 😉
Oh that car is coming soon 😂
