Hey was wandering how your gas tank was working. I had to do mine. So took it to a shop to clean and coat. They of course told me that new tanks don't last 6 months. But I think they were just telling me that.

Ok, buddy good video for people that has never changed one,but I do have a question, if the blue is the input ( a.k.a. pressure side) and its off no water in the tank, how does the output side red have pressure? Good video tho for younger viewers
@essigspeed 3 күн бұрын
I'm scratching my head on this one. If there is no water in the tank, I don't see how either side could have pressure unless it was shipped with air in it. I always thought they shipped them in a vacuum to keep out moisture. Now, if you are talking about cracking it loose to let it drain, that is like holding your finger over a straw with water in it and the water will stay in it until you remove your finger or, in this case, relieve the pressure/vacuum. However, either, way there would have to be water in the tank, so I am clueless. Hey, one for the younger viewers, Yippie! Now back to cars/trucks...

Can't see anything, not nothing. There is a manual door latch on the sides of the seats by the power seat buttons on the floor. Just lift them up to exit the car in an emergency. The Z51 is the performance suspension. The box on the top of the windshield is for the cell phone , GPS antenna and the on star system. The smoked glass plastic item is a wind deflector that attaches to the top of the windshield. The engine is an LS2 400 hp base engine.

I would respectfully suggest that if you're going to post videos on KZbin that you develop a thicker skin. Should your channel grow to the point where your videos are regularly generating thousands of views, you will undoubtedly receive many more comments than you currently receive and some of them whether deservedly so or not will be more critical than others. None the less, since my previous comment seems to upset you, I have deleted it.

I do not get offended easily at all and trust me after nearly 20-yeaers in law enforcement, my skin is plenty thick. Your knowledge was awesome and great for my viewers, I just joked it off. Thats the problem with text, you can't hear the laughter and joke in the comment. My English is quite good if I want it to be, but slang is comfortable. I actually have a bachelor's degree and near genius mechanical ability. I just choose to keep things fun and comfortable for all crowds. I realize Corvette, Porsche, and Mercedes enthusiast are a bit of a different crowd than the average hot rod guy like me, but I love all cars and all classes of people, so I am just me. I hope you enjoyed the video, L52 and all, LOL. Please put your comment back on, all comments are welcome and yours was quite true, and your information was awesome.

Yes and no. The pressure in the can will push it into the system and the vacuum will help pull it in until the pressures equalize and/or the compressor turns on.

Aspen or Dart sport, duster, demon , call it what you want those floor pans and trunk pans will fit even if you have to trim them a bit. Use you imagination a little. Now the trim parts can be a issue but even those can be worked and restored to make it a perfect driver to have fun in as a hot rod. I have used front fenders to fix rear quarter panels and after paint no one could tell what i did.

I also have an 07 and for some reason mine won’t crank I thought it was the head gasket but now that I’m doing more research I don’t think it is and was talking about selling it dude I happened to be trying to sell it to is a mechanic and said it shouldn’t be the head gasket then so now I’m just lost and confused
@essigspeed Ай бұрын
Wont crank or will crank but not start? Won't start is usually a lack of fuel or spark. Wont crank is usually starter, relays, or switches. Is it throwing a code/check engine light? If so, most auto parts stores will scan it free, or you might can buy a cheap scanner for under $100.00. I have let the dealer diagnose vehicles for me and then I take it home to fix it.

We will see how long this one lasts.
