Cheap CTS-V Gets a New Exhaust and Fully Serviced!

[@turnkeyproductions6482]

nah this channel deserves way more attention bro, better quality than half the big guys out there all you need is that one video to just take off!

That’s what I’m saying! Guy is so professional and the videos are well made. 👍🏼

I’m eyeballing an 05 with no motor in southern florida. Would love to grab it and toss a LS3 in it. Keep the videos comin brotha. You’re killin it.

[@Swaggaroni_tony]

5 grand is a steal considering the motor and trans are going for that in that mileage range. Hell yeah 💪🏽

[@danielhancock8817]

Not too sure how much I'd trust that mileage since the odometer didn't change the whole time he was driving it. But hell yeah, for the condition it's in $5k definitely isn't bad at all!

[@Trump_Won_AGAIN]

@@black7844 why??? Unless you got a forged rods and pistons engine and worked heads why would you spend 5 racks to rebuild a motor you could just buy another one for 1-2000

[@Trump_Won_AGAIN]

[@black7844]

@@Trump_Won_AGAIN A new engine for 2k? fuck no maybe in my dreams, also i didn't do any of the work, it was a full rebuild including uninstall and reinstall, Also its a aluminum L76 with a stage 2 tsp cam, I went from a stage 4 F-35 cam. Also man this is the time of covid everything is overpriced with limited stock, it got rebuilt around December of last year, which took to around feb to get it back. I could of went with LME but the turn around time was alot longer.

[@roc-da-mike]

5k?! Wow, def has to be the cheapest CTS-V find ever. To find this in running condition for that cheap is crazy! Great vid bro, cant wait for the next!

As a V1 owner myself, I'm glad there's someone covering and doing videos of this car! You deserve wayyyyy more subscribers!

Excellent stuff. This guy hits it......works, explains and doesn't bore you with picayune nonsense. Worth the watch........learn something.....take copious notes.

I’m glad you revealed the price because I watched the whole video the other day waiting for the price reveal. That’s a absolute steal

[@MysticShot]

The content is immaculate love the longer videos that cover multiple things being

[@GoinHam]

Just a personal thought, I watched both of the ctsv videos and you have the mechanical knowledge and clarity needed to have a really successful car yt channel, if you pumped out a video every week I know you'd skyrocket, which means sponsors, more adsense money, and in turn MORE TOYS. Hella potential man, earned my sub, ill check in on updates for sure.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words

[@TheRealPetoria]

Great videos bud, can’t wait for more content. You’re definitely underrated considering your production quality and content. 10/10 keep it up man! Love the V

[@imsodank1]

True!!!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words

[@duke5547]

Servo motor on the speedo. Cheap and easy fix GM had lots of problems with them and you might as well replace them all while your at it and for a fraction of the cost of a cluster replacement. Love the channel been subscribed for a while now.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Just what I needed to know. That's the first thing I'll check next. Thanks!

[@Malik-mx8st]

Thanks for this video! You’ve taught me a lot about my car. Btw to turn your speedometer on you have to hold down the button right above the (traction control) button on your steering wheel.

[@paulwells4203]

Nice buy, when you changed the diff fluid make sure to add the limited slip additive. This is from the service manual "Limited Slip Axle Lubricant Additive GM P/N 1052358"

4.86k is when I got here …subbed to see the progress of the V.

[@thatbaggedboostedsrt]

Love the longer vids, and yeah how the hell does this guy not have more subscribers!! Quality is A1

[@lorenstevens8693]

My first hot car was in early 1967. I bought a 1965 Olds 442. A terrific car. Then, about to get married, needed to be more practical and "family " oriented. Sold the 442, and bought a new GTO off the showroom floor, under $3k. (never said I was a martyr to family maintenance.)

I’m from Worcester ma ..and I know the northeast car get beat up during the winter with all that salt during the cold month glad I found your channel love the Cts V and your content keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@jigsaw3334]

Can check the idle air control valve. Pretty common in LS motors for those to give problems after a bit. If it’s causing issues “sometimes” it can give an overload on the circuit however and cause it to fry your ECU. Have had this happen on one and a QX4. Have a V3 myself. Love the OG CTS-V and it’s awesome to see them getting some love. Great find and enjoy the videos. 👌🏽

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks man!

[@danielwoods5605]

IACV is usually an issue when the vehicle is running… not to say your wrong. Just from my experience that an issue when the is ruining high idle/ inconsistent idle and stall die.

[@Officialjimibaur]

Great quality videos, glad there's still a big cts v loving community

[@jesusleal1496]

I’d say you got an excellent freakin buy! Gonna follow this build. Hopefully see some track times.

[@alternateimpact81]

I just developed a clunk from the rear end tonight on my 05 ctsv with 119000km oe 73000 miles. This was my late cousins who passed away last August. Should also mention it is supercharged as well. Thinks i have repaired so far.....water leaking in trunk lid, from bad weather seal around third brake light. Water leaking from passenger rear right door (plugged drainage holes) which flooded tbe floor area around the fuse and relay boxes, abd ratting ekectrical wires on floor pan. Constant limp mode, which i fixed by replacing throttle body from c5 Corvette, then a tps relearn. Car was running amazing until tonight with the clunk, especially from stop to 1st and reverse. Havnt even looked under the car yet, but im guessing a carrier bearimg, or u joint. Either way, itll probably need a whole new driveshaft since they are not serviceable. Fun car, but im thinking its just going to be an endless money pit.

[@ramo8070]

so enertaining watching you bring this car back to life

[@RippinGearz]

I subscribed just to see the progress of this car…. 5k is a steal!!!! It’s really disappointing how the aftermarket did not take care of the V1. Truly under appreciated cars. I had an 06 with a H/C/I LS2.

[@kevinjarmusik6189]

I own a 2006 and I had all 3 of those codes for the stability system the yaw sensor controls the g meter and it is run off the wheel hub sensors. It is under the center console and all you have to do is take off 4 bolts and pull up the back by the arm rest and it is right there. Be careful with the yaw code because it was causing my front left brake to randomly lock up on me. I unplugged it and it never did it again it’s like a 50 dollar part if you drive it again you should unplug it to be safe.

[@Ninja636RR]

[@normanperry9807]

$5k is an awesome deal that car. Someone spent way more on upgrades before you scored! And considering the performance upgrades it doesn’t seem abused, just aged. It doesn’t smoke on a cold start which is a requirement when I look at used cars. Love your work👍

couldn't start my cadillac at the pump. the next few times it happened, I swapped out the evap and boom. works. easy fix, no check lights when problem existed. so evap wears out and too much fumes seeping into the lines and engine to prevent it from running after a crank.

[@samslay3r902]

here for this build brotha loving the channel

[@Frossyt]

Chris I hate to tell you this you might want to look for a hidden toggle switch for the cluster. You drove and drove and not a single mile was registered. Check under the dash around foot area. Better yet open the fuse location and see if there is any wires where the cluster fuse is or could possibly be wired to the cluster itself. I hope it's not the case but doesn't hurt to check.

Great to see if had the diff bushing done! That carrier bearing is a Kerbid unit. Its a poly insert and really the only aftermarket unit for the 2-piece shafts. Also, I would remove that red BMR diff brace. They're known for actually breaking the diffs around those front bolts it uses.

It would be nice if we could find a way to figure out how many V1’s are left on the road. There was small production numbers and I’m sure some have wrecked…so how many are left?
