Replacing Common FAILURE Parts on my C5 Corvette Z06

[@brentk4418]

One trick I use to open the trunk lid after pressing the trunk button is to open and then close one of the doors. The pressure from within the vehicle will push the trunk lid up enough so you're not digging your fingers into that small crevice trying to lift it up. Obviously, this works only if the windows are up on both doors.

[@JamalsGarage]

Haha yes this is what I usually do! I’m hoping some new struts at least help the problem

[@MS-mr4zm]

I thought this was standard!?!?

[@bfefishhook]

I thought all the Z's were like this....I also close the door with the windows up to open the trunk.

[@Mazak23]

Look for a can of AC Delco Super Lube. You can lube the struts and rods and it should raise the trunk lid higher when you hit the trunk release.

[@MS-mr4zm]

@@bfefishhook yeah I don’t think new struts will help

Nice to see c5 z06 content again. Appreciate your time making these videos.

[@adrianmitchell6099]

My guy, love the c5 but could you please do a strictly c5 video I guess like review/ walk around/ pov drive or something. Every video I try to watch to get good looks at it just isnt long enough, would love to see more of it.

[@MS-mr4zm]

Ecklers has good HD outer tie rods, moog good for most of the rest

[@tortuga34]

the little things add up lol. great to see the Z getting some love!

[@tchrisou812]

good stuff here imo and thanks for the info about Eckler's - I'll be checking them out

[@colemcmeans7809]

nice to have all the little things gtg. might want to put a dab of rtv on the light cover.

I've got an 04 LeMans edition convertible. So far I've replaced the HUD. The water pump. The harmonic balancer. And the oil pressure gauge. Wondering what's going to happen next. But I still love this thing.

[@JamalsGarage]

Very nice sir! The bezel around my HUD is cracked and I am not looking forward to replacing that. The whole dash has to come out from my understanding?

[@genej501]

@@JamalsGarage all the work done was at the dealership. Kind of expensive. But required. Look forward to your further adventures. Have a good day

Hey bro, just reaching out to the c5 KZbin community. I have a new product being developed and designed, and wanted to know if it's something you guys would be into. It's a c5 Corvette digital speedometer gauge cluster. As of right now, I'm only trying to achieve two different cluster displays designs. an aggressive front having a almost identical layout to the c8 and then a traditional layout... still working on designs. But would retail anywhere from 700-800 USD im trying to get prices cut down but as of right now that's where l'm at in price. I'm a small company right now just trying to see how my product will do. And if I have the c5 KZbin community along side it, we'll hopefully will grow and make more products to you guys that will modernize the car. Have many plans going forward and are hoping the KZbin community will help me go forward with it.

Man I’m debating between the C5Z or the C6GS, love the classic pop up headlights on the c5 and love the wide body of the c6GS

Great Vid Jamal 👌 waited so long for a vid 😀

[@dthor6922]

Can get your rims, tires and suspensions set up?

[@busterbrown3927]

nice bronco in the back

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I have absolutely no knowledge of Corvettes but one of my co-workers bought a brand new 2000 something model. He said that the floorboard is made of balsa wood sandwiched between metal. True or false?

[@ajcates9136]

True

[@YeOldeGeezer]

That’s done to make the car lighter

[@unknownerror5926]

have you done the ECBM, or LMC5 yet?

[@JamalsGarage]

No on the ECBM and I believe the previous owner did the LMC5
