Thanks for the tip on the Onstar! I just picked up a 2006 and am doing front & rear cameras and a radio swap for Bluetooth and the cameras. For me, having at least a rear camera and bluetooth is a must have.

There have been so many times that I wish I had a backup camera. It's weird having the back of the car so close to me in the driver's seat!

Very informative video and well presented. I have a 2007 Vette convertible which I have owned for 10yrs and I love it. I changed the exhaust to a Corsa sport also and it sounds sweet with no drone. I also changed the cabin air filter and the old one was filthy. I didn't think about the On Star fuse but I will pull it out. One thing you didn't mention is to check the harmonic balancer for wobble. It is a common problem on the LS2 and LS3 engines and can cause major problems if you ignore it.

100% right! Harmonic balancer is definitely something to watch out for.

That’s a great video! You’re on your way. I have a C8 but have had a C5. A C6 is on my list for a project car where I don’t have warranty concerns doing engine mods. Good info. Nice looking blue and tan livery as well.

I think the skip-shift was as much to do with Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) as it might have been for emissions. Automakers had to meet certain MPG requirements averaging all of their productions to hit the Fed specified CAFE mandate…nice video

I am not 100% on this, but I heard that the skip-shift idea came to fruition to avoid charging customers the gas guzzler tax. It might actually make sense because I looked up "What are the requirements to bypass a gas guzzler tax" and the result was "Combined fuel economy of at least 22.5 mpg: No tax".

Does every corvette have the on star option? I have a 2007 base model (bone stock) purchased from first owner, I’m curious if I should go looking for the fuse or base don’t have it
@smurfwithavetteАй бұрын
If you have the buttona on the mirror then you likely have OnStar. Honestly it's so easy to pull the fuse. Just go in the passenger footwell pull down the carpet closest to the engine. You just reach your hand up there grab the top of the carpet and pull towards the seat. You'll see the fuse box and the tools inside to remove the fuse. Let me know if this doesn't help.

Where did you get the LED lights?

There are many different sites you can get them from, so there could be something cheaper out there but this is what I got: www.corvettestoreonline.com/products/c6-corvette-interior-9-bulb-led-lighting-kit

hey I see you have a ls3 I just got mine like 2 months ago and completely stock I was just wondering if ls engines are all noisy like sewing machines mines a lil loud not terrible unless parked next to stuff
@smurfwithavetteАй бұрын
I would look up some KZbin videos of stock LS3 engines running. You might just be hearing normal valve noises or something. I happen to have a neighbor right now looking at a older C6 with a LS2, ironically has a similar concern with idle engine noise.
