It's a shame you couldn't have told Speedy Racer he had his butt wiped by a 300,000 mile Corvette that you just bought from a chicken farmer in Florida. Fantastic videos and it shows just how wonderful car people are for helping fellow car people. When Mike looks like he's not having a great time you know the problem is serious. Big Al's bike and Auto are now on my must watch list and on many others I'm sure. Thank you.

[@zachmilberger]

Hey Randy, just a shot in the dark, but it could be possible that at the higher speed the water in the trans fluid gained enough heat to start boiling and built pressure to push out the dip stick. Hopefully all is well! Love the channel and keep up the good work!

[@scottcol23]

Randy, I love these cross-country adventures you have been doing lately. that hour flew by too fast. You and Mike are hilarious together! Keep up the great work. And I hope to see more adventures soon. Cheers from New Orleans.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

That was an awesome video! I can't believe both cars made it, especially that Allante with the strawberry milkshake transmission. CRAZY! Throw in COVID and some late night wrenching sessions too. Holy crap! That was an adventure for sure! Well done! I'm looking to see some videos on the Allante going forward. Service the tranny, get the shifter working properly, and get those windows to work and it will be a cool cruiser! That really is a nice looking car.

[@ben6119]

Its crazy that the Allante made it all the way after how flooded it was. Corvettes have been great highway cars for a long time. They will do ~30 mpg with a manual trans.

[@SupremeKid98]

[@scottcol23]

You really hit a lick on that Caddy! She is beautiful, the interior is perfect and so is the engine bay. Its only got 38K miles on it, you can sell that someone really loved that car. I hope we get to see it for a while on the channel. Hopefully the Corvette just has a leaky valve cover but my guess is that the rear main seal is going out seeing that it has tons of miles on it. 10w30 is good for a high mileage LS btw.

[@timmystimmer537]

Randy I believe I seen oil dripping off the oil filter on the corvette, around 34 minutes! Infact i almost missed it ! But seeing your home you may have already figured that out!Hope that helps! Love watching your content sir!

Big Al is a great guy. I have been subbed to him at least as long as you, Randy.

[@micahhill4786]

10:29 my guess is when you flush the transmission fluid out until it’s completely red. The trans cooler inside the radiator still had the water base transmission fluid in it. You be amazed how much transmission fluid is in the cooler side of radiator to. It’s almost a full quart of it.

[@shannongray3662]

Just to know about the Corvette when you was taking a look underneath for the leak take a look at the oil filter that's where it was dripping.

[@CR7659]

I'm not too surprised they made it. I once took a $700 120K '91 Chevy Van on two 2500 mile road trips in two years, from NY to SC and back. The only trouble I had was I had a tire develop a bulge and pull to one side so I swapped the fronts to the back and vice versa. GM stuff is pretty good.

[@billstreber5194]

I was also a small dealership used cars and here in New York you had to have the registration with that plate so they don't emboss the plates here anymore it's flat so I used to put the registration right on the back of the plate cover it with clear tape I know Oklahoma isn't as strict as here plates are very expensive so is the insurance

[@tigerstripeeyes9871]

The transmission fluid is overflowing because water/coolant from the radiator is most likely leaking into the transmission via the radiator's transmission cooler. Try bypassing the "built-in" transmission cooler in the Allante's radiator and use an external cooler instead. Those internal coolers absolutely SUCK!! You should use an external transmission cooler on ANY vehicle with an automatic transmission due to high pressure from the coolant in the radiator forcing its way into the lower pressure transmission cooler via small cracks/fractures from the cooler's welds as a result of thousands of heat expansion/contraction cycles. A transmission repair shop owner once told me that 75-80% of all transmissions that he had to repair/rebuild had significant amounts of water/antifreeze/coolant mixture inside of the transmission's fluid, which is what caused the damage. So, EVERYBODY with an automatic transmission should go to their mechanics and have them install an external transmission cooler immediately in order to avoid unnecessary damage to their expensive transmissions. I am currently dealing with the same issue on my recently acquired 1977 Airstream Argosy motorhome with a 454 Chevy motor & Turbo Hydramatic 475 automatic transmission. When I put it into gear, the transmission slipped and the vehicle revved but would not move, like what happened to you. As I took the transmission's pan down to see what was going on, all that came out was CLEAR WATER!! Barely any transmission fluid came out either... needless to say, I was NOT a happy camper! Funny thing is, I had already purchased a heavy-duty "B&M" plate-on-plate external transmission cooler with AN fittings specifically for the vehicle before this even happened.

[@markp2865]

You could try hooking 12V directly to the window motors to see if you could raise the window. The flood may have just affected the window switches on the Allante. Glad you made it back!

Before you replace all the seals and gaskets on the Corvette check out "AT 205 Reseal"...Scotty Kilmer recommended and I tried it on a 2000 Chrysler Town And Country minivan that leaked 5 quarts a week...Within a week it absolutely quit leaking...so for $25 the Valdez quit leaking....Available on eBay or Amazon
