Nice video. The hitch looks very good, seems to fit well, but I really don't see the use or need for the top hitch point? So I have to ask, what is the intent or purpose of it?
@kebo57 the top hitch point gives the flexibility to install a hitch ball to be able to move a utility trailer without having to use a vehicle. Thank you for your question and for watching the video!!
Thanks for the video - helped a ton with fixing my E02 error code.
Thank you for the video. I followed the video but finally refilled the spa and I am still getting the E02 error. Do you have any other suggestions?
Glad you got everything all fixed!
Thank you. I got my working now
Lucky you because in Texas nothing is free 😢😢😢
@@philliphall5198 got really lucky with this one without a doubt!! Thanks for checking out the video.
thank you for taking time to make this video. very helpful . I don't know if I am going to attempt to do this myself , never done anything quite like this before. However it goes I will be watching this step by step . 😊
I have been working on lawn equipment for over 65 years- you are doing a good job- save the old spark plugs- they are better than the new ones- I have 2 pieces of equipment- over 45 years old-original plugs- start 2nd pull
@@armyvet4081 saving the old plug is a great idea!! Thank you for that tip and for checking out the video.

Thank you for clarifying!! I finally did get it right later in the video :) Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video and link to the parts! It worked perfectly
Thank you for the feedback Tammy, glad you found the video helpful!!
My pump is working but my heater isn’t! Was it just your pump?
@monamarshall8769 yes just my pump wasn't working. The heater is separate from the pump. Thank you for watching!!
U put a basketball air needle on the end blow gun to go in all little holes
That is a great tip!! Thank you I'll use this in future repairs for sure.
First thing is to listen for the click of fuel solenoid when turn key if u do not hear that it will not run
A great diagnostic tip for sure!! Thank you for sharing.
Man you found a great deal on that one, why can't I ever find a deal like that lol..i have a 2003 Troy Built its been a great mower. Good luck. 😊
I'm convinced that finds like this one don't come along very often. Thanks for your feedback and for checking out the video!!
The oem ccv filter did you modify it or just not put one in?
nice video uncle Jeff!!!
Nice Video!!!
Shut the heck up and just do it!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm still very new to CZcams and learning as I go along.
It looks like Eibach springs. Bilstein shocks were optional on the SLP fbodies.
Thank you for the info!! Can you tell by the part number if they are factory height or lowering springs?
Thanks for sharing. I've owned fourth gen Firebirds for 23 years. I currently have 3 and still absolutely love them.
Thank you for checking out the video and leaving a comment - I really appreciate it!!
Heard guys were having pressure issues with that little filter you screwed in on top. Have you noticed any oil coming out of dip stick? Your supposed to cut the ccv case too? Just gathering info here myself, something I'd like to do.
Hello Robert and thank you for checking out my video. I haven't had any issues at all so far with pressure issues. As for cutting the CCV case I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to, could you provide some clarification? Thanks again.
@@TheRetiredGuysGarage if you search for some ccv delete videos you'll see a few guys mentioning cutting some slots in the filter case so the pressure doesn't blow out the seals. Then again, there's always a few ways to skin a cat.
Rock on!!!! Love you jeffffums !!!
Nice job on giving us a little look into what y’all want to do. Good luck love the name of the page.
Did adding the breather and removing that line solve the exhaust brake problem? Did you leave any hose on the turbo where the ccv hose runs from factory? How did you block it at the turbo end ?
Yes it did resolve the exhaust brake issue. I left about a 10" piece of hose on the turbo side and put the plug that came with the original CCV delete kit back in the end of the hose.
