Does anyone know of this car has an auxiliary battery?

i have a question, Can you drive this car on potholed roads?

I'm replacing my battery with the red top optima battery. My problem is the lock down bolt is missing the nut under the battery tray. Any ideas on locking down my new battery?

Nice vid, have to say though the only difference between Quinn and Pittsburgh is the paint and markings. They are the same sockets and ratchets

Magnetic socket holders are awesome. And spray adhesive to keep the black rubber liner from moving

Corvette and tundra are the best combo. 🫡 16 TRD pro and 08 Z06

The m113 doesn't normally burn oil. I also switched to 5/40 lm Green oil.

What size rims, ET, and tire sizes do you have?

Awesome videos man!

Thanks for the video. After 6yrs, two shops and lots of frustration, I’m just hearing about this issue. I pulled the batter tray and found quite a mess. Obviously somebody before me had an a big battery leak- judging by the acid staining. Oh yeah, the putty and zip tie around the CPU is a classic. My ground splice pack, by the AC condenser, is pretty crusty, too. So, at least I know where my problems live. Now we’ll start narrowing things down. Yes, many don’t have any issues. When I talk to other C5 guys at shows and cruise nights they look at me like I’m nuts. No troubles at all. The lesson I’ve learned is there are no cheap Corvettes. I took a flyer on a higher mileage car and didn’t know what I didn’t know. 🍻

Well produced 👊🏻🙏

So if you're just tossing the steering wheel out, you bust out a cutting wheel and just cut open the sections you need to access those bolts pretty easily. 10 minutes instead of an hour!

Why bolt two magnets together then run a bolt through them? Why not just bolt one?

Thanks for the video! Does the glass roof panel come out of your vehicle? I would add the recommendation to remove it if possible during the seat installation if possible. Thanks again🤟🏽

Thanks a bunch dude, pulled it off with no trouble thanks to your diy. Definitely suggest drenching the bolt with wd40. When it came loose I found wd40 in the threads so assuming it played a good part 🤷🏼‍♂️

The c55 was so underrated, I was a Benz tech when they first came out. I sometimes toy around with getting one

I love this, as a person with a project C5 and a 3D printer I am all aboard! I have found a decent amount of free files and am working on a repository or sorts, but would definitely be interested in buying some for personal use.

Thanks for the video Just ordered myself one!

Are these boxes still available from HF? Do you have a model number?

What did you get done to your exhaust I got my resonator deleted and exhaust tips. Deleted and it don’t sound like that but it does make a whistle sound

This is the exhaust system I’m going to use on my 01 convertible 😊 sounds phenomenal ❤

160,000 miles and not one issue with batteries on C5 Corvette, but I did have battery check every year!

I have had good luck with Quinn sockets. I’m glad to pay a little more for the Quinn to get the Red / Blue color band. Makes it easier when it’s time to clean up after a job. I’m a farmer and have several tractors with both Metric and SAE components so sometimes I’m using both on the same job sometimes. You were a little backwards on the 12 point 6 point observation. I never want to use 12 point unless it’s an odd part that requires a 12 point. Good job on the video.

Question was your airbag/ horn a little loose when you were done? It seems like mine has touch more of play.

I agree that an AGM battery is the correct choice but I disagree about choosing an Optima battery. Optima batteries are now made in Mexico and as a result do not offer the quality product that they once did. I suggest going with brands such as Bosch, Odyssey or Fullthrottle.

The ORIGINAL ac delco batteries were a problem, but any battery that leaks would be problematic for sure

Multi tools works great for cutting the adhesive to leave stripes and works to remove the remaining adhesive. 5 in one, and hammer comes in handy also. In the process now, for the first time on my c5 taking you method/advice on getting the body lines right. Thanks, for the info/videos,

Addimotive, here is a list for you of issues that are serious to these cars: 1. Dead Battery 2. Leaky Battery 3. Broken small part of the engine 4. Broken rear light bulbs 5. Other leaks

Hello, Addimotive, what if I DON'T fix this issue!!

Can I purchase spacers from you?

Perfect DIY tool box setup. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾

Two of my ones Pixie and Sunlight both had this issue for too long!!

I just bought one c55 amg from Copart, has a minor front crash but I will have to buy the hood, grill and a headlight. Other people fought for it I almost bought it on 5,000 but ended up wining it on 7,000, will be taking it to Mexico, I’m from Juarez and I will be paying around 10 k adding the fees, transport (bight it in Michigan), importación and fixing it. It has 85,000 miles and I’m looking to keep that baby, you did a nice video and convinced me to add an exhaust, sound great. What do you think for the price paid? There is only 1 in Mexico currently selling and it’s around 20k. Do you recomend me leaving it stock ? I think maybe it will have more value. Thanks for the video man❤

I'll take seats I'm in Florida give me $50 for the seats

I'm a launch pad technician at nasa and I approve of this setup lol

Looks great, man!! Now I need to watch much more before painting a whole car. No idea if I will go rattle can or not. Steel car not fiberglass and it will be my first restoration.

Can you drill and countersink a hole in the middle of your socket organizer strips to make pulling sockets off the middle easier?

I track my c55 - never had an issue with transmission temp. Actually never had issues with anything except the brake rotors and pads. which is a given for track cars.

Great tutorial on the issues with the C5 steering wheels. Mine didnt want to budge at all and I wound up taking it to my body shop guy. He had it for another couple days before he was able to make it break loose. He wound up drilling and tapping the wheel to use bolts and not the J-hooks. Mine was a nightmare. Glad you were able to get yours by yourself. I've never in all my years of wrenching had one this bad. 😎👍

Awesome ride, awsome sound. Thank you for slowing down behind those bycicle riders.

Used to subscribe to dirty tool box thing, mine was constantly unorganized and messy, but I more I started working in industrial setting, more realized a clean toolbox is a must especially with how much time your saving

Looks good. Mines an 03 Mil.Yellow. Need a paint job. But, instead. Having a body guy fix the bad spots and a friend and I will be wrapping it in Satin Energetic Yellow wrap.

Awesome work... In what room temperature did you use that you spray on that you got good results??

Great job. Looks great

I'd never seen your license plate before. Very fitting! Perhaps we'll cross paths someday. I'm in Oregon just over the CA / OR border.

What an accomplishment - a good job well done. 👏🇬🇧

Where did you get the wing from?

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Looks great, your videos on the C5 Are amazing. Keep up the good work!

Looks great! Nice job 🎉

Waaay too much polish!
