C6 Corvette Dead Battery - What to do?
In this video I show how to access the battery on a C6 corvette when the battery dies. Normally you could just pop the hood after opening the drivers door, but if the battery is dead the driver's door no longer opens like normal.

In this video I melt down 105 Aluminum cans, plus a little bit of extra scrap I had laying around. Thanks for watching, enjoy :) I started with about 1.74kg (3.83b ) of Aluminum cans and scrap, and ended with about 1.27kg (2.8lb) of ingots. In the future I will be using the ingots for some sand casting projects.

C6 Corvette Fuel Pump Relay Bypass
zhlédnutí 19KPřed 5 lety
Attempt this fix at your own risk! Does your C6 Corvette sometimes not start but the engine turns over and you have fuel in the tank? There is a chance that your fuel pump relay has a bad electrical connection which is causing the fuel pump to fail to operate normally. In this video I share a method to alleviate this particular cause of engine failure. There are many reasons a car might not sta...
Stripped Screw Removal Trick

Here is a relatively simple way to remove a stripped out screw, particularly one on mini-quad. After dealing with the annoyance of stripping these rounded top screws that cannot be gripped with pliers or vice grips, I will be switching to screws with non rounded caps such as this kind: goo.gl/HFqHgc

Fuel Sending Unit C6 Corvette
zhlédnutí 57KPřed 6 lety
Here is a "short" video showing how to change the fuel sending unit in a C6 Corvette, specifically a 2006 automatic. After the passenger side unit began to fail a few months ago I finally got around to replacing it along with the fuel pump, but by mistake I ordered a pump for a later model year (2007-2013 I think). The effect of the wrong sending unit is that when the driver side tank was full ...
C6 Corvette Water Pump Replacement

So the other day my water pump sprung a leak, I took it to an auto shop and they quoted the job at $800. I looked up the price of the water pump on amazon and it was only about $200. I decided to give it a go and do the job myself, after a bunch of hours I was successful in my endeavors. Attempt at your own risk, working on vehicles can be dangerous and there is risk of injury as well as damage...

For such a great car (I have a 2010), this is such a shit design. Unreal.
I m still sure it is the source of my leak
Thnx fam great vid!!
How many amps and volts are the original stock alternator?
Great video short well explained and demonstrated . Thanks
Great video! Would this issue eventually cause a no start or does it just affect the gauge?
@@Salvv395 I suppose it could cause a no start if it ran all the way out of gas :] I'm not sure if the car would actually prevent cranking if it thought it had no gas
My door didn't pop that easy 😢😢😢
Like the top of the head use! Makes sense!!
:)
Great tutorial man👍🏽
From the title and thumb nail I thought I said full sending the unit c6 corvette🤣
@MiikeZ-op9xj :) Not sure what it would mean exactly, but sounds fun haha. Full send!
I have gone as far to write the company that make these mirrors trying to get parts. I hate the idea that it would cost $500 for a replacement when we only need the shell. In my research, Caddy XLR is also like the C6, The Pont. G6 convertible is also a swivel mount, (the only other to use the swivel mount) has upgraded "fingers" that hold the rotating ball that are larger and should hold up better, but ts not a exact fit. Someone needs to reproduce a shell.
Will these fit a ls3?
I’ve got a 2001 C5 and it’s an amazing car. Corvettes are just amazing cars for daily driving, and have some fun every once in a while corvettes are all around just great cars and can be good daily drivers
Thanks, bro
How much does the top weigh?
About 20 pounds
reminds me of "how to pick up a duck" and exactly what i was looking for
Thank you for that Sir.. :)
which alternator did you use and did it hold up well?
This needs to be done on my 2007 C6,because the 90 has a small Crack. The shop says that they have to remove way more parts than you did and charge me a shit ton of money! I got a lot of good information watching you perform this task. I am impressed! Great job and thank you for your video. Keep your videos coming.
the service manual does tell you to remove tha trans and stuff
Funny how no one gets into a '57 Chevy and complains about the interior but every you tuber complains about the interior of a 16 year old Vette. Its not a 2024.
You can straighten it also by clamping in a vise and attach other end to a drill snd spin it. It will straighten right out.
My dream car. And f****ing EU will destroys my dreams😢

Drew Man thanks a mil. I drive a 2000 c5 M6 Vette. As usual getting the "LOW FEUL" light w/DIC (Code :P01431), which indicates pass. side fuel sending sensor prob. On this model I was told that I could access the sending unit by un-bolting it from the tank & removing it w/o dropping the fuel tank. I was told this side has just the level sensor plus other components. Have u a vid. on doing the passenger side of the '97-'04 c5 cars? Also how do I make sure I purchase the correct fuel level sending unit/sensor for my 2000 c5 M6 vette? HELP!! Best.
Howdy, I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with a similar problem. Unfortunately, I haven't had any experience with this issue on a C5, although I would guess that there may be some similarities to the C6. As for ordering the right parts, the fourms might be able to provide some insight? Best wishes to ya!
Great work great video. Thx
Wow! I came for exactly what you just delivered. Delivered with such consideration of my time. New sub here. Thanks!
Glad to have been helpful :]
my 05 does not have problem yet, bring it on!👌😀
Thanks, the owners manual could be better...
🎉excellent instructional video. I like that intake system on the LS2.
J'aime tes vidéos car tu te mets à la portée des gens.
Hey Drew Mann, I've got a C6 2008 Automatic too. I recently installed a "Red Light Bandit" to the accelerator harness. There is a hesitation in the acceleration because of the fly by wire system from the manufacturer. The "Red Light Bandit" makes the acceleration instant and exciting. This device plugs in between the accelerator and the main harness under the dash and doesn't affect anything else. Super cool driving experience! Also, "Maguire's Headlight Coating" is a spray that slows down the UV lens hazing damage on the headlights. The Coating lasts about a year then you will need to re-apply it again after sanding off the coating from the previous year. I put some on my C6 last year and will see how long it lasts this coming year. I keep a cover on my C6 when I'm not driving it, so, that may help the lenses stay clear longer. The lenses face upward and so the UV Rays are hitting them constantly. That is what makes the lenses haze over. FYI
Thanks brother!
Great job nice and clean and well describe 👌
Excelente video y explicación, si me funcionó like y suscripción
Won't that fabric scratch it up from flapping in the wind?
It's a nice and soft fabric cover, I haven't had any issues with it
....YOU OUGHT TO USE "MONOKOTE", RATHER THAN "CHEAP"(INFERIOR) CLEAR PACKING TAPE!!
IMHO: THAT MINOR "CURVE" IS NOT AN ISSUE, IF YOU CUT A WING THAT IS THINNER THAN THE FACTORY BOARD THICKNESS!... YOU REALLY OUGHT TO USE A STRONGER SPRING, TO TENSION YOUR HOTWIRE!!!... AND, RUN ALL OF YOUR CUTS IN A VERTICAL PLANE, GOING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SLAB, TOWARD THE TOP, SO THAT THE RISING HEAT FROM THE WIRE DOES MORE CUTTING, AND SPEEDS UP THE RATE OF CUT... (WITH A BIT LESS DISTORTION), AND, NEVER USE A "FACTORY SURFACE" (CUT ALL EDGES, AROUND THE AIRFOIL)... ALSO, TURN UP THE VOLTAGE, A BIT, SO THAT THE WIRE CUTS FASTER!!... USE A THINNER (SMALLER GAUGE WIRE)... TO GET FASTER, CLEANER CUTS.
What if the trunk doesn't pop?
Very nice video. But could you have chosen a more expensive alternator link? I think not lol
Fantastic job. Ty😊
you did the work in your driveway? Amazing effort, I was afraid to do mine, but after seeing this, I will do it myself instead of going to the dealer. They would probably charge me a $!000 just to diagnose it, lol
ps . I am 67 years old so I will probably do it slowly but surely, as I have a clutch to change in my 4by 4 Tacoma next! lol
your external relay is in parallel with the existing relay circuit. so the fuel pump is still protected by the existing fuse like before.
No, it now has its own fuse that is part of the external setup
Hi. Did you have to remove the tunnel plate? Thanks!
I had to find out at a dealer that no Z06 (unless it's a c7) is targa top, I was looking for latches that didn't exist until the salesman came out and said "wrong trim" thank you both for teaching me something
Hello my friend A question.. Alternator c5 can i used on c6 ls2?
thank you for the tutorial! this help so much!
Glad to have helped, happy travels :]
From what I have heard the dealer charges about $5k to do what you did in a few hours. I have done the passenger tank sending unit on C5 before so it can be done just like you did on jack stands. You made it look very easy. Old guys like me dont move as fast as flexible as you do . This was one of the best videos I have seen on You Tube. For as young as you are you are one hell of a good mechanic. Wish my grandsons had your skills none of them have any interest in working on cars. Guess I wont be willing my Corvette to them on my passing.
Fantastic video and a great job with limited tools and lift.....
Simple as that. Thank you Chevrolet
You got exceptional knowledge, self discipline, tools, and communication skills for one so young. The product of exceptionally good parents. Where'd you find C6 compatible wheel ramps?
@@DrewMann I'm a mech E by degree, and work in the commercial nuclear power industry. What's CM? The engine mounts went bad on my 2006 Corvette, so I bought these aftermarket mounts made out of modified hockey pucks and aluminum cases. (Regretable purchase on my part.) And immediately after a shop installed them, which was about 5 or 6 months ago, I've been having trouble with my fuel tank gage working right. Maybe they buggered up the brittle wire insulation in between the fuel gauge and ECM, or maybe they buggered up the ECM, or maybe the higher conductivity of the aftermarket mounts in and of itself is buggering up my fuel gage? Well, I'm going to take it to another shop tomorrow Lord willing and see if they can fix it.
