Already replaced the other side last year, it’s not my vehicle otherwise I would’ve done that in the first place.

Not a bad idea but how do you condemn the caliper or is it going to be written up so I don’t have comebacks lol

Sometimes, but the inside of the lines will degrade and cause this over time.

While this is definitely a possibility, it's not always the cause, the fittings were actually in pretty good shape.

I'm not talking about the fitting, I'm talking about the inch long steel bracket that wraps around the hose and bolts to the knuckle. It takes almost no r​ust to restrict them. Been at a shop for years and the only hoses I've known to collapse really commonly are ford escapes, although I've seen it few and far between on other makes. @@YaKnowWhatOfficial

@@jakelong1999 As a fellow mechanic, 100% this. Yes, replacing the hose also solves the issue but it's quicker and cheaper to just spread the bracket apart.

Typically if it's the hose then the rotor will free back up after a while, but if it's caliper the rotor will remain stuck until you pry it apart

😂

Well that's what it's got lol, it's been in the family for 10 years. I used to own a 2007 Malibu that racked up 420k before the torque converter gave out.

My mother has an Equinox (same vehicle, different body panels) and still running with 180K on the original engine and trans.

Nope, they are in spec. It’s normal for them to look like that in the rust belt.

He’s right about the rust belt. Depending on where in said belt you live, they can take anywhere from a few months up to a year until they look like that.

sounds like the blend door is getting stuck, or the gear is stripped out.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial , no I took it out, and it's not going, not mechanically, it's electronically not going all the way. I have no idea why and how to fix that

@@19Blackskills97 Then in that case its probably something wrong with the actual climate control unit, they are usually pretty expensive on eBay, so I would try to find one at a junkyard first. if you've already replaced that too then it beats me, these cars are known for having phantom electrical problems.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial oh, it kinda makes sense! Hmmm, thank you for the idea !

Yes it will start, these engines still utilize magneto ignition which doesn't require a battery.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial another question, why when i start mine the engine revs up super high, it doesn’t make sense

@@SupremeStreams Seems like a governor issue, I can't really give an exact cause without having the engine in front of me in person.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial thanks anyway

Yeah it’s a fun little bike, it handles surprisingly well in the twisting sandy trails of Manistee.

Yeah I’m trying to come up with something to cover it, some kind of opaque hood to protect it from branches and keep the sun off of it, the screen gets washed out by the light and is hard to read sometimes.

Collecting dust unfortunately, I think I bit off a little more than I could chew with this project.

Surprisingly enough, this is the first time I've had it fail on me, I've owned somewhere around 15 of them on different pieces of equipment, not to mention the several I've worked on for other people. guess my luck has ran out.

Youre welcome, glad it could help you.

Mine over heating once warmed completely up

Thermostat is stuck closed, cheap and easy fix.

That's basically what happened here, just make sure the enrichment jet (choke) is fully closing, and if that doesn't seem to change anything, you may just have to pull the carbs off and go through them. Check compression, should be 90 at the very least, anything under is top-end rebuild territory. Oil mix is a very hard thing to explain and understand through text, I suggest finding a video showing how to determine the mixture based on smoke and smell.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial we did compression all.good around 110 And 115 cleaned carbs she's running mint and is a blast from the past start second pull thanks for the reply

@@KirkB_ Good to hear, The Mikunis on these are very sensitive so they need to be cleaned reeeal good. I strictly run ethanol free in mine and they still eventually gum up.

They are, I grew up in a black 93 with the 3.4 DOHC, had about 250,000 miles on it when we gave it to my cousin as his first car, think it had about 270,000 by the time the transmission finally gave out.

Yep, they are damn good sleds, they sold millions, so thankfully there are still plenty of parts floating around to keep the classics running.

I just finished adding all the remaining electronics and I am working on a video for that right now, it wont be super in-depth because there are too many variables between other peoples projecs and their understanding of electronics (a safety thing, don't want to be responsible for any garage fires), but it will give a generic explanation on how things work.

@ 3:40 the object that black and purple connector goes into is the blower resistor. Should be the same on your 2000.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial thank you so much

Sorry for the late reply, but I used an adapter that connects to the factory GM radio connectors, and converts them to bare end wires that you can solder or splice to the aftermarket radio connector. I also needed the class 2 data bus interface in order to keep the door chime and other functions that were stored in the factory radio. I assume you have a 7th gen 04-08 Grand Prix like I do so here's the exact product I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XOBU4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

It's the lower steering shaft, you can find it on Rock Auto, or just search up "LARS LSC-544 steering shaft" for the exact one I installed.

As of right now, the bike is currently available at Go Power Sports for $1,149, and limited time free shipping.

They're great, I've ridden them before but never owned a minibike myself, got lots on the to do list for it.

Same here, it's the square body/bricknose of lawnmowers, always been a fan of sharp edged styling on any kind of vehicle.

@KeenKollector3 Same here! I'm very nostalgic about the 90s as well. My childhood years. I have a mint condition LT4000 that I'll never part with lol 😆

This genuinely made me laugh, I cant believe that old scam company is still running.

We will find out, It only has about an hour of run time on it.

Nice, they are decent cars, especially the 98-99 ones with the venerable 3800 V6, but they are known to have some electrical issues, this one likes to go through engine sensors.

I took it off before starting the video.

The L head I/C engines have to be one of the most reliable and indestructible small engines ever made, they don't have a lot of ponies but their incredible peak torque is still unmatched today. This mower is long gone in someone else's backyard shed now, but I still have one like it with an I/C GOLD 13hp, a nearly identical engine. Even in the longest, soaking wet grass, it doesn't even THINK about bogging down.

@@YaKnowWhatOfficial Awesome 💪🏽

That's what the exciter circuit is supposed to do, the capacitor for it was shot, and the rotor was shorted out. There was too much wrong with it to make it worth my time, so I sold the running engine for $50 and still made money off of it.

Thank you, I grew up on a 1984 model that unfortunately bit the dust in 2014, I received this 86 for free as part of a special deal, it's nice to be riding on my childhood snowmobile again.

​@@YaKnowWhatOfficialI Had one. But mine Was running on One cylinder. The carburetor was cluged. I had it.rebuilt it was runing better.

The pump has long since been replaced now, it failed catastrophically about 500 miles after putting this stuff in.
