เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2013
The third gen Camaro's are from 1982-1992. Many of these video will also work for the third gen Firebirds as well.
Primarily this channel is about the repair, maintenance and modifications of 3rd gen Camaro's.
Topics include LS Swap, 383 Stroker Builds, LED Conversion, Suspension and other modifications, tricks, tips and projects that I'm working on in my workshop.
We will also post other how to Video's for other cars and trucks if I do a repair that I can't find an existing video for.
At times a technology video, such as building computers, installing radios, speakers, amps, home media servers, etc. could be posted.

Just saved me a $1000 thanks sir!
Glad I could help!
Great video! I wish I did a few things differently… I would’ve put cardboard down on the stationary panel so it doesn’t get scratched by the metal like mine did! (Common sense though.) The track can be lubed after installation and cleaning/ lubing the panel should be done when removed like he had mentioned.! 4’ ladder and a magnet definitely came in handy! Great video! Don’t be afraid to tackle it!
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks
just purchased a 2018 f450 limited and noticed the sunroof would vent but not open, this explained and showe dme everything i needed to know. perfect! thanks!
Glad it helped
Great video, thank you very much for taking the time to make our lives easier, you rock!
My pleasure!
Thank you for doing this.
My pleasure!
Too bad mine wasn’t that easy, the piece that attaches to those arms in the track broke, so now I have no idea what to do
Without a picture, hard for me to say, sorry.
Wow. Nice shop and great job.
Thanks.
Oddly for my 22 f450 the initialization won’t work, are you certain this works on the 22’s?
There was a tweak mid year to it. Works on some, not others unfortunately.
Great video! Would it matter if the sway bar links were torqued to spec while the wheels are on the ground or should the suspension be at full extension while tightening the links to torque spec?
For the swaybar the suspension doesn't need to be under load, but it won't hurt if you want to validate that the bolts haven't loosened and are still set at the proper torque specs. Anytime I deal with any part of the suspension or roll control systems I like to double check. For control arms and panhard bars, you will want to hit the bolts with the torque wrench under load.
I’ve done this twice on my 2017 F250. One suggestion, before installing the glass back into the truck, clean/lubricate the rubber seal around the glass and also clean the edge of the opening.
Good tip
Very informative video, shows all the steps to repair and replace sunroof track and re-programing
Thanks
How is there not a TSB warranty for this yet?
There should be a recall. And they should change to aluminum or carbon fiber for these parts. The plastic is such a bad design.
I guess I lucked up,,,,Mine popped and froze up last week...Took in to the dealer monday and was ready today...i had the ford premium esp...I only had to pay the 100 deductable. When I dropped it off monday the service writer said he wasnt sure if the esp will cover it, depends on problem...according to my ticket they replaced a guide and a shield, cost of right at 300..after reading all of these horror stories I feel very lucky...he also said he has seen many glass portions shatter on their on....
Yeah, the ESP cover a lot.
No popping noises but the sunroof wont open for me after doing this. It tries to go back but doesnt. Any advice?
Did you complete the reprogramming?
@3rdgenworkshop yes. It looks like it's the lower arm that's also broken so I guess that means I need a new track.
If it's to loud... you're too old😅 question. still building '87 g-body with 3" lowering umi suspension, what type grease are you using on your set up?
lol, I enjoy a deep rumble v/s too loud. Like my hearing. As far as grease, I'm using Mobile 1 sync..
Hey look what magically appeared at the 22:40 min. mark! Pretty sly dude. Lol My first rear shock change, couldn't figure out where that darn shock nut was.😂 Are those KYB's adjustable?
The KYB's I'm running on this car are not adjustable. The ones on my 92 will be when I change those out.
All due respect, using an impact on those bolts eliminates the struggle of using the ratchet. Been using an impact for over 45 years never had a problem. If you've got a link available id like to reach out. Thanks for the Great vids.
Yeah, I've used impacts on them. I've found that it will over torque, and while somethings that fine, other parts on the suspension it can cause wear in places you don't want. Thanks for the comments.
Good to see another 3rd gen enthusiast, I too have always used rubber caps at the grease points. (Thought that was my invention) lol. Just installed the KYB's in my '90. I'll stay away from the moog. Too bad they used to be some of the best back in the day. I guess it's all a gamble now adaze. Great show. Peace out from N. Il.
Yeah, Moog used to be rock solid. Last few times I've purchased them its been hit or miss on the quality. I've switched to ProForge for anything I'm doing moving forward. Much better quality.
Is it necessary to have it in the vent position to do this? Mine won't popup to that position.
Never mind, I see you answered this previously.
hope it helped
LS swaps lets go!!!!!
coming later this winter on my 92 Z28.
Moog parts are trash 🗑 Great content!! I bought 85 iroc last year gonna do the ls swap. Love 3rd gen camaro content and anything ls related
There quality has gone down hill the last few years. Been using proforge more and more.
Can you use the factory engine with this kit, or is it for LS setup only?
Yes. When you order it, you select which motor mounts you need. Works with the original small block motors, or select the mounts for the LS.
I watched your video and replaced my tracks now it seems like my tracks aren’t lining up
They might require slight adjustment forward or rear. Also, make sure you have them on the right side.
I saw another YT video. Apparently have to loosen the motor in headliner. Reset the guides in the tracks. Tighten motor back down and resycronize. I guess it’s a common thing when replacing the tracks
I’ve watched all the videos on the Camaro Terrific videos!!! I just spent the last 2 years building a 1992 Camaro I bought 3 years ago. My car was a Nevada car so it was rust free I stripped it down and threw everything away I put a 6 liter LS 5 5 speed using the Fabbot conversion bill it adapter plate I studied and planned out what I wanted to do with my Camaro Yesterday I took it to its first cars and coffee It was cool!! I still have a few major items to take care or but IT’s turned out to be a nice ride! Thank you for the videos
That is awesome man. I bet the LS motor really woke that car up. Thanks for the comments.
Looking forward to your videos.
Thanks. Two more getting posted in Sept. Just finished up the editing last night.
Great info but I wish it was not sped up so much so I could follow along better.
Yeah, it's a balancing act. Some viewers want to fast forward through the wrenching and others want to see it. I try to do both, but keep the video's shorter so it takes less of peoples time to watch.
Vids are great
good luck and successful projects and activities. I finally started restaurations with the Thirdgens myself and bought already four of them within this year, first one went back to the dealer but still have the other three. go hard or go home!
Thanks. Best of luck on your projects.
i have a 94, it looks like exactly the same set up. I know much of the third gens were carried over. I was told GM originally planned on ending production in 97 so they did little to upgrade the 4th gen besides the lt1
Most things on the 4th gen 1993-2002 will bolt right up to the third. Swaybars are different, and the dash, but most mechanical stuff will swap right in. A lot of folks will pull the 4th gen rear differential, brakes and lines to convert to 4 wheel disc.
With an LS1 on the tubular cross memeber do you still need to relocate the compressor?
I don't believe you need to relocate it. If you have a factory K-Member, you have to notch it, I believe you are OK on the tubular as it doesn't stick out. The guys at UMI can tell you for sure. However, I would still relocate it to the top passenger side as all the stock lines are designed to to there. Several places make a relocation bracket for cheap to do that. I'm planning on running my on the top once I drop the motor in.
Great video what nav system is that ? would love it for mine
NAT-TV 50. I have a different video just on that system.
Thanks for the video, my opened but then didn't close, seeing your video and star working on it, yeah broken pieces there. Parts in order. By any chance do you know how to fix bliss light not working on the mirror 😂
If the BLISS light isn't working it could be several things. 1. Fuse, 2. Camera not aligned, 3. Camera foggy and it's not seeing the road, 4. Sensor in the tail light needs replaced, 5. Wire has come disconnected, 6 It's bad. Those are the things I would look at.
You just saved me $1,000 repair bill at the local Ford dealer. Thank you Sir.
Glad to help
Great video. Do you know if i can get to the 6 window screws and properly replace the rails in the closed position? My roof is stuck in the closed position including the sunshade closes half way and stops. At this point the reset programing wont even budge the roof. Whats the advantage of placing the roof glass in the vent position. I just ordered my rails from sunroof doctor. TIA
You can get to them, it's just more difficult. In the vented position, it gives you the extra about 1/2" to get to the screws.
You don't have to take the mirror completely off. Towards the front of the truck, near the door, you can just use a thin flat head and pop that one side off, the just remove it by pulling it towards the truck door. Took me 2 minutes to change each.
Sure, I took it off to make is easier to change and to so the video.
Just saved $3000 CDN by watching this video. $3000!!!!! They the stealer wanted to charge me for these 2 plastic tracks some wicket… thanks
So welcome. Glad it helped.
if the music can be quiter in the future that would be great.
newer videos I've turned it down. I might go back and re-edit some of these.
i would have used rust converter and painted the diff black to match the new parts...
Normally I would. This diff will be getting dropped in a few months to be rebuilt and powder coated. Great suggestion.
Awesome video 👍👍👍
Thank you
I have a camera that went dead lens kind of looks like your did you have any fail like that?
All of mine fogged v/s dead.
I took the camera out that stopped working on driver side and plugged into passenger side and it worked. So I guess now have to test that cable. Just not sure where the cable routes to.
Thank you so much for this video. VERY helpful. I managed to fix mine today with little to no trouble. You rock!
Glad it helped.
Mine are not broke. I did order the grease for the sunroof per the TSB. I also ordered the silicone grease will I be able to grease the tracks with out taking the tracks out? My tracks are fine I just want to put some more grease on them.
Yes, just use a glove, and use your fingers to work it in the track. They need to be maintained every so often.
@@3rdgenworkshop thank you sir!
Awesome video👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
The plastic guide rails that you have to slide it out of - can you order those? Looks like the slide in the very rear channel. I’m afraid I screwed mine up so bad I need a whole new sunroof
My difference is I couldn’t get it to the center position to do the repair. I think I’m going to have to cut the old arms off because I can’t get it anywhere near where I can get the pin to the hole to slide it out.
I ordered everything I needed from sunroof doctor. However, there are some parts that are OEM only. I believe on some models there is a back stop. If that broke, and the rails slid to far back, the only why to fix it is to remove the whole assembly. That is a much bigger job as the head liner has to come out, and you will need to people to remove and install a new one.
Rails, you mean the plastic piece I’m referring to correct? Do you know the part number for the whole assembly? I’m checking various places and I see it as discontinued.
I don't, but you should be able to find it here: www.fordpartsgiant.com/
How can you manually close if it won't close all the way prior to repair? I ordered the parts, but the passenger side won't close all the way despite me pushing as I push the button to close. Just tarp it and wait and do the repair?
It depends on where it broken. Several people will have one person push the button while a second moves the glass into position. You might have to remove broken sections of the track to free the space as something might be blocking it. Without seeing it, hard to give you better instructions. Placing a barrier like a tarp or plastic might be your only option if you can't clear the track of any damaged parts.
@@3rdgenworkshop The plastic guide rails where the back end of it has the metal clip to hold up the drip channel - my tracks got stuck back and I eventually got them forward but I noticed the back of the rail (where it holds that clip) had come out of the track when it got stuck all the way back and now that it is forward, it's above the track. If I get everything cleared, do you know if it is possible to move the (empty) sunroof to the open position again and get that thing past the track and down so when I come forward, it goes back in the channel? I feel like I made it worse and I can't find those plastic parts on their own, I only see having to get a whole new frame and they all show as discontinued.
What's the name of the spring compressor tool. Along with the part # and were did you get it from ? Love your 3rd gen content got a 92 Camaro rs that I'm put a Ls1 / 4l60E that I swapping in.
Thanks for the comments. More video's coming very shortly. Here is the tool I used for this video. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JKDCZV5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a black 92 Z28 in another video that I just swapped the torque arm out on. Later this summer it that ride will be getting an LS2 bored over .30 with a stroker crank paired with an 4L70E that I just had rebuilt. Love the power an LS gives these cars.
@3rdgenworkshop MAN YOU WOULD LOVE MY MEDIUM QUASAR METALIC BLUE 92 ANIVERSREY CAMARO Z28 THAT I ORDERED NEW BACK IN 92 AND JUST 19 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST.
Nice work! How did you remove the spring compressor if the bolt hex was at the top? Having done this a few times, I've always gone through the bottom. I ended cutting the bolt on the spring compressor. I can't picture how you did it and I was waiting for it in the video, but it's edited out. Thanks.
I just used a part of wrenches to loosing it until the control arm and the upper housing mount had the tension. Then the forks and clamps loosen. I remove them from the bolt, and then dropped the bolt out from the bottom of the control arm.
@@3rdgenworkshop Great Thanks! I'm not sure if it would work with the original crossmember. I'll try it one day.
It should. I did it on my 92 Z28. Factory K-Member with Detroit Speed Control arms. Worked fine.
@@3rdgenworkshop Great Thanks!
With only 2 wires that first light you tested would probably turn on if you reversed the wires to the battery.
True.
That's awesome 👍👍👍
Glad it helped.
Just replaced one of these on a 2017, you dont need to remove the mirror, you can pry the corner of the plastic cap, the corner closest to the door and get it to pop off, then just the two phillips screws and you're golden.
Yes true. I've seen people break them doing that. This way is a little safer.
