My brother and I came up with the idea for this channel while my wife was giving me a hard time about wanting to build a kegerator. I wanted to put one in our basement so it's handy while doing "crafts" (which is what my wife calls my projects).
This channel will document various projects and various beers. I'm not a master of anything, and will probably do a lot of things the "wrong" way, but I'll have fun doing it and will probably fail in entertaining ways.
I have two brothers that are both very handy and trying their hand at woodworking so, hopefully, I can drag them into the channel as well. The brother that brainstormed this idea with me will probably just be along for beer support. He works for a big beer distributor in Upstate NY so, hopefully, I can get my hands on some good stuff.

How to Easily Replace the Fuel Pump in Your C4 Corvette
มุมมอง 84หลายเดือนก่อน
Running rough? Hard to start? It could be a bad fuel pump! Let me show you how easy it is to change the fuel pump in your C4 Corvette. Mine is a 1994 but should be similar across all years of C4.

Should I Turn This Subaru Outback Into a Gambler?

Should I Turn This Subaru Outback Into a Gambler?
Subaru is covering the replacement of front brake “juddering” problems. They replaced the rotors, calipers and pads at no charge; a design flaw that caused rotors to warp.
Yeah, I got that notice in the mail. That wasn’t an option 3 years ago 😁
@@CarsCraftsDrafts Good video, enjoyed it. That notice from Subaru I believe provides for reimbursement of repair costs that may have been done to fix it as well. Thanks
Where did you find a pke? All the ones I have seen for sale are broke and they still want 300-600 dollars each
I got mine on eBay. I got lucky, I paid a little less than what most are asking bc the guy wasn’t sure if it worked.
Is it the same for both sides? I have a 2005 2500 and both sides are leaking so wondering if the same seal will work on both sides?
I only changed the driver side, but I do believe it’s the same seal.
question for you. You said when you get on the brakes aggressively you get a wha wha wha we have the same car, and I feel the same way. Did changing the brakes help with that at all? Great video great information.
I’d say changing the pads helped with 80% of the issue. New rotors probably would have eliminated it all together, but I was happy with the results.
Cool
Not as functional as the other light, but looks pretty neat.
That's awesome. Thank you for the video. Should've come like that from the factory.
Yeah, they definitely missed the mark here. Thankfully this is a breeze to install.
Nice tip
Thanks for the easy to follow video. It’s on my to do list now that winter is approaching and it get so dark
It’s so easy to do!
Will these effect how it runs n drives is it safe to drive with these code need to do the same on mines
I ran with the code for years before I decided to do something about it (bc I was selling the truck and wanted the CEL off). It ran fine the whole time.
After having the car battery replaced, I was having issues. This process worked for me. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad this helped!
Thanks so much for this video!! It’s a life and $$$ saver! Took my 2020 Subaru Ascent to the dealer yesterday due to some clicking sounds, was told needed to replace brakes and it was going to cost me $1525 for all 4, I said no thank you will figure it out.
Right on! Glad to hear it!
Wish In had of come accross this last year. Could have saved a bunch. Learn from your mistakes.
The positive is that, even if you wind up chasing the problem like I did, all the parts are cheap.
Always put your gas cap back on ASAP to avoid dropping something into the tank! Maybe a difference in your C4 and my 86, I barely get any fuel spillage when doing this. I don't remove any other fuel connections, so there's a suction action going on and it doesn't drain out, perhaps? Might as well replace the intank fuel screen on the fuel pump at the same time. Also have a fire extinguisher readily available, just in case. And while you have that gas cap trim removed, time to clean that up a bit!
I think the earlier C4s like yours have the filter in a much better location. If I didn’t have to contort myself to get up there, I would have been able to do it with minimal spillage. I replaced the fuel pump at the same time. Not the whole unit, just the pump itself and new sock. I just haven’t edited that footage yet. So easy to change that out on this car. Much better than cutting a trap door into the bed of a pickup truck to avoid dropping the tank!
A lot easier to change fuel pump than fuel filter on these. What year is your C4? My 95 has the same color interior as yours but the paint is maroon
100%! I did the fuel pump as well, that was a breeze. Easiest access out of all the cars I’ve worked on. This is a ‘94 with 125k miles.
@@CarsCraftsDrafts 94-96 are great years for these cars.
The fuel filter fitting size is 20mm.
I figured. One of the sizes that walked away 🤦♂️
Just did this on an 87. I can confirm it's a 20mm.
Thank you. I have to do the brakes on my 2020 Ascent and I hate to run into the "Gotchas" when doing brakes on a car I've never worked on before. This helps a lot.
Get a proper parking brake winding tool instead of doing it half-assed like I did! They’re cheap on Amazon. That’s the only thing in the video that I’d go back and change.
Do you know what gauge wires these are? I want to order the proper 12v outlet. Great find! Thanks for posting!
I don’t recall, but if I had to guess I’d say 16ga.
@@CarsCraftsDrafts I posted on the forum as well today and I believe 16 is right on the money. Thank you for the reply!
Thank you my fob battery died and I had to reprogram it with your help it all works fine
Glad it helped!
How did you get it open to replace the battery? I don't want to break anything.
Thank you for making and sharing the video. It was very helpful. I appreciate it. It's nice when you find a cold beer like this.. 😁
A cold one always helps!
Great video Sir. Much appreciated 🫡
Thank you!
Thank you. Great video and instruction.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Use IPA to clean the PCB AND the carbon rubber pads. Someone probably spilled a drink and seeped in there. Car looks in great shape!
Is that 5 pin wire connection for automotive use only? I couldn’t find any 110v. Thanks! Nice build! 25:31
Sorry, just saw this! Yes, those are Weatherpack connectors. I had a box leftover from when I used to upfit plow trucks. I figured waterproof would be good to use inside the freezer.
Nice ride, can't beat a C4 for price/ fun ratio. Fun cars, I own a 1990 ZR-1, cool ole ride. I need to fix my b hvac controller also .
Thanks for the post. This is my second '94. She came with two FOBs (1 factory/1 aftermarket). Only the aftermarket was working when I bought the car a few months ago. I just put fresh batteries in and tried reprogramming both. Could not get a solid light on PKE at the end of sync for either. HOWEVER, as I gave up and locked the car and walked away she chirped! I went back with both and neither would unlock OR open the doors or hatch. -----Has anyone had this experience before??
So is a 14 Alan key to remove oil cooler? Another video said it was t70
Maybe T70 will work, I don’t know off hand how large that is. But I can tell you with 100% certainty that my bolt was Allen and not Torx.
new brake pads and a new retaining pin (with a new washer and C clip) should work. those wear down first and most commonly. if it still wiggles after that, its gonna be your caliper bracket that's worn.
I was missing the brake pad clips: C4 Brake Caliper Rattle Fix th-cam.com/video/n_aCXUMCsFE/w-d-xo.html
It sounds real bad.
I put clips on mine and it still rattles. Any ideas?
If you put all the clips in, I’m not sure what else it would be.
@@CarsCraftsDrafts even tho the calipers still shake a bit it’s apparently much better than before cuz now I can’t hear them at all when I drive, so all is good. I just didn’t think they’d still have any movement after putting the clips on.
The clip is really just a spring of sorts, you’ll still get a little movement but you won’t get that clunking sound anymore because the parts aren’t knocking into each other anymore. The clips are taking out that slop. 👍
I got this code from the dash and have been experiencing intermittent loss of power/acceleration. Does that sound right? I haven’t noticed a leak
I don’t think there would be a situation where this leak shows a code. I think you have something else going on.
Thanks for showing us everything but how you get the cooler off
Disconnect the hoses and unscrew it with the big Allen key/socket I mentioned. I forgot to film that part, but you just pull it off at that point.
Thanks for this. I also have a 94 White C4. Just tried this and didn't work. New battery in the key fob too. tried 7 times and no response. interesting.
Strange. Maybe the fob is busted. When you shake the fob, you should hear something rattling inside, that’s normal. But I wonder if your board went bad or something. 🤷♂️
@@CarsCraftsDrafts Thanks for the quick reply. It turns out the Trip reset button doesn't work; so that's why I think I was unsuccessful. Thank you!
Awesome, glad you figured it out. After you fix the trip button, let me know if it works.
Thanks
👍👍
Hi there Thanks for video. Just bought these from Carid for $107.
Glad it helped 👍
This video saved me a ton of time and stress. One thing I did was push the bushing back on the piston and just used a pair of channel lock pliers to turn it so it could be depressed. I think you turn it tight, depress, turn it tight, and depress fully. WAY easier than turning it from the indentations on the front.
Yeah man, whatever works! Glad the video was a help 👍
the under hood lights have their own pigtail connector, check and see if they are unplugged! People usually disconect for car shows as to not drain the battery
I just checked it. The pigtail is connected. But I popped both lenses off and both bulbs are cracked 😅
@@CarsCraftsDrafts bingo! haha
@@CarsCraftsDrafts Put in LEDs. Those under hood halogens draw a TON of current, plus the leds will be brighter. One of the best mods I've done to my '86 is a full led replacement. I still need to find a little better white color for the cluster, but the current draw on the cluster alone went from 1.7A to 0.65A just by replacing 4 halogens (not to mention the heat damage they halogens can cause).
New pads don't get rid of glaze on the rotors
New pads got rid of 80% of the problem. Changing the rotors got rid of that last 20%. I wound up going with plain PowerStop rotors (not drilled/slotted).
So what was the problem mr.franka? Was those canisters or gas cap ? I have the problem with Chevy Silverado 2004 😢
I think it was both. After I replaced the gas cap, the light went off for quite a while. When it came back, I replaced the canister again, but this time with the upgraded version and that seemed to fix everything.
Hello, since I don't want to buy a c4 oem key fob for 700 dollars on ebay, im going to purchase a C5 keyfob for very inexpensive price. Will pairing a c5 key fob with a c4 95 vette work?
I can’t say for certain, but I’m 98% sure the C5 fob won’t work.
Cool ima order one now. I also have a 94
My front rotors had a wobble also. Dealer tried to re-surface and that fixed the problem for maybe 6 months then it started again. I ended up replacing the front rotors and the wobble is gone. I checked the tolerance on the old rotors and they were still fine. IDK what caused the wobble.
I’ve heard people say that the problem is the OEM pads, that they leave deposits on the rotors. I don’t know how true that is, but replacing the pads fixed probably 85% of my issue. It was still there, but far less common and far less noticeable. I eventually swapped the rotors out with plain PowerStop rotors (not drilled/slotted) and that got rid of the remaining issues completely.
Thanks for the advice. My truck is leaking oil into the antifreeze and a master mechanic told me to replace that first before I replace the engine.
Yeah, the inside of your cooler could be shot and letting the two mix. This is a cheap and relatively easy repair. Certainly better than swapping motors! Good luck!
@@CarsCraftsDrafts Thank you
Mine does this dunno why
You’re likely missing a set of clips. C4 Brake Caliper Rattle Fix th-cam.com/video/n_aCXUMCsFE/w-d-xo.html
Anyone have any problems with the epb since it's electronic? I was reading forums that you had to put the vehicle into service mode in order to do the rear brakes.
I was able to do this without putting the car into service mode. What you see in the video is exactly what I did. No need for a scanner.
Ok cool.
That’s crazy 😂 nice videos having the same codes on my truck
Sloop is good stuff
Any complaints with the Z23 pads? Thinking about getting the same for my Ascent
Nope, I love them. I have them on my Corvette as well.
you'll need to resurface your rotors to get rid of the "wah wah" noise.
im not sure if any of these two fixes you did is affecting me, but i changed my gas cap twice already, and it keeps saying everytime to tighten my gas cap
Thanks, never would have figured out that the caliper needed to be screwed in!
Just be sure to get the right tool for the job! It’s easier that way!
