i like that vette, wish it was a manual though. thats a deal breaker for me
A deal breaker? You don’t own it, I do.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds hol up, let him cook
@@micahkills 🤣
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I was saying it would be for me. why do you always have to respond in such a dick manner?
The C4 with the TPI with all the low end Torque was perfect for the Automatic ,But the LS will Rev and make lots of power all the way to 6000 RPM !
I was yelling at the TV during your last video. I saw it leaking from the oil filter when you last looked under the Vette on your way home. You could see it plain as day and I was surprised you didn't see it
Yup. I knew it was just the oil filter housing before he even showed it.
@@lovellmills7959 Me as well, it even dripped off the filter when he was about looking straight at it with the camera. Staged???
Nice to see you working on your cars again. That's why I watch your channel. Thanks!
That interior looks fantastic for a 300k mile car.
Randy ignore the ones that are negative to your videos it is because they are jealous of what you have achieved keep doing what your doing love the channel 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tightening the oil filter. Take the small victories. Glad you are feeling better.
i had the same problem on my g/f's ls2 ,
but mine was a k and h filter
Randy , you are damn lucky that oil filter stays on the engine during the road trip .
great to see the leak on corvette was easily fixed and the Cadillac she,s a keeper!! Hope the vette gets that paint job it deserves it after 260000 miles.....
The underside is really impressive. (Corvette). So much high quality parts. This car has so much life in it.
The Allante is such a pretty car.
Randy is living his life to the fullest and risking his and mikes life with these uploads
No matter how many times you flush the transmission if the car isn't running the fluid in the front pump doesn't flush unless you connect it to a trans flush machine
he did the redneck bucket flush.. it uses the pump to pump the bad fluid out while they pour new fluid down the dipstick tube.
Can't wait to see the Vette painted and in good working order. Love the things your teaching me. More than you can imagine.
I saw the filter leak in the video. I was yelling it’s the filter, it’s loose!! 🤣🤣🤣
makes 2 of us.. you could see it dripping from the filter in one shot.
I'm so glad the oil leak wasn't a big problem 🤘🏽 It looks great 🖤
Betting that BCM code is whats causing the security light to come on. Possibly the antenna fault as well. That corvette can be turned into a really, really nice car pretty easy. It’ll be nice to see that Cadillac all working such a nice and under appreciated car glad it’s getting your attention. That gauge cluster is so cool looking, I remember my grandparents and it was really quick for that time period.
A beater Corvette is still a Corvette. For the O2 sensor thing, if you want the light off but don't want to spend $3000 on new cats, then look at getting O2 sensor extensions. you screw these into the O2 sensor holes, then screw the 02 sensors into them. This basically pulls the rear O2 sensors out of the direct exhaust stream and tricks the computer into thinking the cats are working because it is seeing less exhaust flow. That should take care of the check wallet light.
I have seen transmission flush’s done at the dealership with a pump machine . Car running and hooked to the machine. The mechanic believed in this process, I don’t know but seems like you should try it. I think salt water got to your cable shift and needs a new shifter cable.
Hello Randy. The Chevrolet Corvette is a good car. Let's see how bad the oil leak is. Hopefully it won't cost to much to fix the oil leak.
Randy, you are knowledgeable about cars than some people give you credit for!!!!
I’m so in love with that Allante its quirky, a Cadillac, and has such a gorgeous red paint job I swear, such a mysterious little car I love it!
I don't understand stand why most people wanna see randy works on his cars . He knows how to work on cars but doing walk around every week and getting these cars home and all the paperwork's and not to forget his personal life and family take a lot of time and with that said he still post every day videos. I really don't know how he keep doing all these videos every day with all everyday life and that not very easy to do honestly.
Thank you 🙏 randy for all these content.
I’m always amazed on the how clean the underside of most of the cars you show are I hate living in the rust belt
I hope you get to feeling better soon and yes I would love to see more done on both cars
Check the connectors under drivers seat for airbag light on vette.
Pretty great series Randy & Mike. Certainly filled with problems and triumphs. Pretty amazed the Caddy made it back, makes a guy want to make bad choices on flood cars :) Also, the SuperClean team is awesome, keeping us hooked up on products! Feel better soon.
I would love to get that Corvette even with the high miles. Looks good generally especially for its age and mileage and it sounds like it runs well. Just needs some love.
Randy so many people have changed there oil not realizing that the o ring came off of the filter and is stuck to the block. When you put the new filter on most of the time will not stay tight. I highly recommend you take it off and check that.
I was going to suggest that. Seen it happen more than once.
yes I would like to see you fix the vette and see you and Mike work on the caddy
Hey Randy. Thank you for the great content! Love your channel and I look forward to your videos every night. I wanted to drop a line to say that I used the techniques you’ve given when looking at cars during your Copart walk around when I went used car shopping. I finally pulled the trigger this past week on what I think is a good one, but found several issues when I looked at the first several cars in my area. Thanks again!
I think water is in your torque converter
Love the Vette but the Allante is the real ride.!!!! I wanna see that Jem fixed and Looking FINE!!!!
love the FL patina,no,no, the emblems are perfect and original, don't top off the brake fluid until you see if the pads are worn out. Clean some oil off then fluid film it. May have seemed like work, but this is fun, remember !
You need to check the inside pad in case the caliper is stuck and only wearing one pad.
I like the sound.
Can you get a switch at the junk yard ?
I had the same oil leak. The dummy that changed the oil did not tighten. I had to fire myself !
You have to flush the converter too. Maybe separetly ? Drill a hole in the bottom, then plug with sealed end rivit.
MWM's fault ? He's the one who got it going !
Keep 'em comin' Randy !
Great to see u are back to working on cars a gen
I was right about it being the filter leaking. If you go back and watch the video Randy, when the trans pan was being put back on, you could still see the pink frothy goop dripping from the transmission. Maybe it didn't get completely cleaned out and needs a really good flushing a few times? The car is in too nice of shape to not fix it. It runs and drives awesome and the body is in incredible shape for it's age. Good luck and I hope you're feeling better and your shoulder is healing up.
Sounds like you may need new shift cable for the Cadillac
This car is pretty darn nice for the age and mileage! Glad that the oil leak was simply loose oil filter!
So glad ur feeling better. And I used super clean for years and it’s one of the best cleaners out there
Considering that to drive it 2000 miles with the roof open because you can shut it and it was raining so it’s not too bad could do with a decent spray job on it as well it looks for quite nice under the hood need new clips so it’s not too bad to get there I need to lead on it as well need a good service on it as well
Loving the Corvette and the Cadillac allante content 💯💯
It's cool to see the C6 being featured. I have its identical brother, but with 128k miles. I rebuilt it after a front end collision. I just subscribed. Best of luck!
Great video, great road trip Randy, throughly enjoyed from start to finish 👍 these cars can be saved 😀 looking forward to the fix em videos
The Walk Arounds give us some insight to your madness. The adventures show your madness in action. It's a fantastic one, two punch.
Love the vette!! I do have one question, and I hope it's not too personal ..... I have heard you say you have a dealership, and I have also heard you say you can not sell to the general public!? Why is that?
Randy I hope you feel better 🙏🏻. I like the black corvette 👍
From the beginning, when you first discovered the leak, I was thinking drain plug or filter loose. Good save. 👍 Matt
Randy good to see you better, they are Great cars!! God Bless.
I am eternally in gratitude to you. More than any other person, you truly helped me and continue to help me. I will never be able to thank you enough. I just received my first payment in months on my channel. The reason my channel is monetized is because of you. I will NEVER forget that fact. I regret and apologize how I left things between us. I was wrong and my attitude towards you was unwise and uncalled for. I wish you and your loved ones continued health and prosperity.
Glad you are slowly starting to get better.
Good Video Randy Good To See You Wrenching In Your Shop I Hope Your Feeling Better I Love The Corvette & Hopefully You Can Save The Red Cady Keep Up The Good Work With The Entertaining Videos
That was kool diagnostic setup u did on C6 Vette convertible Randy also nice almost fixing light problem but yeah probably need two new front lights, fix airbag sensor & yeap loose oil filter will definitely make a mess especially since precious owner had oil change done by somebody else.
It's a good video I can't believe they didn't tighten your oil filter that's probably where your leak standing from
This may sound strange but based on the mileage, try changing the power steering fluid… I experienced similar problems and changing the fluid solved the issue
For having that many miles she’s in good shape! Like you said a paint job and a little work it will be a great car! Definitely want to see more content on the vette
Randy not sure you fixed the airbag light but let me save you time. I’ve owned 10 c6 vettes and all the airbag lights came on. 8 out of 10 of them was a lose connection under the driver seat. It would pull on the plug, if you adjust your seat all the up and go back and forth the light will go off.
Ist is a common issue on many cars. I fixed mine just by cleaning the connections under the seat. Take it to a shop may cost alot of money because they always want to sell parts and charge you for the time troubleshooting.
How absolutely gorgeous that lift is!!!
With the Allante. You need to replace the rad, hoses, heater hoses, trans lines and power flush. Then replace filter and fluid. Note: Flush the heater core as well.
Yikes glad that oil filter didn't pop off entirely during the trip
.
At least you got a free under coating treatment ;)
In your last video when you were zoomed in under the car looking for the leak with the car running, you couldn't see it in person, but there were two or three drops that came straight from the bottom of the oil filter that your camera picked up 😉👍
In my village we don't know Corvette's but i like them, just saw the Z06 super sick but expensive thou danggg
you could see it dripping from the filter in the last video
Just an educated guess but there is an intercooler in the rad. Change the rad and flush again and it should do it. I see you got it. Change the rad. Good stuff.
Check the oil filter and make sure the old gasket is gone. If it has two gaskets, it will spray oil just like you described.
Randy, love the Abbott and Costello road trips, also love watching you wrench on cars. Where’s Santa?
Randy, if you look back at your last video. You will see the oil dripping from the oil filter itself. The camera caught it when you put it under the vehicle, but you could not see it. I tried to post on the last video, but I see you have now found the issue. I am not saying that is the only issue, you could have a leak elsewhere on the drivetrain as well. But I could see drops coming from oil filter in previous video. The time stamp is 33:58, but if you start at 33:56 you will see drop form, and fall. It drips on camera until 34:11. Hope this helps. Keep doing your thing Randy! I am from Southern Oklahoma right off 35. If you are ever in the 580 give me a shout!
Yes we are interested in all the content on both cars randy and yes it would be great to see you both to work on the red car
I tried to change the spark plugs today and it didn't end well so I have respect for people who can successfully fix a car. I got 5 of 8 spark plugs changed. For me it's frustrating and literally painful.
Glad to see you're doing better. I would love to see more of the caddy and of course your new Vette
Randy throw some sick chrome wrap on her would look epic
Glad it was the oil filter, could see it dripping from there in the last video so had hopes it was just loose or some cooler connection leaking.
On your latest video "Will SamCrac's 300K Mile c6 Corvette and the Flooded Cadillac Allante Make it 1700 Miles Home" on minute 34 shows the leak. On the Headlight bulb check for polarity maybe that will work. Keep up the good work.
That was a big win on the corvette oil leak. I'd like to see you fix the transmission issues on the Allante and get the windows to work.
Allante: that's interesting about the coolant... There's that and the no heat situation. I wonder if the heater core is plugged full of that pink goop that was in the transmission pan. Hopefully another flush will get the rest of that crap out of the transmission. As far as the shifter, the cable probably got water in it and displaced the grease, causing a ton of friction. If it didn't break here, treat it like an old bike with cable actuated brakes and spray some lithium or silicon lube and see if it frees up.
After tightening the oil filter top off the oil and watch it to make sure no more leaking
Not a bad looking ride there boss! Definitely digging the content here lately!
Classic Jiffy Lube oil change loose oil filter or loose drain plug or it’s stripped. Good find quick fix
Unless you find a leak, don't top the brake fluid off. It helps indicate wear.
Keep up the great work Randy. Nice job on getting the oil filter fix the Corvette. Okay.
on the Caddy the torque converter and transmission filter had water in them as well.
Randy’s been killing it with these videos recently!!
Give the corvette some love ❤she is screaming make me pretty again lol I’m interested in seeing both car fixed the caddy I think you will get your money out it if you sell it
If you want to know for sure if transmission cooler is compromised loosen and remove transmission lines and cap from radiator and use compressed air blow into cooler while holding something over hole for transmission line if it is compromised you'll get air bubbles come out where the cap goes depending on the severity of the leak depends on how much air is going to come to the system
You should be able to re-adjust the slack the rack with that large hex below the steering input. Also check the intermediate steering shaft. U-joints usually have some play in them.
Going by your difficulty jumpstarting the Allante and comments on the last video, I suspect there may be the odd bad ground point lurking in there. Might be worth going through them, especially those likely to have been flooded. Once cleaned and conserved properly, they should last for years. That lost comm with the TCM is concerning me a bit, I guess check the connectors and otherwise I hope you're a fan of Ivan @ PHAD...
Thanks for the great content. Randy I'm a big Chevy guy but I would send the vet down the road. It seems like a money pit. Looking forward to your next video.
i think sam took the airbag out of the steering wheel to fix the steering wheel if i remember correctly from his video
That side view is a sweet angle!
Every time Randy has said Samcrac in his last few videos, take a shot of vodka! If you do, don’t drive!
i was thinking the leak was from the oil cooler block off plate right above the oil filter.. i was close! i bet water was in the torque converter in the caddy.. just gonna have to keep changing the fluid till its good
Hey Randy its might be the seat position sensor under the driver side seat the wire might be broken that will cause the airbag light to remain on
That Cadillac is a sharp looking car.
Yes that is a sign of a bad rad,Me i would change the rad right after the flush
The Florida trip was awesome. I would like to see what Macco can do with it. Don’t spend a lot on it.
Hey, Just watching your latest video… I know on some of the cars that I have purchased in the past with an airbag light on… It is just a loose connection under the seat… Check the connection under both Seats- hope it helps.
Love that Corvette the Cadillac is a interesting car but both will provide great content
My brother owned a C6 stick rag top
Nice car to drive
Like I’ve been saying it’s the torque converter that is full of water.
2 great cars Randy with interesting challenges and huge mods potential.
In the last video, when you were looking under it in the motel parking lot, you could literally see it dripping off the oil filter.
i rebuild transmissions for a living i promise you that trans will not last whether its water or coolant once that sits on the clutches and seals they swell and the faces of the clutches actually flake off it may be ok for a little bit but eventually it will fail
@ 2:00 of video you really should have said the paint is gone from neglect and has never been protected from the Florida Sun ! A ten Minute wash with any car wash wax soap weekly will seal the paint preventing this sort of Damaged Paint !
