@@chrisfix did you use your phone to record before? I mean long time ago lol
@@Gliw0306 Feels way good for a phone in 2010 so I’m guessing he’s using a stand alone camera.
Yep
I visit this video to remind me how far chrisfix editing has changed Soo much! Wow
U are the only youtuber that liking coments so long after the video thats why i love u so much its cuz u showing so much extra in ur videos too and its fun with cars too
His editing improved drastically, but his way of speaking and showing people how to do it never changed.
Showing close ups and what to remove and what tools to use. True Legend Chris!
Whoa old school. Keep up the good work Chris!
NegrosVideos 👏👏👏🍻👍👏👏😀
NecrosVideos holy crap I seen your gmod vids!
Quality has increased drastically over the years but helpfulness has been there from the start!
Idc if it's cheesy, I don't even like cheese...
my friend eats cheese sandwiches for lunches at work, NO MEAT, i dont even know why...
@@mastersergant1287yo friend a freak bro 😳😭
@Wevsvet Thanks... I used a tripod for some shots and I just used my hands for the other shots... Figured since I was changing out the water pump I would make a video on how to do it!
ChrisFix I have been having electrical problems with my 2009 Chevy impala. What should i do?
And this is how your channel was born.
I love how your second video is still better then alot of the other crap out there
Thanks a lot! Yea this was an oldie haha
Who else watching this on 2020 just to see how everything start??? Good job Chris , keep it up!!!👍👍👍
2021 STILL BEING WATCHED :)
@@ESF19791111 2022
i love to see how genuine Chris has always been, one of the coolest and energetic youtubers out there!
Thanks a lot
You posted this in 2010 and now its 2020.
Compared to your most recent videos I would call this "Evolution at its finest"
Good job.
is this the first time 'wooder' was heard on the channel looool GOGOGO TEAM CHRISFIX loving the endurance racing.
I've been watching your channel for a few years now. Just now stumbling upon these corvette vids. Good Stuff! Congrats on the 1,000,000 viewers.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate all the long term support!
Chrisfix's first ever how to video
Wow this guy is a good “how to” you tuber since 2012!
Been the goal since the start!
It’s good watching Chris in the old times :)
his voice has not changed that much
your a legend
Lol thanks!
your truly a lengend
@@chrisfix when will you upload ??
Well now you are an expert! Im glad the video helped otherwise and you saved some money (as well as did it correctly compared to a mechanic lol)... Torch red is one of the best Vette colors!!!
try a few things: one would be to take the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator (you can check out my fuel pressure regulator video for that one). Run it and see if it still misses. Make sure the vacuum line doesnt smell like gas. The other thing to do is at night, take a spray bottle filled with water and spray the spark plug wires and see if you see little sparks. The car should be running as you do this. If you see sparks, then you need new plugs and wires! Let me know if that helps!
I'm amazed you were able to get this done without removing the fan shroud and radiator. They really pack the stuff in tight in the Vette and the F bodies. I'm about to tackle my second water pump replacement on my 96 Formula. 170000 miles and going strong. Can't bring myself to give her up. Taught all three sons to drive in that car. Thanks for the video. It was a good memorie refresher.
It’s amazing how times and technology have evolved in the last 10years. Keep it up Chris.
No prob!!! Im glad it helped you out!!! Its a good feeling when its all done!!!
Wow! Man your still killing it! Has to be one of the best mechanic on youtube!
Holy Smokes! Chrisfix in his young and inoncent times.Keep up the good work!!!
Haha right?!
Man this is hilarious. So I actually worked on my geo metro once loony before I just redid all my brakes solely due to the fact of chrisfix, but before what I did replace.... was the water pump!! Your first video. I bet you were as proud as I was too, saving that money!
Haha, old school ChrisFix! I was pretty excited back then when I was saving money like this :p
@@chrisfixIt's truly a great feeling!
Ah old youtube is so peaceful. People talk calmly. It's therapeutic.
I’ve always watched your videos for fun and this is like the first time I get to use one of these videos, 1994 camaro z28
Great! Glad you saved some money!!!!
Hey chris I did it thanks to you I followed your instructions and put a brand new water pump on my z28 thanks man, keep those videos coming
darksider210 Awesome man! Thanks for letting me know! I love hearing success stories! New how to videos every Thursday and a potential bonus video on Mondays!
how long did it take you lol
Your productions has really improved over the years. this one is good but your newer ones show great improvement. thanks for the videos.
Yea, I think you are right... My buddy's Vette had the same problem.
I am here to see your old lesson you are perfect
Ah, back in the 480p days of youtube, Chris's videos have come a long way, best car channels ever
I like how his voice sounds exactly the same between the one from 6 days ago (3-6-2020) and this one, but the old Chris is s bit more shy.
Good Chris.
Old school ChrisFix! Haha, I wasn't as excited to film back then as I was now!
just bought a 94 lt1 yesterday. today the water pump went out. so thank you sire for being so detailed. This video will help me and so many people
2020 and am here....
Coming from the changing my dad's wooder pump video 🤙🤙 i gotta say a huge and amazing growth in everything on a 10 year scale !!! keep it up Chris !❤
Getting ready to change the water pump on my 93 TA with the LT1. Looks very similar under the hood, hopefully will go as smooth! Thanks for posting this.
first time he did a voice over and after ten years he is still killing it
@Feenyxxx95 Hey, from the factory it has had Dexcool and its GM recommended to use dexcool... I have no problems at all... The problems happen when you mix dexcool with the green stuff! Hope this helps!
The first how to video
@rid3r28 no prob, hopefully it was useful!
The beginning of the video shows how I knew lol... It was leaking though the weep-hole and I lost power steering because the belt would slip since it leaked on the belt. The waterpump itself was under $200 and the blades are fine. They rarely go bad and are made of aluminum so it wont rust.... I would use the stock thermostat (190F)
Woah, this video is really techy!
no prob... if things start getting frustrated, take a nice brake!
Chris thanks to you I save a lot of money fixing my own car and with the money I been save finally I gonna go to the mechanic school I know you not gonna read my comment it I’m really grateful for your videos
Sorry about this being an old video that I'm asking you this. I'm going back and watching all of your old videos. Where did you come by all of your skills? You explain everything to where everyone can understand everything.
First how to video of Chrisfix
@Andyatallah no prob, hoped it helped and thanks!
Nice use of Rammstein's "Zwitter" as the intro music.
u came along way keep up the good work
That was an excellent " Wudder " Pump replacement video! Youve got a Great attitude when you work on cars .
I love it !
Your voice has changed over the years you’ve created your channel ps I love your videos.❤❤❤
No prob man! I love the admiral blue! Yea, the opti is just another few steps but if you have the waterpump off, it's not that bad! Good luck!
It is simple. You just fill it up half water half coolant... Not hard at all... Fill the radiator, let it run with the radiator cap off, turn the heat on, and if there is air, bleed it from the bleeder valve on the waterpump...
A legend like you has been born
Thank you. I’m in the midst of preparing everything for pump install. 😊
No prob! Thanks for the comment!
Yo is anyone here on 2024 ❤❤ he is still killing it with his videos keep going 🎉❤
Nothing like watching some early Chris Fix videos.
Wow Chris. You have come a long way! Keep it going man!
Chris has been doing this for a decade!!!! That's insane
Chris love your videos and I'm thankful. I'm glad you made this one for later this spring when i replace my Roadmaster waterpump. I'm also replacing the optispark, plugs and wires and flush the coolant.
Doomzdayxx Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful! It is good to replace the seals as well when you change the waterpump and optispark!
Great job Chris ! very informative and I like the way you told the sizes of sockets needed to do the repair. You are a CLASS ACT !
The first dIY/common hand tool video. Chrifix keep up the good work👍🙏
Omg even tho ur like 18-19 u still sound the same. That’s so great Chris. I hope that you live a super happy life man! You deserve it! 🙏
Wow, I wasn't expecting to see a Chrisfix a video for this lol. I'm going to look at one on Monday. Possibly trade my Crown Vic for it
This vid blows my mind on how Chrisfix Improved
Haha it's insane!
Sorry you didnt realize (and I didnt say) that the coupler was needed to engage the waterpump shaft to the cam... I added it in as an annotation... At 7:03 you can clearly see the coupler on the shaft that connects the cam... I assumed that you would recognize the coupler comes off and is needed for the new waterpump but thanks for letting me know it is not so obvious. Does my annotation clear it up?
Oh chrisfix how you have evolved lol
Its been 8 years of videos 👏👏👏👏👏 u r the best chris ❤❤
A legend was born..
THANKS... AAAAAAGAAAIINNNNN!! THIS DUDE RULES,, HE SEEMS TO COVER ALMOST EVERYTHING I HAVE TO DO
Came to see how it was 7 years ago... So different that what is in 2020! Super cool to see the difference.
It can be a few things. I would make sure your thermostat is working (did you change it with the waterpump)? Your block could be clogged, your radiator cap could be leaking, and/or your headgasket could be bad. You can purchase a coolant system pressure tester for under $100 or take it to a shop and have them test the system... See if you can get your radiator cap tested for free... That would be my first step along with a thermostat.
Love to see how far you have progressed
amazing, I love how your channel has evolved over the years!
Very nice Chris. I REALLY appreciate your instruction videos.Helped me a lot with my '95 C4 water pump replacement today. Heck, I think I remember a video you made sometime back that helped me solve my C4 rear end clunk. Again many thanks. This time I subscribed to your channel, and I'm at least twice your age.
You’ve come a long way since then
I just scrolled down your channel to see your oldest videos wow dude that’s crazy
Old school ChrisFix!
Best mechanic youtuber
If it is from the weep hole, it is the pump! Good luck and thanks for the comment!
Is this the video that stated it all? I've been following you for 3 year or more and love your videos and I was just wondering 😅
Wonder if you knew you would be doing these types of videos over 10 years later? Great job and info. Saw on a video that you still had this car.
You even got Prince's "Red Corvette" to play while you were testing the new water pump. Nice! : )
@orenkrief you just pull it off with your finger... It its stuck on there spray some wd40 or liquid wrench and then try!
An opti is the distributer and yes it is on your impala if it as an LT1 V8. I would get a new temp sensor (easy enough to replace) and that should fix your problem of the temp sensor not working.
First how to video starting here and watching everyone of the how to's 2018 will be a great year
well the only way to find out is to take the intake off and look around... The bottom of the water pump will most likely tell you if it is the culprit (the wheep hole leaks)... It could also be where the gasket and water-pump meet... Check those areas and if you dont see anything it is probably something else...
I’m watching in 2020 insane how Chris changed
@ Mr Vulcan. I also own a 1996 formula. Mine is white with t tops and 101,000 miles. I have had it for 2 years. I have been making some repairs on it lately. But it is a fun car. The new crime rims on it updated the look. People are surprised when I tell them it is a 1996.
The video is helpful thanks. It should make my job easier.
Liked the music at the start , good job with the vids
Damn you were a teacher since the very beginning you’ve actually kinda inspired me to be a car boii highkey wanna be a mechanic but my area don’t need any it’s like a mini Detroit here
Man you Ben doing TH-cam for long time now but your sill killing it 🚙
Even wise as a young man 👍 I'm swiping mine out thanks for the video
Watching in 2021 to see if there's any tidbits to help in changing the pump on my 96 Impala SS.
Very cool to see how far the vids have come!
and this is his *first* how to video
Chris you have came a long away from almost 11 years
What vacuum line are you talking about? Do you see it in my video (you can tag a time in the video that you see it such as 5:11)
Thank you! Helped with my ‘96 Fleetwood LT1
Amazing job man! A good classic this video is
