      @@willemp6432 I can tell you that comment is very telling of what you drive. I would not lower it due to the fact that undercarriage repairs are expensive as hell. I don’t care if he’s able and knows how to repair it. It’s simple the fact that why waste money on repairs for something stupid.

    Also BEN, please wear your seatbelt, it is your choice but think of your wife and your family. You don’t want to leave her. Cars safety has improved WITH seatbelt. I have worked accidents seeing people ejected out of their car laying dead on the embankment. Its not worth it bro.

    @RandySmith-iz1ml Рік тому +11

    Good job guys. By the way, the carbon hood looks nice and all but personally I couldn't live with water constantly collecting on by the headlights, very annoying. Did you get a warranty on the new transmission? How long? Don't lower it, it looks fine. How much do you have in the Vette now?

  • @imfloridano5448
    @imfloridano5448 Рік тому +1

    The manufacturers are over engineering transmissions that if not properly flashed the vehicle will not move. Me and my older bruh replaced a valve body in a 2017 chevy Tahoe that has the tmc built onto the unit. After replacing we kept getting engine and transmission codes. After researching we found a dude who went to my brothers house and reflashed it and now the transmission works great

  • @z06doc86
    @z06doc86 Рік тому +2

    Great video series! Be sure and change the DCT filter often. It will save your transmission. Even if you don’t track the car, you should have added the 2 extra quarts of DCT fluid while you had the chance to do it easily. Do the fluid flush as recommended by GM. They use time and/or mileage as parameters. You can never change fluids or over service your vehicle too often. Hopefully, you won’t have to do this job again.

  • @fredstarr9690
    @fredstarr9690 Рік тому +3

    Great job kid! Love to watch your crazy builds! Just curious would you be willing to disclose some of the numbers on your C8 build? What are the wrecked C8s going for at auction? How much did you have in parts and what did that new tranny cost? I'm an older guy and have rebuilt some salvage cars back in the day and was thinking about doing a rebuild on a C8 myself. Currently I have a 59 Corvette resto mod that I built but that will be going up for auction soon and I'll be looking for a new project. Thanks! Keep up the good work! Cheers from NY

    @mjrhavok3929 Рік тому

    Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but the C8 has a service power mode. If you hold the start/stop button for about 5 -10 seconds without pressing the break pedal it will turn on all systems like the engine has started. Handy if you need to run diagnostics but down want the engine running.
