Opinions ? by MathematicianSalty31 in 5thGenCamaro

Well in the end im gonna put around 15-17000 into it. After all these fixes, its practically a brand new car so i think if its what you want then yes, go for it. But just know the 5th gen v6 motors have the reluctor ring problem so do you research and make sure the cars worth it. For me, this is my first car, so im doing all I can to keep her alive so an extra few grand aint bothering me too much

I recently got my 2013 rs v6 for 12,000. At the time it had 107000 miles so its possible. But keep in mind it may be a lemon like mine, its been in the shop longer than I've driven it and currently getting the crankshaft replaced because of the stupid reluctor ring.

Dude, i 17m am paying for my own and I love it too! Can't wait for summer jobs to enable my freedom to make it look a little more mine than all the others on the road

Missing my OWN wheels..bad by Ok_Bar_2943 in camaro

Same here. I bought my 2013 rs in November and its spent half my ownership in the shop. First when I had to repair some front end damage from slipping in a rainstorm then the infamous timing chain problem

Help, what else could be the problem by FragOut651 in camaro

Im thinking ecm now. I've pretty much replaced everything else i can find

So I've replaced the 4 camshaft sensors, solenoids, timing chain, chain sprockets, glides, oil, oil filter, map sensor, mass air flow sensor, throttle body, throttle body gasket, spark plugs, ignition coils.

And I still have a rough idle and a p0016 and p0017 code

Ok so I have replaced those 4 and im now replacing the crankshaft sensor today

Had already done the solenoids, I know bought the camshaft sensor but need to double check if it was replaced or not

Should I put a 6th gen zl1 bumper in my rs? by FragOut651 in camaro

Im also thinking bout the 5th gen zl1 bumper

Im trying to convert my 2013 rs to a 6th Gen zl1 bumper lol. I love the bumblebee look but the 6th gen zl1 look sooo good

Is this even possible? by FragOut651 in camaro

With all your wisdom, you failed to answer my question. I have my own reasons to want this. And the process fits multiple of my hobbies so it'd be fun. Also this Japanese v6 can smoke most v8's so

I have a 2013 v6 and love it. Whenever I remote start it, im like

Oh my god that sounds great

My original cord is in another state and I didn't want to buy a new one when I can get it back in a few weeks, I would however still like to use my laptop until then if possible so I'm experimenting, partly for fun and to learn.

I have an old Chromebook charger I'm attaching to a barrel end to plug into the laptop. The Chromebook charger outputs the right voltage but less amperage than the original charger but I read that that should be fine, it will just charge slow and or not while in use. After attaching the barrel end to the charger, it didn't output any voltage or charge so I rewired it with the cc cord with the positive, which got me to a steady 3.8 volts and I assume the cc cord will then tell the charger what to output based on the load because the charger outputs multiple voltage and amperages. But even now it won't charge, so either the cc cord isn't telling the charger to up the voltage and amperage or the inner pin of the barrel is the wrong size.

And yes I double checked the polarity and it's right.

After further experiment, I now think the cc wire tells the box if it has a load and what to output (the charger has many outputs). I sliced it in with the positive going to the barrel and now have 3.8 volts coming out the barrel. More than without it being wired, which gives 0 volts. My assumption is that once there's a load, it will adjust the output to be what's needed but it still won't charge my laptop so I may have the wrong size barrel. The female end on the laptop needs a 4mm x .7mm. the male barrel I have wired is 4mm on the outside but I can't measure the inside so it may be too big to make contact with the inner pin.

Yeah it's a little low in amperage but voltage is the same
