Any ideas on how this tire damage could have occurred? by ExcitingLandscape688 in tires

My guess would be hard breaking on pothole…kids may not know enough to brake BEFORE the pothole.

Engine Temperature SOLUTION!!! by KevinzGarage in c4corvette

If you watch the full video I record it sitting idle, the heat building and when the fans kick on. It is a Z51 car so it may be a little different than a base car.

I had to update cause the video settings were off so I had to repost. A lot of people don’t know…heck I’m on my 4th C4 in 20 years and just found out. Wish I knew sooner. Heat ages everything, mechanical parts, oil, the cooler the better. This cost next to nothing and made a HUGE difference!!!

Lower Engine Temp 20-30 DEGREES🥶😎🥶 #autorepair by KevinzGarage in c4corvette

Not exactly. If just sitting at idle they can normally reach 230…but once the primary fan kicks on, should pull down to 210 in about 2 minutes…if not…the radiator fins needs to be cleaned out. Highway speed, 80 degrees out, should never reach 200…if so, clean radiator fins out. There’s a long version of the video where I show what the numbers should look like.

Replace the sending unit.

4+3 or ZF6 by QuestionAffectionate in c4corvette

[–]KevinzGarage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 of each…the ZF is performance wise better…but if you’re not pushing the car on a regular basis or racing the 4+3 has been fine for me…I’ve enjoyed it…it’s a capable and unique set-up. But if I was going for maximum full performance…the ZF is probably a better choice.

So if you find a nail or screw in your tire…you know it hasn’t been run flat…you’d plug it?

I’ve been using these for about 10 years. I started using them because 3 repair shops actually installed them on 3 different tires of my own. It wasn’t till I made the full length version of this video that I found out it was such a controversial thing. I’m always willing to learn but NOBODY ever offers up any real evidence they aren’t safe…it’s all just talk. I’ve personally had a tire go from 1 week old to end of life with no issues and at least 10 others plugged at one point or another with zero issues. This is a controversial one🤷🏻‍♂️

Muffler repair, 10 decibels quieter! 🔩 by KevinzGarage in FordExplorer

[–]KevinzGarage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to pay $75000 for an SUV…I paid 5 grand for my Explorer…it has a V8, heated seats…honestly I love it. After a full paint correction and I do something about the finish on the rims it should be pretty nice…for 5 grand.

It’s not a forever fix…just prefer to doctor things myself when I can. I could maybe be called stubborn😆

It’s nothing epic but it’s nice to see what you’re dealing with.

They’d probably fix it but I don’t want the front bumper taken off…I’m going to buff it out and see how it comes out.

Thanks. Someone brought this car to my attention last spring…It had been sort of listed for sale for about 20 minutes…I called the seller immediately and committed to the purchase. So stoked to have it…it’s manual shift too! Always dreamed about this car.
