Thanks for this review right now I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a 09 DTS with 109K with no leaks I test drive it and loved it. Just worried sbout the repair cost if it does start to leak since the trans need to be removed to get to it
@lilredcrvtt11 күн бұрын
@JohnDcitizen you're welcome! The small leaks are easy enough to fix. Especially on the transmission or the transmission cooler lines. But be aware, that the entire engine cradle may need to be dropped to access any major oil leaks from the block That could be more expensive to fix. The block is a two piece design. The oil filter adapter can leak too. That can all add up. By 2005 or 2006, GM fixed most of the issues with the Northstar. I have close to 200,000 kms on my car. That is around 125,000 miles. I have a bit of minor oil seepage, but no leaks. My engine runs very well, and I expect it to do so for a long time into the future. GM finally fixed most of the big issues with the Northstar by the time the DTS was built. But, get your potential car very well checked over before you buy it. If it's all good, you will be a satisfied new owner. If not, I hope you can afford the repairs. 👍👍

Hello, is there anything else that could cause the window from not winding in quite all the way? I have the same window crank operator model. When I wind the window closed it nicely wind's all the way but not quite all the way leaving about an inch to 1/2inch opening, i then have to use the other latch to try and catch the parts that pull the window to the lock position. I've totally greased up all the moving slides and seals and the window certainly moves a little more smoothly, however the issue remained. All in all the window is still working as intended, its just the slight hiccup that remains? I did take the crank operator out and inspected it, and from what i can tell it seems fine? I'm not opposed to buying a new crank operator, I was just wondering if you had any thought on this? Thanks in advance!!!
@lilredcrvttАй бұрын
Hi! I'm glad to be of help, if I can. The mechanism that contains the "gears" for the cranking of the window often spread apart. The housing is made of a white metal and is soft. When the housing deforms or spreads apart a bit, the slight pressure of the housing on the gears is relieved. That can cause the gears to not full mesh, causing the window to not full close. As a temporary "fix", you can remove the closure assembly from the window, and using a vice, slightly squeeze the housing together to put the slight tension back onto the gears. Somehow protect the housing when it's in the vice, otherwise you'll damage the finish. While you can try this, I don't necessarily recommend this as a permanent repair. You will be better off buying new replacement closure units. They aren't that expensive and usually fix the issue. Also, check all pivot points of your window to ensure everything moves as it should with no binding at any spot. I hope this helps, good luck with your repair! 👍👍

Apparent the company sells a casement window wrench for these mechanisims that periodically need adjustment. Thanks again!!! the window is now pulling in alot closer than it was....the bottom was easily adjusted but the top was more difficult to adjust, however it is pulling in way further than it was, i dnt think ill be needing a new crank operator just yet.

I had the supercharger replaced under the new var warranty that was on the car at the time. The "snout" that contains the isolator was also replaced once separately. Ultimately, the rattle returned to a lesser extent. The only known "fix" was to replace the original spring loaded isolater with a solid one. Those were or are still available from various aftermarket suppliers. Unfortunately GM declined to do this repair, and I subsequently sold my car and moved on. I wasn't interested in voiding my warranty by installing the solid isolater myself.

Also I show in my video that you should confirm the measurement from the center of the crank pivot to the mounting hole on the arm. This is critical as you need to replace the unit with the same exact length arms. Watch the video to the end, and this will also be shown. Double check all information on your old unit to make certain you order the exact replacement. 👍

Congratulations on your new Mach 1! You will love your new Mustang as I do mine! The car cover came with my car. I think you may be able to order one from a local Ford dealership. Mine was a $550 Canadian dollar option when I bought my car in December of 2021 from Downtown Ford in Toronto. Hopefully you get a good deal on a cover. The one I have is an indoor cover. G You might be able to order a black and white cover using your VIN at a local Ford dealership. If you want an outdoor cover, you may want to shop online. There are some great choices that are available. I live in Niagara Ontario, I don't drive my car in the winter. As such, I have not used any sort of rust proofing. No module, as that really does not work at all and is likely a money scam. Rust Check or Krown would work well. I would be mindful of any soft rubber seals that may swell using either product. It's happened on my winter vehicles in the past using Krown. But, some sort of corrosion protection is better than nothing, If you plan on any sort of winter driving. Again, congrats on your new car, enjoy! 👍👍👍

My car has the regular cloth seats. However heated and cooled leather seats were available as an option. If you are looking for a uses Mach 1, be aware that you can find them with the options you are looking for, it'll just take being selective and some time. But the right car is out there. You might even find a new 2023 Mach 1 somewhere. As nice as the new S650 cars are, there is no way I would trade mine on one.

If you have the warning light on your dashboard, as I do, you likely need to take your car to a tire shop. They can determine which sensor is not functioning. Then they would remove the wheel and separate the tire from the rim to replace the air valve/tire pressure monitor sensor assembly. It's not usually very expensive to have a new sensor installed. I'll be doing mine soon. Hope you have success having yours repaired too! 👍👍

I have a 2010 gt500 in manual and honestly I love that auto box. I wish I could have had that because manuals are old school that’s all. Autos are the future. Way better, smoother, faster and much more fun with downshifts etc. love your car, it’s an amazing machine 👍👍👍

Thank you! I can hardly wait to drive my car when the roads are salt/sand free and it's spring in my area. The 10R80 is an excellent match for the 5.0 in my Mach 1. But, your GT500 is also an amazing car too! The manual in your car is also excellent! The automatics back in 2010 were not as good as they are now. I have a 2002 Camaro SS with a 6 speed manual, and for its time the manual was the way to go. 👍👍

The problem is that 10spd has a lot of problems maintaining it sucks so manual for the piece of mind
@lilredcrvtt5 ай бұрын
I've had three 10R80 transmission equipped vehicles. A 2019 GT, a 2021 Mach 1, and my daily driver 2018 F150. Never had one single issue with any of them. My F150 has over 174,000 kms (over 108,000 miles) and counting with zero issues. I did the transmission fliud and filter on my truck at 150,000 kms (93,000 miles), the fluid looked good and so did the filter. I don't see any problems maintaining the automatic transmission at all. There is no benefit from having a manual for me. As a side note, I would have bought my Mach 1 regardless of which transmission it had. After driving both transmissions in the Mach 1 on the track, I'd pick the automatic every time.

Hello, what do you think of the new Firestone tires? Any issues with tramlining on the highway where the car starts following the grooves in the road and starts feeling light and darty? I have an 02 SS rag top with 35,000 kilometers ( I know... not 4,300 kilometers like yours) but still very low kilometers for the year. GM dealer tells me the alignment is spot on within the manufacturer's specs and the entire front end is tight with no play in the components. Car is not fun when starting to veer into next lane at highway speeds with ruts in the road. So this leaves me with a decision about what brand of tire to try next??
@lilredcrvtt6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question. I have driven about 1100 kms on the Firestone Indy tires. They have been a very good tire, as they have a softer compound. I suspect they will wear more quickly than another tire might. I haven't noticed much, if any tramlining with these tires. But, to be fair, I really haven't driven the car very much during the last season. In my experience, a softer compound tire wil give more road feel, which could be interpreted as tramlining when used in a daily type driving experience. If you do a lot of that type of driving, it may be a good idea to compare the Firestone tires to other brands that have a different tread design and a higher tread life. In one of my other videos, I compare the Michelin Cup 2 tires that came original equipment on my Mustang Mach 1 to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The 4S tires completely eliminated the tramlining I experienced with the softer, track only Cup 2 tires that came on the car as new. I hope I've been of some help. Selecting tires is often a complex process to ensure you have a satisfactory experience with your particular car. Cheers! 👍

I appreciate your reply and just keep your SS! If you do decide to try and sell again you can never been in a rush to sell a collector or specialty type car. There is always a genuine buyer out there that is serious and is aware of what you have and is fully versed on asking prices for that caliber of car they are looking for in the CURRENT economic marketplace. Unfortunately you usually have to sift through and filter through many insincere prospect buyer's that don't really have an intention to or aren't in the position to complete a sale regardless of the price point. There are dream buyer's on every level for every vehicle out there. LOL There is always that RIGHT qualified buyer that eventually comes along and legitimately wants your car without making all the excuses for not wanting to buy the car providing the price is within reason. Just my 2 cents on buyer's and selling.
@lilredcrvtt6 ай бұрын
@annebrill485 you are correct! I am in no particular rush to sell my car. I did have some negative experiences when I tried to sell my car last year. There is a buyer for my car out there somewhere. I have been contacted by two potential buyers recently. One of them was what I considered a serious buyer from last summer. My car is still on their radar. The other potential buyer also spent a great deal of time discussing the car with me last fall. I feel it'll only be a matter of time before my car finds a new home. That's a pity, because I've actually grown to really enjoy and appreciate my car. Only time will tell if I sell my car. In the meantime, I'll plan to enjoy it this upcoming season. The 4th gen Camaro is truly on of the last of a type of car of which we likely will never see in the future. There is a visceral connection between the car and driver, that in many ways, is missing in newer cars. Enjoy you car every chance you have, they really are incredibly great!

We are a Camaro family with a second gen, a fourth gen and a fifth gen ZL1 Ragtop so I fully understand and we have a connection to all of them. I will admit though that I would have thought that these Catfish 4th gens would be pulling higher values by now so maybe they are just late bloomer classics that will gain in popularity again and increase in value in the future.

I've driven both Tremec and automatic Mach 1s on the track. Sure, the Tremac is "fun" shifting it up and down. But it will never beat the 10R80, whether in a straight line or road course. That's the facts. I do have a Tremac equipped Camaro if I really want to shift my own gears. However, I prefer the 10R80 equipped Mach 1 over it.

You did the right thing going with the 5 spoke pulley. I looked into that one but decided to go with the stock style pulley for the time being. If I make any mods to the engine, I'll likely be swapping out the one I am now running to the aftermarket style pulley. I'm not sure the O.E.M. pulley will last long.

Is this a self propelled model?
@marekzamora in a way, it is. You must slightly lift the handle and the back end. Then the rubber paddles will pull the machine forward. It is dependent on how much you lift the handle.
Love that beast what was that worth in 2021 if you don't mind me asking please PS man that's one sharp car
@canamdennis6829 thank you very much! It's an amazingly good car! I bought my car right off of the showroom floor with 9.1 kms on the odometer, for around $75K Canadian dollars back in December of 2021. That was the sticker price, no dealership mark up. Plus the obligatory 13% tax. That was a good chunk of cash, but well worth it. 👍👍
Having supercharged another one of my cars years ago, I regret it (there's always little problems/issues/etc), I don't see myself doing forced induction on my Mach 1.
@rev68 you make a very good point. The Mach 1 is really good as it is...but some days I throw the idea of superchargering it around. I'll likely never do it though. As you say, it can cause problems, and it's expensive to do. 👍👍
11 is my favorite caddy
@davidvandever3132 I was looking to get an '11 but I found the '06. It was a super clean car, so I bought it. However, if a really low mileage newer one pops up, I'd likely consider it. 👍👍
We have an ‘09 DTS Premium, Raven Black with black interior. It has high miles now (although quite a bit less mileage than this one) so we’re hoping to trade it in when we go looking for a preowned Continental.
@Travis25601 I like the Continental too. It's a very good looking car. Definitely worth a look! 👍
Thanks for this review right now I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a 09 DTS with 109K with no leaks I test drive it and loved it. Just worried sbout the repair cost if it does start to leak since the trans need to be removed to get to it
@JohnDcitizen you're welcome! The small leaks are easy enough to fix. Especially on the transmission or the transmission cooler lines. But be aware, that the entire engine cradle may need to be dropped to access any major oil leaks from the block That could be more expensive to fix. The block is a two piece design. The oil filter adapter can leak too. That can all add up. By 2005 or 2006, GM fixed most of the issues with the Northstar. I have close to 200,000 kms on my car. That is around 125,000 miles. I have a bit of minor oil seepage, but no leaks. My engine runs very well, and I expect it to do so for a long time into the future. GM finally fixed most of the big issues with the Northstar by the time the DTS was built. But, get your potential car very well checked over before you buy it. If it's all good, you will be a satisfied new owner. If not, I hope you can afford the repairs. 👍👍
Excellent video. I hope every dts owner watches this video!!
@SanjitSinghKalsi thank you! Every DTS owner, and for that matter any owner of any car with fender liners should do. Get that dirt cleaned out to prevent any rusting out of the body. 👍👍

A great deal on my gold 2006 NHP performance 18" rims with 55K miles for only $1,700. Sure it went thru a hurricane resulting in a rebuilt title and a few scratches to show but runs flawlessly now at 81K miles with minor maintenance. Love my DTS
That's a great car! After surviving a hurricane, it has a cool story behind it now. Enjoy it and drive it as much as you can. 👍👍👍
Love the these float and roar when it downshift. I've got a 96 concours polo green with vogue stardust rims and vogue tires. I rebuilt the engine my self with northstar performance head studs.

Thank you for the compliment! I had a 1999 STS. I completely rebuilt the engine in that car. It had the dreaded head gasket issue. Unfortunately I sold the car and was without a Cadillac for a long time. I found my car this past February and I'm totally in love with it! I'd buy another DTS in a heartbeat. It is the last of the true Cadillacs. The ride, and performance are exceptional compared to my old STS. Hopefully you will eventually have a DTS. It really is an amazingly good car! 👍👍👍

Hello, is there anything else that could cause the window from not winding in quite all the way? I have the same window crank operator model. When I wind the window closed it nicely wind's all the way but not quite all the way leaving about an inch to 1/2inch opening, i then have to use the other latch to try and catch the parts that pull the window to the lock position. I've totally greased up all the moving slides and seals and the window certainly moves a little more smoothly, however the issue remained. All in all the window is still working as intended, its just the slight hiccup that remains? I did take the crank operator out and inspected it, and from what i can tell it seems fine? I'm not opposed to buying a new crank operator, I was just wondering if you had any thought on this? Thanks in advance!!!
Hi! I'm glad to be of help, if I can. The mechanism that contains the "gears" for the cranking of the window often spread apart. The housing is made of a white metal and is soft. When the housing deforms or spreads apart a bit, the slight pressure of the housing on the gears is relieved. That can cause the gears to not full mesh, causing the window to not full close. As a temporary "fix", you can remove the closure assembly from the window, and using a vice, slightly squeeze the housing together to put the slight tension back onto the gears. Somehow protect the housing when it's in the vice, otherwise you'll damage the finish. While you can try this, I don't necessarily recommend this as a permanent repair. You will be better off buying new replacement closure units. They aren't that expensive and usually fix the issue. Also, check all pivot points of your window to ensure everything moves as it should with no binding at any spot. I hope this helps, good luck with your repair! 👍👍
@@lilredcrvtt Hello & Thanks very much for the response, after my first message sent i went on old trusty uutbe to see if there was something i was missing, and low and behold there were two adjustment mechanisims on either end of the stationarey control arms, once the ends of each of these are readjusted the window seems to pull in a little further....does this make sense? Apparent the company sells a casement window wrench for these mechanisims that periodically need adjustment. Thanks again!!! the window is now pulling in alot closer than it was....the bottom was easily adjusted but the top was more difficult to adjust, however it is pulling in way further than it was, i dnt think ill be needing a new crank operator just yet. Thanks again for your video, it put a fire under my azz to investigate my window. 👍
@andre7733 you're welcome! I did mention to check for binding along the window, and it seems you have found the adjustment points. A lot of people over look those. I'm glad you found the suitable repair for your window! In my case the closure mechanism was too far gone and needed to be replaced. KZread has a lot of very good information, I'm glad you found the right solution. 👍👍
How you fixed?
I had the supercharger replaced under the new var warranty that was on the car at the time. The "snout" that contains the isolator was also replaced once separately. Ultimately, the rattle returned to a lesser extent. The only known "fix" was to replace the original spring loaded isolater with a solid one. Those were or are still available from various aftermarket suppliers. Unfortunately GM declined to do this repair, and I subsequently sold my car and moved on. I wasn't interested in voiding my warranty by installing the solid isolater myself.
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing. Could you please share the brand and model number of the crank component you got on Amazon? I need to replace one that looks almost the same to yours.
I'm glad the video was helpful. In my particular case the unit was a Truth brand, model number 41011 and 41012. I show this information in my video. However, you should actually examine your particular unit to determine the correct brand and model number. This information will be stamped into the arm on your particular unit. Also I show in my video that you should confirm the measurement from the center of the crank pivot to the mounting hole on the arm. This is critical as you need to replace the unit with the same exact length arms. Watch the video to the end, and this will also be shown. Double check all information on your old unit to make certain you order the exact replacement. 👍
These cars get overlooked & they shouldn't. 🤫🤐 These cars are my secret for years
In a way, having these cars be under appreciated is a huge benefit to those of us that know better. It's possible to get one relatively inexpensively. I'll be looking to find a lower mileage, slightly newer model year DTS. I'd really like to keep driving the DTS long into the future! 👍👍👍
I'm a car guy & I owned my 2008 DTS since 2017 (58k - 149k miles), still love her. She replaced my 2003 DHS that I owned for six years but got totalled. Don't believe the Northstar rumors, just stay on top of maintenance schedule & fix what fails! 💯❤️
The Northstar gets a bad reputation due to the earlier engines having some issues. But they got to be a very reliable engine later on in the production cycle. They can last a long time and many miles. I've had a Northstar in a '99 STS years ago. I did the head stud upgrade and refreshed the engine overall. It ran for many hundreds of thousands of kilometers and many years afterward. Excellent engines and well built cars all around! 👍👍👍

Great Channel will keep following ..we live in Haliburton picking up up the mach in Georgetown on Monday..cheers
Congratulations on your new Mach 1! You will love your new Mustang as I do mine! The car cover came with my car. I think you may be able to order one from a local Ford dealership. Mine was a $550 Canadian dollar option when I bought my car in December of 2021 from Downtown Ford in Toronto. Hopefully you get a good deal on a cover. The one I have is an indoor cover. G You might be able to order a black and white cover using your VIN at a local Ford dealership. If you want an outdoor cover, you may want to shop online. There are some great choices that are available. I live in Niagara Ontario, I don't drive my car in the winter. As such, I have not used any sort of rust proofing. No module, as that really does not work at all and is likely a money scam. Rust Check or Krown would work well. I would be mindful of any soft rubber seals that may swell using either product. It's happened on my winter vehicles in the past using Krown. But, some sort of corrosion protection is better than nothing, If you plan on any sort of winter driving. Again, congrats on your new car, enjoy! 👍👍👍
This is very helpful. $500 minimum charge for this in QC. ?
I'm glad my video was of help. The repair is a simple one to do, and parts are available online. 👍👍
Where did you get the splitter connection/extension pieces from the original handling pack splitter to the fender/wheel well?
I ordered the side skirt extensions and the front winglets from ZL1 ADDONS. If you look back at my older videos, you'll see the ones I made about them. I detail the installation of both of those extras in two separate videos. They have held up very well over the past two years. 👍
That was a sweet ride...
It sure was! The new owner will definitely appreciate it! 👍👍
Thanks so much for sharing your ownership experience! Your Mach1 is stunning. I'm thinking about this over the new GT, just because of a. cost and b. kind of worried about too much tech on the car. Those front splitters - were they standard or did you add them? It looks super aggressive at the front which I love! Also do you have the regular seats with heating and cooling? Thanks again!
I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I plan on making a video each year I own the Mach 1. The lower front splitter is part of the handling package that was available on the Mach 1. I added the side winglets myself. They are a GT 500 style winglet, I made a video showing the installation, along with the side rocker extensions. I like the look of those add ons. My car has the regular cloth seats. However heated and cooled leather seats were available as an option. If you are looking for a uses Mach 1, be aware that you can find them with the options you are looking for, it'll just take being selective and some time. But the right car is out there. You might even find a new 2023 Mach 1 somewhere. As nice as the new S650 cars are, there is no way I would trade mine on one. I simply don't care for the dashboard and the screens that are all over the place in the new cars. I also prefer the styling of the Mach 1 and the S550 cars over the new generation. It's a personal preference. I hope I've been help to you and that you find the right car for yourself. Cheers! 👍👍
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking time out to tell me all this! I’m taking my time, there are a few Mach 1s on the market but I’m not in a super hurry, so going to take my time and wait till the right one appears! Also I agree with you re the tech … I like a little but prefer it to be just that… thanks again!
@robertorevillalondon you're welcome! I hope you find the right Mach 1 for you. When you do, you'll know it's the one for you, and for sure you will enjoy it the way I do mine. 👍👍

fun is subjective; so how can one person tell another what is more fun?? i might find fishing to be fun and another might see it as boring; this is what's really silly about these debates. real car enthusiasts don't disrespect a person's car because of a transmission type.
I've driven both types of transmissions in the Mach 1. They are both fun in their own ways. I generally ignore the negative comments and enjoy my car as it is. The reality is that not many people making negative comments actually own a Mach 1 with either transmission type. Also, yes I find fishing very boring too. 🤣👍👍
my grandpa has one it’s an alright car it’s nice and all but the FWD limits the V8 capabilities and bro has an oil leak that can only be fixed if you pull the entire motor out ☠️
It's a fact that earlier Northstar engines had problems. They pulled the threads on the head bolts, and had oil leaks between the engine block and crankcase. I had a 1999 STS and I did pull the engine out to fix all that stuff. By 2005/06 for the most part the Northstar was a much more reliable engine. Not to say that some didn't leak oil or have other problems. My "new to me" DTS has over 122,000 miles on it. The engine is dry, no leaks and the heads have never been off of it. I'll drive this big old boat for as long as possible. If something goes wrong, I'll likely fix it. Cars like this aren't being made any longer. Kind of a shame, because it's a really nice car. 👍👍
@@lilredcrvtt Head bolt issues were fixed for good in the second half of the model year 2004. The oil leak issues persisted right thru till the end of the Northstar run.

Exactly my thoughts. The auto is quicker shifting too. I drive my car in heavy traffic at times, the auto makes the drive way more enjoyable for me. After owning a 2019 GT convertible with the 10R80, buying the Mach 1 with the auto was the only logical choice. 👍👍

Thanks for the video, much appreciated. I also have the tire pressure warning on the dash. How to replace the batteries for the tire pressure sensors to make the warning sign disappear? And where is the tire pressure sensor? Thanks!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The tire pressure sensors are part of the air valve in the rim. I've found out that the air valve needs to be replaced, the battery can't be replaced on it's own. If you have the warning light on your dashboard, as I do, you likely need to take your car to a tire shop. They can determine which sensor is not functioning. Then they would remove the wheel and separate the tire from the rim to replace the air valve/tire pressure monitor sensor assembly. It's not usually very expensive to have a new sensor installed. I'll be doing mine soon. Hope you have success having yours repaired too! 👍👍
@@lilredcrvtt Thanks 😊 so much for the information! You know what, I now live in Taipei, Taiwan. Local dealer just gave me a quote of around USD 160 per sensor!! Maybe I should ask a workshop to bypass the whole thing, because such a function, albeit nice, is not much used.

Maybe one day I'll have the cash and be able to find one with next to no mileage on it... just maybe.
Thank you! Yes it's Velocity Blue. Only one year, the 2021 Mach 1 had that colour. The 10R80 is an amazing transmission! I've heard of supercharged and twin turbochargered Mach 1s with the stock 10R80 running with no issues. Hopefully you will have your Mach 1 one day soon. They really are great machines! 👍👍👍
I personally like both . If we were back in the 80’s or 90’s I’d call you a fool for going auto but man these autos today are crazy fast. They shift so quick and are tons of fun. nice stang brotha!
Thank you! I agree with you. If it were 30 or 40 years ago, then it would have been a manual transmission as my choice. No doubt. Back then the automatic transmission didn't perform as they do now. 👍👍
@@lilredcrvtt I totally agree
When I was buying my mach 1 I wanted to get it with manual then I drove the auto. I was in love down shift so good. Seems like you’re driving a Porsche. Plus you can’t neaver win people you buy what you like.
Exactly! Buy what you want and enjoy! It's hard to beat the automatic though! 👍👍
Awesome enjoy your ride Also, how are your tires holding up after you change them does the car drive different without the cup 2 tires? I was thinking to change mine to 4 s or continental tires do u car trimline right to left with the new tires?
@@harpritsingh2947 the Cup 2s are great on the track. But, the 4S tires definitely make a huge difference. The car doesn't tramline anymore and overall handles as good as with the Cup 2s when driven hard. The move to the 4S is definitely a good choice! 👍
@@lilredcrvtt thanks for the info
Would love to see a demo video of how it runs, throws snow and idles now after the rebuild. Nice work! I'm super impressed. I don't think I would have the patience to put that much tlc into an older unit like that. Kudos to you!
Thank you! I enjoyed rebuilding that older snow thrower. It has been used many times this winter by one of my kids. It runs great and works as good as new. If we have anymore significant snow, I'll attempt to get some video of it running and clearing the snow. 👍👍
Love manual! All the way up until you get into that bumper to bumper traffic. I went with the automatic and haven't looked back.
Very well stated! I had manuals too. But the daily driving I do with my car makes the automatic the best possible choice! 👍👍👍
I have a 2010 gt500 in manual and honestly I love that auto box. I wish I could have had that because manuals are old school that’s all. Autos are the future. Way better, smoother, faster and much more fun with downshifts etc. love your car, it’s an amazing machine 👍👍👍
Thank you! I can hardly wait to drive my car when the roads are salt/sand free and it's spring in my area. The 10R80 is an excellent match for the 5.0 in my Mach 1. But, your GT500 is also an amazing car too! The manual in your car is also excellent! The automatics back in 2010 were not as good as they are now. I have a 2002 Camaro SS with a 6 speed manual, and for its time the manual was the way to go. 👍👍
The problem is that 10spd has a lot of problems maintaining it sucks so manual for the piece of mind
I've had three 10R80 transmission equipped vehicles. A 2019 GT, a 2021 Mach 1, and my daily driver 2018 F150. Never had one single issue with any of them. My F150 has over 174,000 kms (over 108,000 miles) and counting with zero issues. I did the transmission fliud and filter on my truck at 150,000 kms (93,000 miles), the fluid looked good and so did the filter. I don't see any problems maintaining the automatic transmission at all. There is no benefit from having a manual for me. As a side note, I would have bought my Mach 1 regardless of which transmission it had. After driving both transmissions in the Mach 1 on the track, I'd pick the automatic every time.
Hello, what do you think of the new Firestone tires? Any issues with tramlining on the highway where the car starts following the grooves in the road and starts feeling light and darty? I have an 02 SS rag top with 35,000 kilometers ( I know... not 4,300 kilometers like yours) but still very low kilometers for the year. GM dealer tells me the alignment is spot on within the manufacturer's specs and the entire front end is tight with no play in the components. Car is not fun when starting to veer into next lane at highway speeds with ruts in the road. So this leaves me with a decision about what brand of tire to try next??
Thank you for your question. I have driven about 1100 kms on the Firestone Indy tires. They have been a very good tire, as they have a softer compound. I suspect they will wear more quickly than another tire might. I haven't noticed much, if any tramlining with these tires. But, to be fair, I really haven't driven the car very much during the last season. In my experience, a softer compound tire wil give more road feel, which could be interpreted as tramlining when used in a daily type driving experience. If you do a lot of that type of driving, it may be a good idea to compare the Firestone tires to other brands that have a different tread design and a higher tread life. In one of my other videos, I compare the Michelin Cup 2 tires that came original equipment on my Mustang Mach 1 to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The 4S tires completely eliminated the tramlining I experienced with the softer, track only Cup 2 tires that came on the car as new. I hope I've been of some help. Selecting tires is often a complex process to ensure you have a satisfactory experience with your particular car. Cheers! 👍
I appreciate your reply and just keep your SS! If you do decide to try and sell again you can never been in a rush to sell a collector or specialty type car. There is always a genuine buyer out there that is serious and is aware of what you have and is fully versed on asking prices for that caliber of car they are looking for in the CURRENT economic marketplace. Unfortunately you usually have to sift through and filter through many insincere prospect buyer's that don't really have an intention to or aren't in the position to complete a sale regardless of the price point. There are dream buyer's on every level for every vehicle out there. LOL There is always that RIGHT qualified buyer that eventually comes along and legitimately wants your car without making all the excuses for not wanting to buy the car providing the price is within reason. Just my 2 cents on buyer's and selling.
@annebrill485 you are correct! I am in no particular rush to sell my car. I did have some negative experiences when I tried to sell my car last year. There is a buyer for my car out there somewhere. I have been contacted by two potential buyers recently. One of them was what I considered a serious buyer from last summer. My car is still on their radar. The other potential buyer also spent a great deal of time discussing the car with me last fall. I feel it'll only be a matter of time before my car finds a new home. That's a pity, because I've actually grown to really enjoy and appreciate my car. Only time will tell if I sell my car. In the meantime, I'll plan to enjoy it this upcoming season. The 4th gen Camaro is truly on of the last of a type of car of which we likely will never see in the future. There is a visceral connection between the car and driver, that in many ways, is missing in newer cars. Enjoy you car every chance you have, they really are incredibly great!
We are a Camaro family with a second gen, a fourth gen and a fifth gen ZL1 Ragtop so I fully understand and we have a connection to all of them. I will admit though that I would have thought that these Catfish 4th gens would be pulling higher values by now so maybe they are just late bloomer classics that will gain in popularity again and increase in value in the future. I will keep an eye on your future content. Cheers!! @@lilredcrvtt
Great video and subscribed. Enjoy the content format. How well you documented it. Hopefully you keep at making videos.
Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed my video! I'm planning on making more videos in the future. Thanks again and much appreciated! 👍👍
A Garage Kept Red T- Top Chevy V-8 will sell itself, you were unlucky not to find the right buyer. You are Discouraged about that but the secret to success is Persistence, Patience and a little perspiration.
You are correct. I'm a bit discouraged by the way it all went. I've been rethinking the situation. I'm hoping for a fresh perspective and better results this upcoming spring. Thank you for your kind words of inspiration. I appreciate it! 👍👍👍
Sorry man… but if it was a GT ok… but that Tremec man… I mean that’s the whole point, still a great car though
I've driven both Tremec and automatic Mach 1s on the track. Sure, the Tremac is "fun" shifting it up and down. But it will never beat the 10R80, whether in a straight line or road course. That's the facts. I do have a Tremac equipped Camaro if I really want to shift my own gears. However, I prefer the 10R80 equipped Mach 1 over it.
Those jerks at the stealership told me I wouldn't be able to do my own oil change which was bizarre. I got the car and did my own oil change. Lot of liars.
The "stealership" can be ridiculous! Unfortunately, dealing with them to buy a new car is a necessary evil. You are better off just doing what you know is best for you and your new car. I typically do more maintenance than what the manufacturer or dealer recommends. 👍
I had to do the same thing on mine at 8K miles. Replaced with an aftermarket 5 spoke pulley. Welded single piece
You did the right thing going with the 5 spoke pulley. I looked into that one but decided to go with the stock style pulley for the time being. If I make any mods to the engine, I'll likely be swapping out the one I am now running to the aftermarket style pulley. I'm not sure the O.E.M. pulley will last long.
