Grape Ape Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thought I'd try and lose a little weight to the C5. Tell ya what, it's really not a fun job. Needs to be done but I'll be paying someone if there's a next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Great time to detail the front of the engine compartment. Water pump took a $hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 I did clean and nope. AC Compressor took a shit so I put in a new aluminum radiator, new water pump and condenser while it was all torn apart. Not really as fun as I envisioned...😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 I also ditched those damn braided hose covers. Really a pain when one needs to work around them. Now just have the black silicone hoses. Looks better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Okay, here ya go. I still need freon in it so that's going to classic when they have time. As long as there's no leaks it should be easy for them. I installed new O rings in all the right places. I'm going to leave the fuel rail covers off until after it's serviced in case they need to work on anything. It's all back together and running well again.

Grape Ape Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 🤔👍Do they have any openings in stores? Being a mechanic there isn't much fun anymore. 5 more years and I'm done, whether I can afford it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Got my AC charged this morning at classic. Works great with no leaks. I have a good operating AC system again and I'm happy. Bring on da heat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I know, right! I think I'll just keep my trap shut and try to fly under the radar for the next few years. 5 more and done, whether I can afford it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
