Kids, its the 21st century. We don't cut rotors on high performance cars anymore. They're made only for single use. Cutting them just makes them warp again faster and soak heat faster under heavy use. Giant waste of time. Spend the money and do it right. Plenty of options.
You should not pump the clutch to bleed it,s not like the breaks ...you need to push down hold then open nipple , close then repeat until new fluid comes out,
so i just bought a 2015 370 nismo, drove it home from PA to NH and it was fine the entire time 3 days later i go to the gym and it starts but the dash board is all black odometers black gauges black needles not moving. and it works i get to the gym leave im almost home then the gas just doesn't work. but the car doesn't shut off? but then when i manually shut it off it wouldn't start without a jump. got a new battery turned right on but same issue, dash black gauges black won't turn on. was able to drive it all day then gas gave out again by the end of the night. i'm thinking it just needs a new alternator??? i dont know tho
Awesome video. Went with the Superior Solutions Sure Cool STL010. What a difference!! So, question. My level on my dipstick fully warmed at a fluid temp of 150 is at top dot on the stick. I see yours is right in the middle between the two dots. Am i overfull? 2020 5.3 Suburban. Thanks in advance.
hello, thank you for the video. I am French and I also need to replace the radiator on my C63. So if I understand correctly, it is possible to remove the radiator without removing the condenser? thanks again.
@@burgerbuilds Thank you for the answer ! Same for me, I would like to avoid draining the air conditioning gas. But in the official Mercedes procedure it is compulsory to remove the condenser. Thanks again, I'll try to do like you.
Many thanks for this. In the middle of this job now and probably would’ve given up getting that radiator out if I hadn’t seen this. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more difficult time freeing a part from a car. Was it as bad going back in as coming out?
Hi Craig, glad to here it. I struggled as well and never thought it would be that difficult without taking the complete front end off. Putting it back in was relatively straight forward, you got this 🙏🏼
I don't know if "unpacking" the airbag for cosmetic reasons is smart.. i mean the cushion is folded in special way to unfold later.. now it is not any more
The cushion was not touched or unpacked, it stays packed as factory intends it to be as you can see in the video. When ordering a new or replacement airbag that is exactly how they come
Did the sure cool and mishimoto transmission cooler in my 2014 silverado 1500 and my temps never went over 130. Been through 2 or 3 winters now with both sure cool and mishimoto cooler. Just curious if running temps between 100-130 hurt anything besides frequent fill up at the pump.
Nice! Honestly since I live in the desert where we deal with summer outside temps of 122 degrees Fahrenheit, our winter never get that cold so I don’t have to deal with those issues, from experience the biggest enemy to transmissions is heat which burns out the clutch plates which I’m sure don’t mind cold temps, the remaining components such as the valve body and torque converter are not cold sensitive either so I think we’re good
@burgerbuilds thanks for the insightful info. Heard different info from numerous people stating that these particular trucks need to be at operating temp around 180. I agree on heat being a transmission enemy for sure. I also noticed it shifts smoother ever since I've changed all fluids to Amsoil. Next is the HP tune on the torque converter, turning off all slips. Thanks again.
@@viixiconik yes I agree you can’t run them too cold, but I’ve had numerous 6L80s from previous Generation trucks that did not have the thermostat yet and they ran at 130 degrees stock with a cooler, had a supercharged 6.2 running through a stock 6l80 for years never had an issue. Yes HP tuners is what I use as well, get the shifts crisp
I am stuck sliding the radiator in. Taking it out was hell people. I don’t advise anyone doing this yourself. Give the job to someone else that will go through the struggle
@brgrbuilds that purple wire on the alternator mine snapped all I can find online are black red and green I cannot find a purple to splice back in is there a alternative ?
Where did u get the plastic repair bro I never knew they can change the plastic, my radiator burst on the plastic I already bought and installed the new one on my car but still have the old one, what’s the name of the repair shop u had yours done at
Sorry for the late response, luckily we have radiator specific repair shops here in the UAE, so I brought it to one of them and they replaced it. I used to also keep buying new radiators until I realized you can replace the side housing, save a lot of money
