There’s always that one car… this was that car for me. Tucked away in the shop of the local Corvette guru was this 2004 Chevy Corvette Z06 that Procharger used to develop it’s kit for the platform. The car was previously featured in Vette magazine when the kit was complete, then tucked away for years. On the way home from LS Fest it started to make a pretty horrible noise, then it got to the point that I had to park the car. I’ve only driven it a couple thousand miles total and it’s making a noise that’s absolutely unbearable.

U need to keep the zo6 and lose the white pos vette
JR living the life. Selling an awesome Z06 because it has a noisy tensioner. Here I am frustrated with a coolant leak on my 2000 Grand Caravan.
How much are you selling it for ? I'm looking to buy a car to build with my 2 young boys . I have a limited budget but would be very interested
He must not have bought it I seen it in the garage.
i like that Jaguar ,that's the most interesting British car I've seen on this channel
It is a GM what do you expect.
You didn't sell it? Because it's outside your house, then the same vehicle is inside the garage. Confusing 😕
When you gonna get the jetski/moped cross going? Lol
A GM car broken? Impossible.
Holy crap, your into bikes also? Wow!
How much do you want for the Z06?
Map gas is the hero of the day, like 20 seconds of map and those boys will fall in , no stress on the bearings
Us bike guys want some pedal content!
Thank-you for vids as life is coming to end, nice to see nice cars and working on them.
Hey JR, do you have MTB Parks in Kansas. I thought it was very flat around Wichita?
As a guy that put himself through college wrenching on bicycles, I approve of your fleet.
jr some stole my specialized robaux i still have my cannon dale super sic
what no Timkin's…
Like I said. No you didn't. Stop that bad habit. However it has become a drinking game……
Why do you not ride your helix?
SKF are great bearings, but so are Koyo bearings. My Honda timing belt idler was koyo. It went 100K miles without a problem.
Good fix. Nice bikes. Pretty serious downhill machine
Speaking of the shop looking good: If you don't have the cash to replace the insulation, what about painting it? Could you rent a sprayer and just put a glossy white coat over the top?
skf is always the way to go… I may be bias though…
and the spezbike made my day!!!!!!
I remember chasing a similar sound in my old 1999 LS1 Camaro, it was mostly stock. Put a new idler pulley on it, genuine GM/Delco part, squeak/chirp went away for a few months, then came right back. Pissed, I started searching on LS1tech and found a thread about this problem. Turns out the factory didn't put enough grease into the bearings. There were pictures showing you how to take apart the pulley and put some good old wheel bearing grease in there. Took off my new pulley, sure enough that bearing race was almost dry, greased it, slapped it back on and it didn't squeak for the next 2 years I owned that car.
Here for the bike content! And old boats!
Z06s are like 3200 lbs
I come from a competitive cycling background and now in advancing age build high performance ebikes you can't buy at the bike shop. If you haven't ridden a 2000 watt ebike, you are missing out.
That Z06 was a very cool car and will be missed. As others have mentioned, Koyo is a reputable bearing supplier.
It’s a given everything fails eventually yet when it comes to a GM product the G stands for Garbage. This message has been brought to you but a former GM fan who’s owned numerous GM products over a period of 30 yrs. My family and I now drive Honda and Toyota products and no way will we ever purchase another GM product. So long GM RIP !!!
You have a downhill bike in Kansas?
Great video! Best OB2 scanner for under less than $100??? American brand cars. Clearest instructions.
I thought I could hear a faint squeak likely from somewhere else.
Your mountain bike has hydraulic brakes 🤘
