Thank you guys for ALL that info. Maybe not the right place for this much "tech"? Maybe mods make it a sticky? ...anyhow, I've bookmarked the page for future reference.



Thanks!

Thanks cdb95z28 for the answers especially the part about not running out of fluid when closing the bleeder. Wasn’t sure if the abs pumping would pump fluid out of the master if I close the bleeder. Interesting that you only leave the bleeder open for a few seconds. I may do that in the spring when I bleed my brakes again.

While the video I showed was for a 5th gen it wasn’t the video that made me question whether any aftermarket tools would work and do the correct sequence. It was the below threads. Multiple people have ordered these aftermarket tools in the past 1-1.5 years and reported 2 different issues. 1) it prompts you to bleed the front two wheels first and then the rear 2 wheels which is not the standard order 2) multiple people have said they seem to only pump the abs motor on the right side of the car.

Since you said to just follow what the tool says I will do that but I just think it’s strange that the order is not RR, LF, LR, RF on the tools anymore.

Yeah sorry didn’t mean to derail the thread, just figured I’d ask since someone else brought it up and it has been brought up before as you can see from the threads I added. I’ll stop posting here about bleeding brakes haha

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY FOXWELL NT630+. YES, THE ABS MOTOR DOES NOT RUN ON EVERY WHEEL......I WAS TOLD BY MY TWO INFORMED BUDDYS THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE ABS CIRCUITRY. SEND IT!!!! I HAVE AND MY PEDAL FEELS GREAT.

Since you said to just follow what the tool says I will do that but I just think it’s strange that the order is not RR, LF, LR, RF on the tools anymore. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY HERE EXCEPT GM'S OWN DIAGNOSTIC TOOL RUNS A DIFFERENT ABS BLEED SEQUENCE THAN THE REGULAR BLEED.......

SO MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS INCLUDING GM'S OWN BETWEEN THE TWO THREADS PLUS MY EXPERIENCES OF TWO TOOLS PLUS MY SOURCE INFO ALL HAD THE SAME RESULT. HMMMM. THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT, IT MUST BE CORRECT! BUY ANOTHER BRAND TOOL AND SEE HOW IT PERFORMS

Wasn't at all suggesting that anyone derailed. Just thought maybe the mods could sticky it somewhere else that could be easier found later. I've got it saved already, lol.

I was all ready to post the obligatory “Your coolant is low” but I see your a man of detail.

Think I misunderstood you earlier and didn’t realize that the actual GM tool goes in the same order as the aftermarket one. Thank you for confirming that and that the tool is only supposed to run the right side.

I like how these coil covers look a lot. Reminds me of the LT2 as I think they are red on that engine. Is it hard to get them off? Haven’t found a video for that. Would love to get mine painted as well.

I like your work on the engine cover pieces. I went a similar route. I went with Hyper Blue, silver and black as those are the colors I have on the exterior. Getting the coil covers off is easy. They just bolt on and the bolts are easy to get to. The covers also paint up well using rattle can paint of your color choice.

Color matched my LT2 cover with Shadow Grey, super easy to do to any of them. Previous LT1 was white
