What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2022]

[Built6spdMCSS]

Got under mine and attempted to level it out side to side. Left side is 1/2" lower than the right side. I shimmed the drivers side Coil Spring on the Axle 1". It is what it is. Whole rear is about 1/2" lower than before with the new UMI Springs. Solid Body Bushings raised everything up a little bit so I did get a drop over all.

Next weekend I'll drop the front so it'll have a rake to it, it'll look better.🤘

Face down @SS up.🥳

Welp, of course napa reman alternator took a massive steamy liquid sh*t, random voltage spikes of a few days (no money atm for a new one), then it would be fine, then random spikes upto 15-16v, now nothing. Battery drains as the car is running. My trusty ancient 10si is also dead. I have a cs144 on order from ebay (it was cheaper than rockauto), so the regal is dead until then.c
Are all remans just hot garbage or are my 4th gen camaro fans, and 10" walmart sub just too much for the "94 amp" crap?

I've seen enough re-mans come back at the store that I would never buy one, even with the warranty.

Maybe you have something else that is killing the alt n battery. A bad battery doesn't help either.

Got the front end in primer!

Probably a bit of both, electric fans draw a lot of amps at start up and a good amount when running, I have a Mechman 170 amp on the Regal and the Monte has a DC Power 180 amp, both work well.
My charging issues were from lack of output amps at idle with my accessories on and both these alternators do a great job but you get what you pay for.
My DC Power was made to order but the Mechman I bought through Summit.

Finished the front end paint work and re-assembly. Also, upgraded the headlights (thanks Dixie). This winter I hope to finish the painting of the rest of the car!

Finished the CS144 swap. Good stuff. Fans on full beans, headlights on, 5-600rpm in gear, still over 12 volts.

Finally put the TES Y pipe back on today after waiting for replacement exhaust doughnuts to arrive from Rockauto. Still was a mess to put back on as one of the flange bolt holes required retapping the threads. Used all new bolts, copper RTV, and anti seize.

 

[Cauterize]

Used it as a table.
Need to get the deer in my garage butcher up before I can do anything else at this point.
