What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

I stripped down the GN axle. It's off to the sandblaster Friday morning. Once it's back and painted, I can think about $400 of new ring and pinion plus installation kit.

I finally put the restored passenger side power seat track in. Works great and looks like new.

Tried to finish puttin new motor mounts in and watched horrified as the jackstands sank into the ground

modified the rear seat frame to fit around my mini tubs, then just starred at it for a while Happy to have it back on the ground, been a long time coming.

And the kids are happy, so its a go!

Left it in the Garage because it finally froze over in Hell....LOL

As much I hate to say it..... "take that" :lol: it was -8 on 12-31 with a windchill of -12 damn fuel gelled up in my GMC Duramax! filter was new as of 11-14 and fuel was conditioned! too boot the block heater cord self destructed on Monday!, had to steal my girls ride get to work and jumpstart, change filters on a crapload of refuse trucks! Spent new years day changing my filter and getting my truck ready for work today! Now I know it's not as cold as Alaska but this crap sucks!

are you going to weld the axle tubes to the center section? I plan on doing it when I rebuild my 442 8.5 with a 30 spline trutrac..

I replaced my leaking valve cover gaskets on my 307. Pain in the but with all the emissions crap. Luckily I started the removal process. I removed the AIR pump and brackets and all the hoses attached. Still have the check valves off the converter and AIR tubes off the manifolds. That will come soon

 

[ssn696]

I thought the center section was cast iron and not weld-able, but then again, I know the tubes are plug-welded after pressing, so maybe I'll give it a shot. I got a deal on an Auburn limited slip for a 1988-1998 10 bolt truck axle (542-022), with side gears for 30-spline axles. Moser or Superior offers 30-spline axle shafts for the GN application. I researched R&P installation kits and the one I chose lists both the 8.5 Regal and the aforementioned half-ton truck model years. So - fingers crossed - it will drop in. Going with 3.73s when the piggy bank gains back a little weight after the holidays. I have to cut the brake tabs down and redrill to fit the Camaro backing plates, then bomb the whole thing with POR-15.
