What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]

It's was registered and driving here in ga, land of no inspections.

No inspections back in MI either and I'm sure someone back home there would have proudly rocked that heap.

They do sometime up in Metro Atlanta, maybe a couple times a year, them a little more often in the northern mountains.

A little salt does a lot of damage, especially in warmer temps.

It held strong at #3. Only 2 mounts still attached, front to rear.

#1s missing. #2s rotted out, one fell and gone, one collapsed inside frame. #3s intact but squashed. #4s had no metal left attaching to body. #5s flattened. #6s fell out, gone. #7s fell out, gone.

Should have taken it to an autocross event to see if you could have separated the body and frame.

Did that in the yard. Logging chains hooked to the 8.1 yukon took care of that experiment. After front clip removed of course. Was salvaging body panels off this turd.

Spent a few hours installing a new made in china champion rad, with an admittedly cool cap. Also installed bilstein shocks (hardware for the front was wrong, thanks Germany) and el camino spec (i think, might have been wagon) springs. Raised the rear a good inch and a half to two inches. It'll settle, but i like the rake it has now. before it was full on *ss down face up after the GN spec springs settled.

Went through the process I had planned and it did it again, talked to tech after data logging and they didn't want to see it because they say they think running the power all the way to the trunk for a direct connection to the battery will fix it. Their other guess is if multiple connections are run to the same accessory that it may drop and cause problems, they suggest running a direction connection with its own relay

Probably not the case for you, but I bet they get calls from fools all day long with jankety installs and no clue how to tune crying foul on good systems so they're going to run you through the ringer before caving. When I look at it that way, I can't say I'd do any different in their shoes.

Yeah I get it, I wasn't even mad about it on the phone. When I got off the mechanic was like whaaaaat this is some bs they are running you through again, I said no I get it def said to run it direct to a battery but that isn't an easy solution so before I go that route I am connecting it to a jump pack

The Holley stuff they are big on running power for the ecm straight to the battery. Many people on the facebook pages have fixed their problems by doing that. Holley is really picky on its power source. I ran my car with an intermittent alt problem, any time my Voltage dropped under 11.8 it ran like crap. missing, bogging, crazy AFR. It would still start and run but terribly, as soon as voltage was 11.9 or higher it was perfect.
