Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

actually for the gxp its normal. mine isnt the only one that always maintained that. at a couple meets ive been to with other gxp owners their was around 14.8 to 15.3 as well. and a guy who lives a minute from here his stays around 15 also. but 12.8 is definately low while car is on
 
Installed the fuel pump rewire. Was glad to see it actually jumped up the fuel pressure at the rail. used to be 41-42psi, now it's 45-46psi.

Buttoned up the cam install. Bled the cooling system, etc.

DirtDog--

I've had no problems with Wal-Mart batteries so long as you make sure it's a Johnson Controls battery, not an Exide battery. Same five year warranty that any other battery maker these days have.

If you have $200, buy an Optima redtop. You'll never have a starting problem again.
 


Drove it up to schedule my classes for next semester. I'm taking Intro to Auto service, Steering & Suspension systems, Auto Electrical systems 1, and Automatic Transmission systems. Then I stood in the parking garage yelling at the stupid car because it wouldn't start.. again..
 
My belt is pretty cracked.

Yeah it's pretty bad for a belt that isn't even original, out impala with the same miles and one year newer has the oem belt that looks better than this. Don't buy cheap serpentine belts guys.

Since it doesn't make any noise I've been slacking off to change it, but at work a car came in with no serpentine belt attached and the owner brought it to show us, it snapped on it's own while he was driving, and it was only a little more dry rotted than mine. I'm going to buy the best one I can, a goodyear gatorback.

So what you are saying is that you are going to be trained to break stuff? Let us know when you land a job in a garage so we can go elsewhere lol :th_nanana:
 
I texted Dan earlier and told him what I was taking. Then told him I'm learning how to break more stuff now lol. He said maybe I'd learn not to break stuff but that's no fun..
 
well this is last night lol but i guess it counts lol. I got my fuel pump in and running perfect at 40-42 psi with fluctuations due to injectors firing order.
 


^^ and that cost more. you end up buying the same tool over and over again it really sucks. I have been luck to only break 3 tools. now breaking bolts my total is about 50 lol
 
how do you guys break bolts? my friend the bolt snapper, i make a bolt tight, hes like go more, im like its good, so he makes it tighter, and snap every time. i dont get some people at all lol
