Bought new alternator TYC from rockauto. with a volt meter, I checked for voltage at the alternator B+. it charges at 14.2 when reved to 3000 rpm then it gets to idle, it remains at 14.2.
I like Bosch Icons
Had 4600s on my 93 k1500, and they were great until they wore out.
I run a cooler NGK plug in my boost increased and tuned ZR1 making 730 horsepower. They have been flawless and lead the market in the LS world also.
I put the Excel-G's on my girlfriend's Trailblazer last year. They're better than the worn-out OEM suspension, and they were really cheap.
- Oil: Mobil 1 full synthetic extended mileage, 5W-30, both cars
- Brake: Motul 5.1 for the buick, Motul RBF600 for the vette
I always liked the Monte Carlo SS. While not a great car stock. It can be made into a fun car over time with out to big a hit at any one point. Poly graphite bushishings, Springs, kyb gas adjust or better shocks, fast ratio box, and add in some sway bars. You fixed the suspension issues that are most glaring with out extensive testing or work. The brakes you can add better calipers for decent grip, and finish it off with rotors/pads.
We have a set of Sunny tires on our 98 Cavalier 4dr auto. (Used as summer only). Also a dedicated set of Cooper winter tires. As a summer only tire they have been fine for the last ~60,000km+ and the only reason for buying them is they were cheap, the car is old and getting pretty high in mileage. Wasn't sure how long it would last to be honest. It has surprised me and I figure the next set I buy will be a brand name all season for the summer only to have the car inevitably crap out shortly after.
My mom had a 93 Lumina Euro sedan with the 3.8. The only real serious issue it had was a failed alternator which drained the battery and almost left me stranded one night because the headlights dimmed to the point of being unusable. Other than that, yes the alignment was poor and it had some bad brake wear and warping of the rotors.
I had bad luck with mine on my Silverado.... the sidewalls seemed weak to me. I had much better luck with Nitto Terra Grapplers.
