    Parasitic draw 2000 LS 3.9

    I've battled this on my LS since I bought it. Originally, it was as high as 4 amps. Pulling the interior light fuse reduced that to around 370 ma after the car sits an hour and goes to sleep. Still too high and still making my battery weak if its not driven in a day or so. Using the millivolt...

    1'' lowering springs. Camber questions.

    Installed 1'' lowering springs and new suspension parts and went to get an alignment and was told I would need camber bolts front and rear. 2000 LS 3.9.

    Rear axle question

    Will Gen2 axles work on a Gen1 ? I'm aware they have different part numbers and slight difference in length 31 3/16 vs 31 22/32. Has anyone done the swap ?

    Are 3.9 Camshaft Bearing Caps Bolts TTY ?

    Anyone know if the camshaft bearing cap bolts are torque to yield type ? I snapped one re-torquing them to 53 inch pounds, but have a feeling the wrench I borrowed, cheap Harbor Freight, was way out of calibration. I was lucky that it snapped inside the cap and could be easily threaded back out...

    Aftermarket PWM Fan Controller

    Varies power to fan as temp rises vs only wide open and off operation. Kinda pricey, but best option when converting the GEN 1 to an electric fan IMO. Can handle 65 amp loads. Continues to run even after engine is shut off to get temps down. I think paired with a low amp fan would be ideal...
