Well, got the alternator tested today, and sure enough, it's kaput. Getting and installing a new one tomorrow.

In the meantime, I bought these tonight:

Nice Peter! I love my drilled eBay brakes - they improve the look greatly, Just don't expect any noticeable gains in braking performance

well if you note, the fronts are LS1-spec so there will indeed be an improvement in braking performance haha

oooh i don't like how they slit and cut those, i like the Every other slot style, thats 2 cuts then a slit.

either way, the front rotors and pads just came in the mail today too! I'm amazed how fast they shipped, I just bought them Tuesday or Wednesday.

picked up spindles in Madison Heights yesterday. Now all I need is the caliper rebuild parts that are on order from the dealer that I'll be picking up tomorrow. Install will happen this weekend.

change of plans The dealer I ordered the caliper rebuild kits from didn't get them today like they told me they would, so there goes any hope of getting the brake work done this weekend. Looks like it's not happening until July now...

damn

so the parts came in today, and guess what? they weren't what I needed I went to O'Reilly, walked in with the caliper in hand, showed them what I needed, and they ordered it for me right away. I'm an idiot, I should've done that right away.

[alone_and_insane]

so after being at work in Arizona for the last week and a half, I went back to the O'Reilly yesterday on my way back to WI to pick up the parts. Apparently, they send the parts back if you don't pick them up within 6 days. So I said fine, I'll order it from an O'Reilly in WI. So I stopped into the nearest location, and it turns out they can't order the parts, they don't stock from the same warehouses. So now I'm up the creek. Again.
