PLugs n wires, Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

[Archer]

yeah... i decided to tackle the plugs and wires myself right... uh huh.. my poor hands.. im not even going to try to get the plugs out, but i did look at my wires and yeah, they are fried... well not all of them just 2. the back ones wernt that bad to take off, they just didnt want to come off. the middle one on the passenger side came right off, but what a pita to put back on, and the front ones came off with no problems at all. can not believe it took me 1 hour to take 3 wires off and back on. the driver side... #3 wire didnt want to come off at all, so i had to cut it, but here comes the task of putting back on.. Someone pray for me... i just might have to cry...

whoever said its an act of god to do it yourself in your driveway thats on a 35 degree incline... yeah.... i dont even think god can do this job in my driveway... and all i am using is the factory jack... Yeah im a poor white guy in the army... lol

but i do want to thank everyone that gave their 2 cents on how to do this, I'm bowing to you. You probably have done the hardest jobs on the camaro... why cant the 3.8 be as easy as the 5.7?

Thanks

NEVER EVER get under your car with just a factory jack always ALWAYS use jackstands.. I'll send youa picture of my jack that snapped while I was under my car.. 3500 lbs on my head would have = ouch + death .. Now, go buy jackstands!

[Tyler]

yea.. i ditched the factory jack. and bought 4 jackstands..and a nice floor jack.. and rino ramps are the ****.

now that i have all the proper tools. i can do plugs and wires in just under half an hour. its sooo easy with headers [img]smile.gif[/img]

ive seen factory jacks colapse while tires were being changed. do not get under there man, please. go to walmart and buy some 10 dollar stands.

Find a few 2X4's, brick, or cinder blocks laying around base and put them under there so if that crapy jack fails it will give you enough time to get the hell out LOL

$2 an hour you can't afford? You must REALLY be broke! I could have PayPal'd you the safety and saved you trouble..
