****, never ask this guy for a jump.

I bet you could fix that for $91.97.

try one of the batterys on sale at your local auto place.

a 1050 cranking amp battery, with 160minute reserve, biggest they have, that would fit. Im not battery expert, but I think the battery reserve number is the most important, some are in the 70-90 range. The battery is $79.99, a terminal, $6.99, and the piece of metal form home depot is $4.99 for a battery hold down.

Just mount on the air intake. You will get better power for more dbzz too.

Don't drop anything down in those intake ports or you will have a blown up engine.

This is almost as funny as that kid that did an engine flush in his cobra.

ya, just get a new alt. that should fix it.

What are you talkin about man that alt looks perfectly fine no need to change it... If any thing it would have gained more power:2thumbs:

Post skim.. was that a 3.8? Lol that blows pretty hardcore man. Never thought I'd see a melted intake

 

[ezekial130 10+ year member]

yeah 3.8 i believe.

im just worried i'm going to waste my money fixing it and then something dumb will happen like the whole electrical is fried. how the hell can i get this tested?

and when i take the time i'll post pics of said jumper cables.

What happened with the kid and the cobra?

 

[Torgus 10+ year member]

uhh i wouldn't fix it. basically you need a whole harness which is a pain, new alt, new IM, new Batt, + misc items.

i'd buy another car.

you're going to be dumping over a grand into it easy.and if the IM melted it def got into the intake runners which means a tear down, which you should probably do anyways.

I'd trash the car...

Grand Ams **** ***!!!

GF has a 99, you have to REMOVE the motor mount to replace the belt! WTF?!?!?!?!
