Looks like the lower control arm slid out. Either that or you destroyed your bushings and or ball joints. Were you able to drive it home?

And what have we learned?

Took a closer look after I got home, wasn't as bad as I thought when it came to the camber. I think it's only a smidge off. Everything looks to be in place when I took the pictures from below. uploadfromtaptalk1409745315467.jpg

Comparing your first pic to the second one. It looks like what ever moved, moved back. The first pic looks like it is way out there.

Filled it with gas and checked oil, transmission, power steering fluids. Want to make sure it is at least getting the same but hopefully better gas mileage.

When did you pick up the Voy? Hows the "new" engine?

Yesterday. So far so good. Smooth, etc but want to wait a few miles before full throttle.

From what I've read, you can get every possible sensor readout via OBD2 port but that's with a scanner. I'm assuming this gadget has some fancy software that can tap into those sensors and read the levels just like a scanner.

U can read shit tons of info on these. I love it!!! 0-60mph...air fuel ratio.....oil pressure.....coolant temp....anything the torque app does and a lot more. My obd2 adapter fried on me and won't connect with my phone anymore. So I got annoyed and bought the af gauge.

I've seen some images where folks have painted the cover over the intake manifold. Was thinking about doing that on my 4.2 in the GM red hue.

Suggestion on paint or type of paint?

I believe BlckShdw painted his silver along with a few other items under the hood. Put on a couple coats of adhesion promoter (for plastic), primer, paint, and then clear coat. Oe you could skip the primer and go from adhesion promoter, paint, then clear coat.
