The Battery Chronicles The roads here are currently salt free. I put my Z under full coverage from storage so I could take it to the dealer for warranty work this morning, that's where it's at now.
Recently I discovered corrosion on the positive terminal and (after searching the forums) suspected another case of a shitty delco leaking again. But I returned to the dealer later on to retrieve my house keys off my ring. And the tech who had delt with it said it was the positive cable that had a gouge in it, near the terminal. He had cleaned away all the corrosion already, and so I could see what he was talking about. I dont know what would cause corrosion from a wire?
Hopefully the new cable will arrive tomorrow and when I get it home I'm going to pull the delco and probably aquire an optima red top. I asked what would be done about the area where some corrosion dripped on the metal below and he said he could put on some kind of undercoat or something. I plan on calling in the morning to have them go ahead and do this, whatever it is.
I thought I'd add this to the archives because it isnt exactly a case of another leaky delco.
Anyone who reads this post, I do have a question. As kind of a sleeper mod, what power gains could I see from a LS6 cam? I will also have a lid, catback and I'd get a tune with the cam, but I may just get a tune either way. I've got almost a year before warranty is up and I think no one would be the wiser if I had an LS6 cam installed and tuned at Speed inc.
