Smart move getting a NEW frame. My brother-n-law put a junkyard frame under his Yukon after his wife wrecked it and come to find out it was "tweaked" as well. He had to basically do the job twice I'm sure it's hard to stay calm when you're looking at your truck that you've sunken' ten's of thousands of dollars and tons of time into and it's basically in pieces. At least you're getting it fixed, and fixed RIGHT! Looks like the old saying will be coming true, "What ever doesn't kill you (the truck in this case) will only make you stronger!!" Good luck guys.


Now what do you do about getting the thoughts of that new Z06 out of your mind

i told you before man i tried grounding it there already. that was the first placed i tried but still had voltage offsets. i grounded that ******* LC-1 a million times and just so happened that i gave up after connecting it to the firewall stud grounds. still get a voltage offset. quik is not touching my wideband wiring lol

sorry to hear about the wreck, looks like your truck is coming along nicely though, did you plan any extra mods during the rebuild?
