Bought, wrecked, rebuilding a 2009 LMM
- Thread starter malibu795
- Start date
I'm only ~5 months (started Christmas weekend) into the project, gues it's not that bad.Slowly but surely, Adam.
Well wrapped up my Malibu, for the most part.
Juggled the barn around, and this thing landed in the projet spot.
Mind has been running circles on what needs done, and what I want to do.
Transmission leaks,
Engine leaks either upper or lower oil pan area, I cleaned the valley out when it was on the floor.
Re-tubing the rear driveshaft with new u joints
Front rotors pads calipers
Shocks
Fan clutch
Headlights/grille
Belt, and related idlers and tensioner
Swap 125A to 160-170a alt,
Boost, EGT, EOT gauges and 3 spot pillar
Fleece high flow intake sending unit.
High flow CP3 supply
New batteries,
Wheels and tires, going 315/70/17, with either H2 17"x8.5" or GM 5 spoke 17*7.5"
body mounts
Thinking really hard on the BD 1032150 steering kit I don't know if it works with the cognito steering brace?
Cognito upper A-Arms
Then there build trans, left over parts from my LMM dually which includes .040 over 17.5 ovals, Hamilton camshaft, add rods, sportsman's CP3, head studs, build it around the GT4088R turbo I still have. Iirc max effort on that turbo is 625-650
4.10 or 4.30 gears with true trac in the rear diff
And hot/cold high flow intake with Y-bridge
Swap to 7 hole LBZ injectors
Upgrade balancer bolt, injector hold down, rocker arm shaft bolts
L5P oil cooler up grade

I have no experience with the BD stuff, but I don't see why it wouldnt work with those components.
