yeah somewhere in the past I recall a guy posting about taking it out back and putting multiple rifle rounds through the thing. What I find humorous is in working under my 9-5 is the ducting going to the battery, that wasn't there in my 1999 but on my 2004, undoubtedly something GM cooked up to try and limit warranty exposure on battery failures.
The coils themselves are the predominant cause of DIC failure and I would tend to believe coating them with grease isn't going to make a rat's ass worth of difference, but opening the hood to facilitate cooling in the summer heat might and it probably does help with extending battery life.
