    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    As I understand it they are totally different chassis. The AWD models are torsion bar front suspension and the rwd models are coil spring front suspension. That being said I have not been underneath of a 1500 RWD (do they exist?) to confirm that those are coil spring. I do know that the...

    Wall-mounted vent fan options

    It works great. I have a Maxxair mounted vertically in the back window opening of my 2010 Savana. No issues. Previously had a fantastic fan in the same location until the threads on the opener stripped out. Those are garbage. Don't bother. I have one in my new truck camper build it's...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    Anything is possible with enough time and money. However the chassis is completely different, the AWD models are torsion bar vs the 2wd being coil spring front spring.

    The great white fun hog (another white GM awd build)

    Thanks. I agree with your valuation, that is kinda what I had in mind. But it's always nice to bounce it around. Honestly I'm torn. If I sell it for $15k I don't know what I would buy that would be half way as useful. But I also don't need two fully built camper rigs that get sub 15mpg parked...
