    Working out the kinks in solar system.

    You need to remove all connections from the negative terminals of the house batteries except for the battery side of the shunt and the wire connecting the two batteries together. Everything else can go to the chassis or the chassis side connection on the shunt. It doesn't really matter where.

    Working out the kinks in solar system.

    The shunt should be the only thing connected to the ground post of the house battery. All other connection go on the other side of the shunt. Otherwise your meter is not reading everything.

    Leaking air bag valves.

    You can get a push to connect splice. Air line is cheap though so maybe try to get it loose at the other end of the hose and just replace a section.

    Leaking air bag valves.

    That is a push to connect fitting. Push the collar on the back in towards the fitting and pull the hose out. Search for push to connect schrader valve. You can get new ones and trim the air line right behind the old fitting to get a clean cut. The new ones just push on.

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    It is most likely fluid coming out of the vent tube. This could be caused by several things. Most likely things are overfilled fluid or clogged cooler. Fluid probably got a little hot on the climb and vented out. It doesn't take much hitting the exhaust to make a lot of smoke. Also, check...

    Seeking Advice, Powertrax No-Slip in an Econoline Bus.

    A lunchbox locker in a long, heavy rig is barely noticeable. That being said I wouldn't spend extra for the Powertrax over the other auto lockers. I have one in my Astro and while it is the quietest auto locker I've had, it is also the least predictable. I also currently have vehicles with...

    FUSO FG cab extension - any thoughts? (2004)

    I don't currently have insurance on mine. I bought it last year and used it when I had to move my shop (its a box truck). Haven't really got into building it yet. Anyway I'm on the north side of downtown Greenville, 1106 Poinsett Hwy. If you ever want to swing by my shop and talk about FGs just...

    FUSO FG cab extension - any thoughts? (2004)

    Maybe check busbee's for an original seat and try that. Or maybe some other seat that occupies less space. My FG is older but the seats are pretty minimal. I'm 6'4" and I fit okay but I also haven't driven mine much or any kind of distance. It does seem like it would be pretty easy to bump out...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    Those Moog control arms won't help your ball joint angle. They just have offset bushings to allow more camber adjustment. I think the other ones you posted are $320 for a pair.

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    Has anyone done anything on the interior door handle pull (armrest) to make it more comfortable for leaning on? The plastic feels a little rough on the elbow after a few hours of driving. I have an 06 Savana. It's cargo van but I don't think the higher trim level passenger vans were any...

    FOUND Vans For Sale!

    Looks like a good one to me. A desert (non rusted) Quigley express is pretty hard to find. 4.8 easily swapped for a 6.0 later if you want more power.

    FOUND Vans For Sale!

    Looks like a Quigley emblem on RR door. Can't tell what the red logo is either. That's a Quigley shifter and light on the dash. Seems like incorrect VIN. I would get seller to verify VIN.

    2001 Chevrolet Astro AWD just 130k- $3900

    Astros have 8 feet in the back as in sheets of plywood fit in with the doors closed. Seems like a fair price on this van. If it was a cargo van I probably would be on it.
