    Anyone use their van as their primary commuter?

    I bought my Chevy AWD as both a trip and DD for me rig. Once I got the interior half built out my wife (and baby, and dog) claimed it instead. She only puts about 100-200 miles a week on it, but she won't drive anything else, so I ended up selling our Subaru.

    1500 AWD Post-lift alignment?

    Agreed on the Rough country UCAs. Other option is Camburg, but it looks like they are no longer making them for early Silverados. I prefer ball joints over uni-ball for DD's, and I haven't seen a ball joint version for Chevy. There are also ebay UCA's that I wouldn't trust. At least they...

    1500 AWD Post-lift alignment?

    Did anyone else out there have problems getting a good alignment after lifting your van? I'm at about 3+" lift with new keys and Bilsteins. In order to get the Toe and camber correct the caster was sacrificed and is just barely at +0.5 ish. The front end feels a little unstable at speed, but...

    Regretting my layout and sofa bed ,uuuugh

    If the whole rear of the van is bouncing, consider dialing in your suspension for the weight you carry. If you are bouncing that much you are likely oversprung and/or under dampened for the weight. If you need the carrying capacity for towing and/or hauling occasionally, you could decrease...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    I have 235/85r16 Duratracs on my van. They were on my Tacoma previously. About 25k total on them and still going strong. By far the best AT tire I have owned for all conditions I drive. I drive on ice and snow 4-5 months out of the year, lots of highway miles, wheeling in the desert, mud in...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    My 2008 Cargo does not have Stabilitrac. Not that anyone asked, but I don't miss it one bit. I also regularly drive vans with, and compared to the Toyota and Subaru systems it is extremely slow to react to changes in traction. I prefer predictable, controllable wheel slip over Stabilitrac. It...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    I ran the 12v+ for the trailer battery and power for the brake controller off of the post that feeds the fuse box under the drivers seat and installed the breakers inside the box. I used the OEM harness routing under the drivers seat to get to the dash (for the controller) then up the A pillar...
