    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Yeah, I have to agree with you. My '13 Xterra hoses are in great shape, my '00 Ram hoses are in great shape, heck even the few I have on the '84 M1010 are in good shape. In the 59 vehicles I have own, these were by far the worst I have ever had.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Took care of a couple projects today. The big one was installing the pass. side seat swivel. This is made by Ironcloud Metal and is one of the nicest fabbed items I have seen in a while. Very well constructed and works great. Install was easy. Only thing that wasn't just dealing with 8 nuts...

    Propane Basics For Build

    Catalytic heaters create a LOT of moisture in a small space. You really want something that has the combustion vented outside and the heat exchanger that blows hot air inside. Something like a Propex heater or similar (for propane). Event the cheap diesel heater ones. Any of these Wave or...

    School me on LED light pods

    As for lights, I would highly recommend Diode Dynamics. They have been awesome and they have a few different power levels. They have a number of different options of form factors, so you should be able to find something that fits your needs. Very high quality but at a lower price than some of...

    Shopping for an Express/Savana 2500/3500, and debating between regular or extended

    Yeah GM based 4x4 vans (not the AWD version) are few and far between. I think I find 10 Ford 4x4 vans for every 1 GM 4x4 van. The GM paint issue goes back into the late 80's (and for a lot of manufacturers) when EPA mandated waterborne primers and changes in paint. It was total crap back pre...

    Shopping for an Express/Savana 2500/3500, and debating between regular or extended

    The exhaust being rusty is not uncommon since they heat cycle and that is hard on any coating that might have been on it. To me, it looks like it was sprayed with some undercoating on the frame rails but hard to say if it was done prior to any rust forming (protecting the frame) or after rust...

    Tire Load Rating at Lower Tire Pressures vs. Axle Rating: A Case for "E" Load

    My first thought is, GAWR combined front and rear, tends to be higher than the actual GVWR. GVWR is overall max weight distributed across all four points. Depending on how the vehicle is loaded, you could have more weight on one axle than the other. Trucks are more prone to this than...
