    2003 AWD Savana

    Did you sell those seats yet? Do they seem like they would be interchangeable with the front seats?

    First freeze of the season

    30 is not nearly cold enough to freeze pipes or anything else. Not a problem until you get down around 24 for a long night.

    why is Express van carpet only available up to 2002?

    Do remember that his van is a 2000. I am not sure the contours are the same. I know the doghouse is much larger in the 2003 and up models.

    Express AWD control arm options

    Yeah , I was able to do about 2 inches with the stock a arms but my alignment guy said the camber was maxed out. I have heard those shocks are very stiff . I wonder how they will do on washboard.

    Express AWD control arm options

    How are you liking that combination? Did you do a 2 or 3 inch lift? I still have not gotten around to doing mine yet and need to order in some parts!

    why is Express van carpet only available up to 2002?

    I have been asking this question on multiple forums for years now. No one knows. The only option is the dealership and its not cheap

    Transit AWD vs Express AWD vs Transit Quigley: which one for me?

    Your intermittent interior light problems might be that very odd cancel switch that many owners do not even know they have. Not sure if its just on cargo vans or not.

    Transit AWD vs Express AWD vs Transit Quigley: which one for me?

    I am in a similar boat all the way down to the 09 awd express. I however have loved my express and have pushed it to its limits. with its short wheelbase and larger tires I dont think the AWD ford will be as capable at all. Even with the quigley its just a much bigger van. However I would like...

    how to price my sprinter 4x4

    How much is a new one? How much do you have in this one? What is the current wait time? I am guessing this is the model with the lowest depreciation rate offered by mercedes, I cant imagine you have lost much on it yet. That land rover is gonna lose you a fortune when you drive it off the lot.

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    And its a real dog. Really the only weak link in an otherwise bulletproof van. Although some say its what is responsible for the great gas mileage

    Might sell my 2000 E350 7.3 PSD short bus w/65k miles plus axles/transfer case...

    Since you are letting it go cheap, no sense breaking it up. How many hours do you think it would take to put it all together? Is this a bolt on project or is there a bunch of fab work to be done?

    ***UPDATE - VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** Van Stolen June 4 Portland Oregon

    Just FYI , the PNW is one of the only places where Westfalias are stolen. I am part of the vw camper community and when one gets stolen just about anywhere in the world , we hear about it. Its the PNW almost every single time. Watch your rigs up there guys, something in the water....

    New Tires for Chevy Express 1500, to Lift or Not?

    One thing that rarely gets mentioned is that if you put bigger tires on , you are making the gearing taller. First gear on this transmission is already too tall for my taste and shows up when you have to negotiate some rough terrain very slowly and need to go up a very steep hill or get over a...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Love the that top and have thought about getting one for my rig. How do you plan on getting your kayak on and off of that thing? What kind of racks for your solar and such?

    New here in need of some direction

    I have about 210k on mine and my buddy has 310k on his. Amazing how little maintenance is needed. The transmission is the weak link . The 4L60E should never have had a 300hp v8 hooked to it in a full size van. If you baby it , its fine, if you try towing you will kill it. Its an easy trans to...

    New here in need of some direction

    Have you thought about the AWD express? I have one and it gets great gas mileage and will rip along the beach like a dream. With a mild lift and a willingness to go slowly , it will get you to more camp spots than you imagine it will. Not in the same league offroad as your taco , but once your...
