    The 4L60E trans is terrible for towing. I had to put in a new transmission as soon as I got my van because the previous owner towed a 4000 pound trailer on mountain interstates occasionally.

    I almost upsized when I went to BFG KO2s but ultimately decided to stay with the stock tire size since the gearing is already so tall. When you are crawling along on a bad road you really miss the torque when you have oversized tires and no Lo gear.

    You are correct! Not sure how I was so misinformed. If mine does not have one, I would like to find one and put it in.

    No sticker in the passenger jam and no evidence there ever was one there. Mine is a 2009 Chevy AWD . I am pretty sure its all stock except it does really well in the sand so I always wonder

    Van Conversion: Is it right for us?

    Has anyone for a 5x7 projector led headlight set that they like? There are many on Amazon but the quality seems tough to verify. I dont want to be one of those horrible humans that blinds everyone with unfocused powerful headlights. Really need some better lights for baja this winter.

    Aftermarket carpet kits for the front of the van are cheap for even the prior model of express. They are also molded and cut perfectly with vinyl sewn in under the accelorator pedal Doing it will flat carpet is not nearly the same.
