Hi, I've always ended up with one of these installed in my Ford vans. I haven't been able to source anything similar for the GMC van. Has anyone else found one or something similar? http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/shelf-it_overhead_storage/978.aspx

The locker or LS rear axle is probably 4X better than an open axle. I'd take 2WD with a locker over 4wd with open differentials. The only drawback is that if you are power sliding the van (on wet or snow) there is less resistance (like none) to slide slipping. If you don't power slide the van...

Hey, You have already probably thought about it but just in case you haven't, I have had two wheel drive vans and four wheel drive vans. The four wheel drive is great and all but for the cost and weight. Splitting the difference is a two wheel drive with a locking differential. You probably...

Nice mirrors! Can you share any more details on what you had to do to get them to go? It really looks like you did a nice job to get them integrated to the door lines.

A few updates... I got EFI programming into the van. It was installed by Maryland Performance Diesel using tunes created by Kory. The van runs much stronger but there are a few glitches in the tune that they are trying to work out. The difference being that the 2015 software is just a tad...

I was able to retro fit slide out towing mirrors on my Ford E350. I guess a few years later Ford starting offering them as an option so a lot of E350s have the slide out tow mirrors. I can't find anything comparable for the GMC 3500. It doesn't look like pick up mirrors will work because they...

I hear you on the crazy power end of things. I'm going to keep the tune to more of a tow/econo tune. I am also planning on outfitting it with a dual stage water injection set up. I don't know if it is really needed with the inter-cooler but my PS van sometimes really got the pistons hot...

So far the ride is pretty plush. My ford had stiffer springs front and rear so this feels more comfortable than that. Also, this has a bigger sway bar up front so maybe a little less roll? I'm putting new shocks on it over the next couple weeks, a sway bar in the bar as well as air bags in...

Here is the head unit I bought from ebay seller elifestore8 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-2-Car-DVD-GPS-Navi-BT-For-GMC-Yukon-Buick-Enclave-Chevy-Saturn-Tahoe-/191382963531?vxp=mtr&nma=true&si=Bm86BJDUZd%252FOvKYtlBrFGD3eXIw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I wanted one that...

I figure the worst case is having to spend money buying a beefed up transmission. I'd rather do that at some point than have to crawl up mountain passes. It seems like you never know what you are getting with model year transmissions until five or ten years later when the mileage has been...

275/65R/18 Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain W Kevlar on American Eagle 18 X 8.5. They are supposed to have an OD of 32" and the word on the net is that 32 will fit with the stock body and no lift. I guess we'll find out. Quigley regeared the whole van shorter so as to have the rear diff match...

It's got torsion bars. I don't really know too much about the various pros and cons of the various 4X4 systems. I only got the 4x4 for snow, dirt roads and slippery grass situations and not for serious off-road work. Mainly I am trying to keep it as low as I can for better highway and towing...

Here is the van after I received it. Compared to the Ford there are some things I like about it (brakes, A-A innercooler, under hood layout) and somethings I don't like as much (interior layout to some degree) but I think it is the best platform that is available as a new build. I'm just...

Hi, I've been driving modified Powerstroke vans for the last fifteen year doing race trailer hauling and various other adventures. Ford has lost their way with the vans so I am building up a black Quigley (not lifted) 4 X 4 GMC passenger Duramax on order. I expect I'll be doing a fair amount...
