Ya it is for sure a fuel issue in my opinion but I think it is an electrical issue that is cutting the fuel

One of my rear barn doors has become very very stiff to open(passenger side) . Anyone ever have this happen?

Yep, same issue but on my driver side. Have not identified the cause.

You think it might be the metal door check strap? One can disconnect the door side easily to check.

Did not even think of that , I am seriously slipping
Will have a look in the morning '
Thanks!

Welcome. I know on my van that strap causes resistance and I've actually replaced the front one.

 

[dleeallen]

Definitely on the side doors. Cheap replacement too. Not on the rear doors though.

Right, side doors. Replaced my front side door strap.

 

[Scotty D]

Yup, no strap on the rear barn doors.
Will have to keep fiddling with it

I assume you tried some sort of penetrate amd/or lube on the hinge pins ? Maybe hinge pins are rusty.

Anyone ever mount anything directly to a factory front bumper?

Hi, Guys,
Tried to do the KSP torsion keys on my 2007 Express. Did the swap and ran my bolts in an inch further than they were stock. The end result was an underwhelming 1.25" of lift. Does anyone have a recommendation for what keys to use in a 2007?
Cheers

When I lifted my van I ran into issues with the aftermarket lift keys and had to end up keeping my stock ones. I cranked the stock ones all the way up. Here are my before and after pics with stock tires and the last one is with the new tires. From my understanding ride quality only has to do with how much you lift the van. Not on what keys or how far you crank them so just keep cranking until u get to ur desired height. I think they say to not go over 2.5"

Why are some of you guys lifting the front and back different amounts?

These vans sit about 1-2" higher in the back from the factory.
