Chevy & GMC Vans

I changed my fuel pump cause my van told me to ( in the form of not starting ) absolutely full to the brim with fuel!
After wasting about an hour trying to figure out any way to short cut this job, I rolled up my sleeves and did it right.
It took me 3 hours ( not including the first wasted hour ) I went with the 400 dollar delco as opposed to the 280 dollar off shore brand. I do not want changing fuel pumps to become a hobby of mine.

Replaced both front door pins and bushings. Also installed the corner markers on my Snowbear snowplow.

Drove it to work and back.
Pushed the window latch pins back into the latches on 2 windows (2 rattles fixed).
Removed mobility chair lift from the back.
Tightened about 30 loose screws on interior moulding (5-6 rattles fixed).
Sat down with a cold "Shiner Holiday Cheer" and the owners manual just to see what it has to say about setting the time on the clock..
Having another "Holiday cheer"..
Drank thedsk last chrrer and started on thex Shiner Bock.. Cant sett time and numberrs on the cklovk ar getting fuzzy. Battery mustt ned a charge..

Installed backup lights, rear mudflaps and washed her.

LMFAO !!

I did some welding on the rack, soon to be posted on my build thread.

Hey Lifted....
How do you like that bug deflector? I was thinking of getting the same one.

I love it. It is my 2nd one. I had one on the SPB years ago. It is an AVS Bugflector II.

Got rid of the engine oil heater/cooler. Left all the lines in place, just blew them out with the air compressor. I'll remove them the rest of the way when it's a bunch warmer out. I also replaced the cargo van dome light with the passenger model with map lites etc. The inside rear view mirror fixed it'self today as well. I was adjusting it out of the way a bit to cut the headliner hole for the new dome lite setup and it fell off the windshield.

More welding! I'm going to run out of gas soon

The rack is starting to look like a rack! Uploading pix now to photobucket, will post 'em up soon in my thread. This rack is huge!

Removed stock rear lower shock mounts, welded new mounts to axle, painted rear axle and shock mounts with rust converter paint, installed 4 degree shims under leaf springs and replaced broken left rear e-brake cable and adjusted.













Drilled and tapped trailer hitch receiver for lock bolts/nuts to eliminate play and keep draw bar and cargo carrier from shifting around. Still have to paint trailer hitch with rust converter!

Yah my e-brake cable bracket has been hanging broken off for some time now. The rubber damper on the exhaust hanger is about to pop too.

Mine was broken for some time too, just never bothered to replace it. For the little amount of time it took should have done it sooner, well worth it.

Can you show more pics of what you did? We're talking about the bracket attached to the passenger side shock mount right?

Just a good wash & wax on January 11th? crazy 59 degrees here in Okla.

Missed the bracket part. My e-brake cable was broken in half where it attached to the lower shock mount. I cut the shock mounts off and left the part where the bracket bolts on and welded new shock mounts from Ruff Stuff.

I may relocate the e-brake cables over the axle at some point but ran out of time today. Few more photos with my new Rancho RS9000 shocks installed.
