thanks. I checked out your pics and thought .. HEY that's the one that would have been perfect, if that is the one that was in the for sale section here from a member in michigan. I came back because I missed mine. looked in the for sale section and saw that one marked as sold. great find. congrats ...

good to "see some old faces" lol =D>

well, I'll say it out loud. I've been driving an 04 Mazda 6 5spd for 1 year now and it's been a horribly long Canadian winter. I miss my AWD. I have been looking for something to replace it come spring (don't get me wrong it's a fast fun great handling car). It's not an Astro though. I've been looki...

After reading through this thread, it looks wrapped up. So if I may.... I saw the picture of the diode location. It is the "B" pillar.... Drivers side??? I plan on check the relay, but if I have to go for a diode swap, I would like a little more information before I start taking things ap...

that's a nice shade of green

dang it 9dawgs! just when i decide I'm gonna figure a way to inexpensively lower the awd down a couple inches for the summer.. you go and mess it up posting a pic of my favorite lifted van ](*,)

I'm hanging on to those. I was surprised that the quads weren't as bright as the Hellas untill I put the high buck bulbs in them. i'm surprised I could see anything with standard bulbs, think they were more for people seeing me lol. after driving with both types of 9006 bulbs, the ge nitehawk plati...

looks great stan. royal pain, sounds like. worth the effort. MUCH sexier looking now and potential for better night visability

Crash do you mean removing this part? well yes, it looks so different taken apart. maybe that entire thing is what I need to get off. the cable broke on mine and I no longer have the wide metal piece that sits in the center hole off the spare rim to pull it up, and not really sure how much cable ha...

doh! that's the crank part...

my mistake. I'm speaking of the actual part with the wire that pulls the spare up to and holds it in place ](*,) right church, wrong pew

actually, any chance you have pics of how to actually get one off?? I was at the wrecker trying to get one and removed all the bolts i could see but it still wouldn't come off. I am in dire need of a fix or replacement to get my spare out of the inside of the van and back under it since mine had a b...

when i deleted mine on one of the past vans i just grabbed a front hose off a van that had front only. i pulled my hose that split off for the rear. then off the condenser, cut and had the AC place cap it. replaced the seals and had recharged at the AC place.

just another alternative...

My van also has those fancy plastic skirts around it to cause more clearance grief. Not sure what it would take to undress it. Any ideas? well, I happened to be 1/2 way through pulling the cladding off a van. a few screws, a few of the plastic christmas tree type things (under the rockers) and a TO...

this hypothetical awd into 2wd scenario is dead gary. now that i've got that 96 awd mentioned in the other thread. re: road salt.... as Stan mentioned, it should be illegal. you'd think with all the tightening environmental restrictions for everything under the sun and political correctness gone ove...
