Re: Small renovation to rear body

Here is a stainless screw in an aluminum sailing yacht mast. rig3.jpg Youtube video https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wi2ycDGYrcQ/hqdefault.jpg I remember I had to go a scrapyard once for Astro roof rack parts. The rack is aluminum and I'm pretty sure the long torx screws are stainless. Not sure what the threa...

Re: Small renovation to rear body

By the way, don't do this ... mixing stainless steel and aluminum. Apparently this is a no-no in the boating world, because it causes bad galvanic corrosion.

Re: Hi Guys newbie here needs help

welcome to the forum, Tim Window vans have structural reinforcement around the windows and along the whole wall. Retrofitting would involve a fair bit of fabrication work. If the van has seat rails, and you find seats from the same year, then of course you can pop them in. Otherwise ... again lots o...

Re: ‘98 Savana 1500 5.7L V8

try searching the vehicle history with the VIN (Carfax, etc.). It might show where the van went after leaving the factory.

Re: ‘98 Savana 1500 5.7L V8

Welcome to the forum. That's a really clean looking van. That undercarriage looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Amazing! Where was it? I was wondering what the ‘advantage’ badge across the vehicle meant? Sounds like "Advantage" is a line of wheelchair vans from a company calle...

You may have to fly to a southern state to find one. Just keep scouring craigslist, ebay , facebook marketplace and dea...

Re: Speedometer not working 91 vandura

check where the cable is mounted to the transmission tailpiece. Make sure it's secure, and adjusted to the proper depth.

Re: ABS code 86

If it's a short in the lamp circuit, then you need get a multimeter to measure and find it. You'll need a wiring diagram, and possibly remove the cluster. Maybe the bulb is just starting to fail.

Are there any other codes besides 86?
