Had a very loud rattling noise coming from the exhaust system(roughly from mid to rear of van)when stopped in gear but it disappeared in neutral. Wasn't the exhaust shield or the catalytic converter. Replaced the two most rear rubber exhaust hangers and rattle is gone. Simple fix for anyone else wit...

I have a simple bed made from 2x4's and a sheet of plywood.Made the bed higher so I could fit in my shelving underneath so it is a bit snug and unfortunately I can't read in bed but it is comftorable.It all comes apart easily.Lived in my van for 4 months quite happily. Damn I thought I had the high...

Changed my transmission fluid and filter today. Again thank-you to all those that have gone before and posted there tips and tricks :supz: I knew to get the right filter (deep pan) and not to stress if I couldn't get the grommet out easily so I left it in.No leaks and the shifts seem even smoother n...

Changed my spark plugs and wires.I researched the job using this site and some other online resources and everything went well.I started with the #5 plug and went from there.It seems this is a "rite of passage" for owners of this van.Thank-you to all those that have gone before and posted ...

Went to lower the hoist when the spare was ready to be reinstalled and the hoist wouldnt lower. Tried ...

I used a glue gun and filled in the area where the plastic had broken.So far so good.

That looks like a very good fix.Nice job(and who thought an arm rest could be so important!).I have a soldering iron so I might have to give this a go.

My driver seat armrest also broke after I sat on it.Wouldn't support my elbow.I was able to exchange the driver armrest for the RH armrest on the second row bench seat.But will still need to find a way to fix the broken armrest.I took a picture of the part that is broken to show others what it looks...

I have uploaded images taken from the GMC repair manual for a 2001 GMC Safari for the two different seat types.
