Re: Am I crazy?

First of all the 245/60/15 tires were a factory option at one time , so no they didn't hurt your performance at all , if anything i like the way the wider tires make these vans more stable . as far as gears , with the options you have i'd go with the 3.73 's . unless you do alot of towing then i'd s...

Re: rear doors help

yup these guys are right , the inside trim will comeoff with the door closed & its really easy to get the door open once the trim is off (i did this at a campgrounds once without alot of tools on hand ) so it is possible to do . as aaron said lubrication is probably your problem , so make sure i...

Re: We're going camping !!!!!!!!!!!!

The trailer weighs at 1875 unloaded probably around 2000 loaded & it didn't even feel like it was back there !!!
but the tranny has a shift kit (thanx Bill ) & the rear end has a set of 4.10 gears (thanx to dean ) . so its basicly set up for towing . tranny cooler etc.
