On the Chevy there is a sheet metal pan at the rear underside. Here you need to use self tapping Tek screws with a hex head. Drill a pilot hole of a smaller diameter first. Also there is a heat shield where you will need the Tek screws. Otherwise use bolts where ever possible. Know where you...

Bryan, you can down load the owners manual from their web site. It explains all the functions. It can be used with a diesel. It should work on most 1996 and newer vehicles. I agree that seeing a fault code as it is generated could save you big bucks in repair bills. It may have saved your...

Just kidding about the auto pilot feature.

I also would be interested in hearing from someone using ScanGauge. At about $125.00 it seems well worth the price for what it can do. fuel usage data - m.p.g. instant m.p.g. fuel used etc trip info - mileage, elapsed time gauges - fuel, speed, volts, temp, air intake...

I don't know if GM's jack will safely lift a fully loaded van. I carry a 5 ton bottle jack just in case.

do a Google search for powerleg 20k. That should get you to site showing Hollands powerleg electric landing gear. I don't know if anyone makes an air assist landing gear. That could be another option if such a thing exists.

I change oil every 6000-7000 miles on my Chevy gasser. My wife and kids cars I change every 3000 miles. I consider short stop and go trips severe service.

Terry is right, but he should have stated that the deduction is 70% of that.

I agree with Sixwheeler. Don't flash brights. I have flashed my brights during the day but never at night.

You could be drawing in fumes from other trucks around you. Especially horizontally exhausted trucks. Get yourself a carbon monoxide detector just to be safe.

I have driven trucks with convex mirrors mounted on the top bracket and aimed upward. I was told this enabled the driver to monitor exhaust from stacks for potential problems. The biggest problem was from overhead freeway lights reflecting into the cab. I remedied that by aiming the mirror...

I am also a Rain-X fan. It must be applied to clean warm glass for best results. I use a Rain-X additive mixed with regular windshield washer. My only complaint is that it's a dust magnet in the summmer.

Letzrock, what a wonderful analogy. Hope nobody is offended. I think even Robertson Davies would appreciate it.

WARNING: Do not fall victim to blinker fluid theft. Keep your hood latched and locked. Be aware of suspecious activity in and around truck stops, i.e. men with turkey basters and small pails and its way past Thanksgiving Day. I saw a man at the bottom of an exit ramp with hand painted sign...

New cars still come with turn signals as standard equipment. The problem is the world wide shortage of blinker fluid. The United States imports more than 90% of its blinker fluid and is the largest user of blinker fluid in the world. China is a close second due to their growing economy. Many...

The low roof Sprinter has an inside height of 64" and is not available in the 158" model. The high roof has an inside height of 73" and comes in 140" and 158" wheelbases. This could change with 2007 model.

I'mentally building my next van. But it can be hard to sell an idea to someone. Take your ideas and ask other owners what they want in an expedite van. Then build it. Stay in the expediting so you can work while showcasing your product. If you can make a quality conversion at a decent price...

The corner Standard station is now owned by British Petroleum. They have no tow truck because they have no garage or mechanic. You can buy a slurpee and some Excederine though. A somewhat dated but still poignant view of GM and the UAW as seen through the eyes of an assembly line worker is...

My rear tires bear most of the weight when loaded. They also wear more evenly. My experience with chevys is that front tires tend to scallop along the edges at about 100,000 mi. or so. I have run nothing but Bridgestones and if I can safely get 115,000 miles I'm happy. The only tire failure...
