    Thanks. I thought so, but wasn't sure. I'm curious how the ride feel will change with that. Do report back!

    That's just the rear sway bar kit, yes?

    Yes. When we bought ours, the dealer had more 3.73 axles than 3.42. We specifically wanted the 3.42 for slightly better fuel economy. I think it was an upcharge/special order for the dealer to get the 3.73, and in Colorado it seemed they thought it was better because mountains, and stocked more...

    Regretting my layout and sofa bed ,uuuugh

    So most people here seem to be of the opinion that the sofa beds are complete crap... Can I just take a moment to express an opposite opinion (for any prospective buyers on the fence)? I can't speak to the fancy leather one, but we got the cheapest princess version with just grey cloth...

    Regretting my layout and sofa bed ,uuuugh

    I'm also of the opinion that the problem probably isn't so much the seat, but the suspension. With the extra leaf and no payload... that sounds terrible. Also just want to add that we purchased our "princess" sofa bed from shop4seats, at the time, I don't think discountvantruck sold sofabeds...

    An update on these two issues: First, the dealer replaced the passenger front axle seal. Free under the drivetrain warranty. I thought they might claim the lift voids the warranty, but they fixed it no questions asked. Second, I pulled the ECU codes. There were 5 of them :Wow1: : P0230 - Fuel...

    We ended up getting a little Kenwood KSC-SW11 Compact Powered Enclosed Subwoofer (just using the stock head unit though). It's very small, fits nicely under/behind the passenger seat. If you're looking to shake the cars next to you or blow your ear drums, this won't do it. But it sounds really...

    Hmm. I wonder how much the sensor and flashing would cost in total? I too have been wanting a temperature display recently and don't have the option. So instead, a few days ago I just ordered a wireless thermo-hygrometer with 2 remote sensors. The display, mounted on the headliner, will measure...

    Sofa Bed with Seat Belts

    We have a sofabed from shop4seats. Installation was pretty easy. We still haven't gotten around to adding seat belts. They can't be mounted to the frame of the sofabed and must be mounted through the floor. We've been sleeping on the sofabed for about 18 months solid. It's been quite...

    We don't have a swivel seat, but we did get the airbag recall thing done last year on our van. Despite how it looks in the video, it only sticks out a half inch to one inch more than the original piece did. At first I didn't like it... but the wife likes how it makes a nice shelf with a little...

    Express/Savana Passenger Comfort

    We currently own a 2014 Express AWD. I have past experience with a 1998 Ford E-150 2WD Conversion Van. For us, the Chevy has a few inches more foot well room for the passenger than the old Ford vans do. EDIT: There is more width for sure, but probably about the same length. Sitting for hours...

    Johny5's stealth camper van

    How's that swivel working out for you? Looks great! It looks so much better than the discount vans swivel people have been using. Would you consider building and selling them? :sombrero:

    Chevy AWD

    Anybody know if the Rough Country or SuspensionMaxx kits (listed as 99-06) previously linked work on a 2014 AWD van? It looks like the 2014 trucks have different suspension, and thus, selecting a 2014 kit has different parts. Did the vans change too or are they still using suspension from...
