Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Recall
Just find one at a wreckers and do it yourself, all it is, is a fused wire. You unplug your master cylinder electrical brake switch (it is un fused, this causes the fire) install the updated wiring harness onto the brake switch that has the fuse, and plug your harness that you removed into the...- Hit By Thunder

mistreated 97 EB
Hey FAsoldier, like said above, concentrate on the mechanicals and the looks come in time. Time away from work/down time when money is low is waxing and polishing time. Thats what I did and do with my 97 expy Aka Betty. Mine was way more worse than yours and has come along way, still lots to do...- Hit By Thunder

Possible Rod Knock
Hmmmm interesting. I have a heavy tick in mine from the top front passenger side that I am worried about. If you have run yours for 5 months with that noise mine will last along time. how many miles on your expy? Could it be a catalytic coverter coming apart and rattling inside????? Just a guess- Hit By Thunder

What did you do to the expy today
Took the Expy "Betty" out for a little drive all washed up to show her off and today there were no gremlins in her speedometer. We had a great drive together today. Betty and I are seeing eye to eye lately. I give her attention and she gives me love. Life is good........today- Hit By Thunder

Captains Seats to Bench?
I put seats from a 2002 ish supercrew in my 97 expy. I had the captain seats and center console. All the hole where there in the floor. The second row took some work switching seat brackets cause the Expy ones reclined for second row where as the supercrew did not. Also when the console is...- Hit By Thunder

updated pics of my Expy
Working on the Homelink today. All wired in and works great, this saves me finding a proper sun visor in the wreckers in mint shape with Homelink. Ah plus it looks cool too. Works about 150 feet from my garage. Easy little project that was easy to program to my liftmaster jackshaft garage door...- Hit By Thunder

Jeep Takeoff Tires? 255/75-17
I would run them for 1/2" taller and 1/2" narrower. Be sure the widths are measured on the same width rims, not a 1/2" difference between the two comparisons. I am running 275 65 18's that I got for 75 bucks for all 4 tires new are 12/32nds and these have 10/32nds wore even. Above post is...- Hit By Thunder

updated pics of my Expy
I have not had too much luck with painting chrome and because it being the front with seeing stone chipping it would be looking like one of those backyard bumper paint jobs in no time. Not saying the plasidip is not going to chip but it will be easier to reapply another top-coat. Did not want to...- Hit By Thunder

inop rear wiper motor / wiring and washer on a 2002
Yes you are exactly correct. I remember looking at the reservoir and seeing two, but one is for the low washer fluid light. The other is the pump with two fluid lines. I am wrong and thanks for pointing it out. Sorry for the miss information I lead on....:025:- Hit By Thunder

Towing in Mountains
Oh for sure but he was talking his expy and I am sure its stock with no forced induction. Was just keeping it very simple for him just because he said he hated to be such a girl and didn't know what 3:31 meant. But you try and help some people and truth hurts no matter how its told. You did a...- Hit By Thunder
