    just got a 05 Expy with tow package

    i think the trim is standard. ive seen a few XLT's just like mine running around on ft bliss with the same trim. I can eat the cost of the caliper. its only $65 (after i return the core) the dealerships all the way back in wisconsin lol so its not local lol but the dealership did a great job...

    superchargers or turbos

    nice i just like the sound of turbos myself :) i also highly belive in application specification. It all depends on where in the powerband where you need the power to be most pronounced. if you need power and torque as soon as you touch the throtttle then super chargers are your cup of tea. if...
