    new motor or sell -6cyl misfire -thoughts?

    The SSV had a heavy duty alternator to run all the police equipment and light equipment. Interior was base (no carpeting, cloth front seats, no 3rd row, etc) but most other was standard. Some had upgraded suspension, but depended on what was ordered. To add insult to injury, today we went to...

    new motor or sell -6cyl misfire -thoughts?

    Thanks Stamp11127 - No smoke upon start up, but it does idle rough for about 10-12 seconds before settling down. We did oil changes 2x since we got it, so not sure about oil consumption. Had the kid soldering in 4th grade (took video to prove to teachers who thought I made his hover craft)...

    new motor or sell -6cyl misfire -thoughts?

    Ordered a front blend actuator to stop the horrible clicking in the '06 expy. Washed the '11 expy!

    Interior swap.

    X2. Also interested, as we just picked up a '06 SSV so it doesn't even have carpeting and for some reason cloth front seats and gray leather middle row seats... Looking forward to some feedback to 'black 4x4's' question.

    Hi all, We have a '11 XLT, but recently picked up a '06 XLT-SSV for my son. He was looking for a truck to tow his bass boat, and the price was great, only 85k miles and overall good condition. But it seems to have the dreaded window leak and mysterious electrical issues , hence how I found...
