    She sat since June and finally started her up today. I got code P0315

    I also feel slight murmurs of missing upon acceleration from a dead stop, but she runs well enough on the freeway/highway although, she is not as spunky as she can be and has been in the past. I of course researched and found it could be the camshaft position sensor or damaged reluctor ring...

    4" lift

    38's! WHOA!!! Are you doing any work to the transmission and swapping out gears? The 35's placed a noticable amount of strain on my 250k mile transmission.

    4" lift

    While what scoot0073 is true. Going to max has the opposite effect of ending the upper ball joint life MUCH QUICKER than if you went a little more modest with the lift. To maintain some semblance of dependability, I'd go 2.5/2 inch lift. I have the max lift and just ate my end links and the...

    4" lift

    Update: I am going to add Limit Straps to the front. Our trucks don't have bump stops and while catching some air, the end lins blew out and grease was spat everywhere. I feel that limit straps will control that while not allowing the weight of the entire front end just whack everything to full...

    03 Mods?

    Guess not

    FINALLY got around to installing Bonnie's new parts and mod

    This was the culmination of many laborious hours and careful replacement of the front end components along with an eye catching lighting mod.

    Removing front air dam?

    Depends on what generation Expy I suppose, or also how much is removed because I don't have any issues.

    A good welder with tenure.

    4" lift

    I primarily went with ProForged components as much as they manufacture for our rigs. Anything HD or Extreme Duty made by a reputable manufacturer. I went further, taking my lowers to my fab guy and having weld on gussets. Edit: Thank you for the compliment.

    4" lift

    They most definitely are not. Warranties vary from 90-days to one million miles. I went with the 1,000,000,000 mile warranty parts. Also, especially in cases where the Expy was purchased pre-owned, the suspension could have been beat hard and put away wet, a bad/cheap repair, even the region of...

    4" lift

    I think it comes down to the state of the existing suspension components along with replacing them with the best you can find. For example, when I did my lift, I replaced all four strut assemblies, inner/outer tie rods, end links, and upper/lower control arms so yeah... My shit isn't wearing out...

    So... What do ya'll think of my custom rear guard?

    Perhaps it impacted my Expy at an angle?

    So... What do ya'll think of my custom rear guard?

    I am manufacturing a v2.0 that will have changes as well as added gussets before being sent to manufacture then sale. They're not gonna be cheap but compared to deductibles and increased rates, it pays for itself. Look at that Denali. Can anyone identify the damage? I can still use my hatch...

    So... What do ya'll think of my custom rear guard?

    And the damage to Bonnie versus the damage to the Denali. It was DOA at the location of impact.

    'Potential point of impact' photo post-manufacture v1.0 and post impact.

    So... What do ya'll think of my custom rear guard?

    Noticed some movement, thought I'd update. I was rear-ended by a distracted driver in a Denali Sub. The Denali was totaled. Bonnie suffered two dimples in the rear hatch. I've identified a manufacturing change that needed to be made to ensure the welds penetrate because there was a potential...

    Removing front air dam?

    Does this apply, if you know, to 2nd Gen Expy's?

    This one had a bad link AND I can't seem to delete it. Please see next comment for the good link.

    Removing front air dam?

    Removed mine AND trimmed beyond that to give me a higher angle of approach. I'm clearing 12.5 inches at the lowest point of the undercarriage. Also trimmed the rear for a better departure angle and to mount backup LED bars at the outside edges of the hitch.

    Small Mod - Replacement 3rd Brakelight

    Yes, I agree it looks better although I added a flash unit with mine to give me fast flash followed by slow flash then ending in solid on for the added pizzazz and safety of more attention from possible distracted drivers behind me.

    Updated Bonnie's lighting...

    Replaced the 80 watt LED fogs with 140 watt and added a third behind the lower grille. She's ready for the coming rains.

    I have an electrical problem

    I think I got it. I swapped out the fuse box for my spare and the middle pin on the C2160 PCM Relay is melted (See picture). I also used a new fuse in the replacement fuse box. After getting her all back together and the negative terminal reconnected I cranked her up and she started up...
