    Rear Caliper issue?

    I have an 08 expy. Since I bought the truck 30k miles ago, I have had what I thought was a warped rotor. While replacing the lateral links yesterday, I decided to lube the brakes. There were no clips for the pads to ride the caliper. Therefore, the pads were rusted to the caliper bracket. These...

    Power steering fluid change?

    I thought the PS was 100k. Its Mercon LV or V fluid. Easy to do yourself as well. Always good to keep a 600 dollar steering gear happy I suppose.

    Manual starter switch question

    From the wire diagram the solenoid is grounded by the neutral safety switch. So a manual switch on the control side is still pretty safe.

    opinions wanted on a possible "new to me" Expy

    It depends on how much money you have. $1000 for anything you can still sit in is great if you have the money and time to rebuild it. When you are in the 250,xxx range your buying a problems. so this is more of a fiscal question haha and I am no accountant.

    Manual starter switch question

    If he is just by passing the key, and running power to the solenoid, NOT the starter, then the all safety aside from the wheel lock out should be in place right?

    99 navigator valve cover

    passenger side is a pain, drain your radiator, removed all hoses, actually removed the wire harnesses, just no way around that. If you are nimble with your hands, and good with universal sockets and extensions it can be done. Though this is done a lot easier with a top side creeper, blankets...

    Wheel Hub won't budge!

    Manual starter switch question

    I thought the solenoid control wire was pretty small. Find out how big the wire is (close guess?), then find the fuse its on. Do the math and you have your rating youll need for a switch.

    New Expy and new prob...plugs and coils or just plugs?

    Best way to check your COB is to put a multimeter on it and run 12v through it. check for continuity. At over $100 a pop I would do the diagnostics before you start into parts.

    Wheel Hub won't budge!

    Sounds like you already know they rust on pretty well. When I pulled mine I took a putty knife and tapped it with a hammer all the way around. To remove I had to tap each side with a big ass screw driver in order for 20 min. This job just takes determination and some strength. But if you want...

    Tan Running Boards - How to clean?

    Its super easy to remove them, might look better to just replace them. But if you want to clean them, get a tire brush and truck wash soap.

    pinon bearings or rear differential. You can try adding friction modifier to your diff and see if that helps
