    Center Console Trays or Organizers

    You can pick up a couple small plastic drawer organizers from the Dollar store that will fit nicely. Stackable as well.

I had 0430 0420 2272 codes on my beater- all O2, Cat, misfire issues, failed emissions, with the bonus of a broken spark plug in cylinder 8 and an exhaust leak to give the girl an impressive Blackwawk sound...

    help ID parts?

    Thx fellas. I pulled and cleaned the throttle body and MAF sensor. I have a P0430 code from a while back so probably try the O2 sensors.

    help ID parts?

    Yeah, one day when it dropped to 6 mpg and ran crappy is when I took a look and saw the opening on the right side of the intake. Bingo- I fished around behind it and found that hose behind the intake and plugged it in. Thx for that tip. No vacuum leak sounds. On the bottom pic, am I...

Pic 1: MPG dropped to like 6 and was running crappy when I saw an intake opening with no cap/hose so I popped on a rubber cap. Is that the right piece to have there, or...

    Third Row Motor?

    NP, friend. I'm in the same boat with my '05, tho make sure it's not a fuse or switch first and bench test the motors. Meh, considering just taking the seats out altogether. Good luck.

    Opinions on Rim Paint?

    Stock 16" steelies on my 02 were the original gray. I took a wire wheel drill attachment to them and sandpaper. Then 2 coats of Rustoleum primer and 3 coats of Rustoleum satin black. Worthwhile couple hours IMO. Like anything, take your time and do it right.

    ebay replacement headlights

    My kid changed these out on his own, taking about an hour total. The rears took maybe 5 min each but the fronts took longer, having to remove and replace the height/level adjustment screws. Quality is ok- a bit thin and flimsy with a decent gap between the headlight and cornering light. Light...

    South Side, and thx for the welcome. The truck is clean, except for the rusting sills and door bottoms. It's basically a big empty box. I've been reading the Gen I forum for a couple months- Gotts Mod, brown wire, etc. Great stuff.

    newb from Chicago

    Hi all, I picked up a stripped down former MI Sheriff's Police '02 Expo for next to nothing. 131k runs strong, needs brakes asap (every f'n nut n bolt is rusted in place lol) and eventually an exhaust manifold. It has the towing package, police spotlights, full rubber floor, but no center...
