    Newer model GM vans daytime running lights

    Did GM change the daytime running lights on their full-size vans from the amber turn signal lights back to the headlights. I have noticed the newer Penske GMC's are utilizing the headlights like they did prior to 2003. I didn't know if it was a GM thing or a Penske thing. Personally I think...

    GM van 5.7l engine question

    Gasoline brand

    I have always been skeptical about folks claiming one brand of gasoline is better than the other. My dad will run nothing but Shell in his cars. I always figured it was the same stuff from the same refinery and you were being swindled into paying a few cents more for the branded stuff...

    Has anyone ever added cruise control to a Chevy/GMC van? My 2002 Penske (5.7L gas) truck did not come with cruise and my right leg is getting ready to fall off. I saw some kits on E-bay but I am not mechanically inclined. Anyone ever tackled such a project or have any suggestions on where I...

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. I believe they call it Murphy's Law but it tends to apply to me more often than not. After a very slow two weeks I called the dispatcher on Friday and said I need something.....anything. So later that...
