    heat in cargo van

    I have a remote starter for my van. When I go to bed I crank up the heat (also have a rear heater because it used to be a passenger van). I mounted the rear heat control right over my head in the bunk. My remote starter has a setting that starts up the truck for 24 minutes every 3 hours...

    cargo van

    I have to agree with Jefferson on this one. It took a month for me to find the cargo van I wanted and got a used one for $4488. It is a Chevy Express 1-ton with extended wheelbase. I have a 30" wide bunk with 2' of storage beneath it and still have room for two skids. I can haul around...

    What Van For You?

    Hi Gang, I would probably stay with a Chevy Van like I have now. I bought a used 1997 Express 1-ton Extended with 104k miles on it and have been very impressed so far. If for nothing than peace of mind, it is great to pay cash ($4400) for something that is very reliable and has a great...

    Removing Benchseat Runners in Passenger Van

    I am just going to pitch the seats. They are functional I guess, but they are in bad shape. The van used to be owned by Riverbend (if you are in the Cincy area you know what I am talking about) and man the inside was an absolute mess, like it was a homeless shelter or something. Brian

    Removing Benchseat Runners in Passenger Van

    Hi Gang, I was taking the seats out of a passenger van in order to lay down my plywood but am having a problem. There are 4 runners that the seats latch into. I do not see how these come out except for maybe to unbolt them from underneath the van. Anyone have experience removing these from a...

    Gotcha, but why does the keyboard power up at indiscriminate times for a few minutes and then shutdown when the ignition is off? B

    Qualcomm General Info

    Hi gang, I am just curious about the general workings of a QC. The typical pattern it appears is that when the ignition is on the QC is on of course, and it stays on for about a half hour after the ignition is turned off. What does make me wonder is when I am sitting with the ignition off...

    Out Of Service ( DEER)

    I was on I-90 in New York last week and a freakin' black bear ran across the highway. I cannot even imagine what kind of damage that would have made. Brian

    Power Inverter Problem

    I am actually going to run the inverter directly to the battery once I get home because the new inverter I bought will not work at full power unless it is a direct connection. I definitely need some longer cables and a way to run it through the firewall...never done this before. Any...

    Power Inverter Problem

    Thanks for all the feedback. This is pretty crazy but hey, it worked. Even though I did not think it was the inverter, I bought a bigger one on Monday on my way to Kokomo. It would not work in the van either but I didn't have time to mess with it, had to get to Chrysler. Later in the day, I...

    Cargo Van vs. Van w/ Box Unit

    Hey everyone, I currently drive a regular sized 1998 Chevy Express but stopped at a dealer to look at some new extended vans. The dealer didn't have any but I took a gander at a box unit based on a Savannah. All the room is really tempting. The ability to take additional or very high skids...

    van interior features

    RE: van interior features (Porta Potty) I bought the budget porta-potty at Outdoor World (Bass Pro Shops) for $10. It is just a seat and a stand with very heavy duty garbage bags. This is only for extreme emergencies but it has come in handy.
