I'm having trouble understanding how a 5-leaf spring intended for vans lifted 2"+ would only be a .8cm difference for stock vans? Maybe @Growlerbearnz or @sk66 could add some insight into the variances between what is supposed to be stock (4 leaf springs) and what is being sold as a stock...
Those are the same 5 leaf springs I was incorrectly sold. If you have a stock van you should only have 4. I texted Steven yesterday and he said he still doesn't have them in stock. He's supposed to be shipping me replacements when he gets them so we'll see how it goes. I don't feel comfortable...
Still haven't tackled this yet but thanks so much for the detailed outline. I was sold the wrong leaf springs (got five springs for lifted vans instead of the stock four), I was told to remove the fourth leaf to make them "stock" but would love confirmation from the community on that. Thanks!
Man, crazy how much better the van stops with well-adjusted rear brakes o_O
@sk66 I manually adjusted them since I had the drums off but are you saying that each time the parking brake is applied it should re-calibrate the adjuster?
I've been feeling like my brakes haven't been as 'strong' as usual so I was thinking I needed to replace my rear drum pads. Also been getting more brake dust on my front wheels than usual. Opened them up today and they are not much different than the new ones. Shoudl I just play w/ the adjuster...
I just replaced mine because someone rear-ended me but the glass wasn't broken so I've got a spare. I'm in central Oregon if you're taking any trips to the PNW hit me up.
@Foxusmc buy more than one set. They're life savers if/when traveling. I always keep spares
Also highly recommend these for rodents. I live in packrat country and they've saved me a ton of damage and headache.
There was another thread about this but it was specifically related to the T3 exhaust. I have an aftermarket exhaust but they used the original connection to the manifold (see pic). Any idea about the size or part number for the seal here? Does it use an exhaust donut?
I've not removed an...
First two were OEM and the next one was a Pajaro one from amazon https://a.co/d/4bYlG6X. The one I'm currently running that has been great as long as I don't use the charger is also the one linked above from Amazon.
Mine is one of the "smart" ones that doesn't charge until the car batter is...
The upper rod on mine was getting stuck so I ended up cutting it off. The lock tab is hidden within the rear brake light and would never be accessible otherwise so I didn't feel I needed it.
@sk66 any ideas on how/where to look for running light fuses/junctions? Perhaps just a random coincidence but would like to get it resolved since most of the days are darkness this time of year.
