My muffler fell off after it rusted out, for now I've decided to repair and use it. I used a "flexible exhaust repair kit" size 1 3/4" made by...

I feel like there's got to be a full bolt on muffler out there similar in size and shape with the same curve to get over the axle. Then you could...

Thanks for the input. With repair parts dwindling, this has pretty much become the only viable option. Thankfully the van uses the same exhaust...

I took my van to Ballard Muffler (not actually in ballard. Up on Aurora) a few months back to get the muffler replaced. I think it was around $400...

I would not do that. You want good separation between interior of the van and the tank. Besides, it's not hard to drop the tank. I just did that a...

Asking price, 2WD or 4WD? Miles?

Nice drawings

Has anyone ever cut an access panel in the body to replace the fuel pump without dropping the tank? My next question is do you have any measurements...

It's been about 4-6 years so I'm sure the rate will be different now but he did both pipes for $280 plus tax. Tear out the old pipes, reroute/bend...

I did find this website that lists one for sale for $360 ($408 after shipping and tax) - I don't know if they actually have it in stock ...

Aaaah maybe take it to the muffler shop and have them make it?? I have a custom MagnaFlow dual exhaust on my Suburban that needed new pipes and Mike...

Thanks, but I'm looking for the full muffler with pipe and flange that I can bolt on after the CAT

Old thread but I haven't seen an in-depth diagram for doing your spare tire for vans fitted with leaf springs (4x4 vans and vans fitted with coil...

Gone, unfortunately. Good luck on your search :thmbup: - AD

I will concur that they are lifetime lubed double sealed bearings as I have two axles shafts with newly installed bearings sitting in my garage...

Thanks for the help! I’ll do this. 👍

I got the Transtar #57002ECF / K46900F It's just a basic kit (no clutches or heavy parts). It only has gaskets, seals, o-rings, check balls, some...

In looking at the diagram I'd have to agree with Mark. I've never had problems with van rear wheel bearings before (knock on wood). I have however...

Yes, regarding emergency starting. If it was me I'd get myself the necessary jumper cables and do the connections mentioned above so that you know...

I don't think the gear oil is ever supposed to get past that seal and reach the bearing. If it did, it could dilute or flush out the grease, causing...

Radiator??
