I installed a switch in mine that will prevent the engine from cranking over at all. I interrupted the power wire that runs from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. Now, this is a pretty heavy wire so I didn't want to run it straight through the little toggle switch I had. I ran the starter...

No experience with the ones you mentioned, but I'm using YellowStuff from EBC and I'm happy with them.

......... but I'm not so sure about the A/C compressor which is low on the passenger side on the LS (at least on the truck versions). Then you have to covert the van to an electronic throttle or the LS to a cable throttle body........ I know there are aftermarket accessory drive systems for the LS ...

Welcome to the forum!
I'll be following along with your swap.

Awesome work, as usual!

I also installed an electric pusher fan on the front of the condenser to help with airflow. The air temperature ou...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the rubbertite from Lloyd mats, the one you mentioned in the first post. I have the one-piece front mat and I'm super happy with it. It's not a totally perfect fit, but it does fit way better than I expected. It is very slightly wider than it should be between the front seats, and I think tha...

I don't have the answer for you, but I bet if you called an auto glass place they would know.

It's worth a shot, good luck.

I agree with the others, it looks like it can be repaired without too much trouble. Now, is it worth fixing? That is a question only you can answer.
