Huh. I didn't even think about that. Oh well :explode:

Hey, it worked on mine! Held the neck there perfectly for 2 years.

ctpowertrain ebay seller is who I always got my Transgo kit from. I got the one that had a new plate (because the original is always beat up).

Ya know what I did when mine did that? Get ready to laugh... I supported the filler neck where it was supposed to sit by using a piece of cardboard with a hole (and slit) cut in it and stuffing it up in the body cavity so the filler neck stayed put. Then, I sprayed "great stuff" expanding foam...

Recently did a little maintenance on the van. Took longer than it should just because I've never had the van jacked up since we bought it about a year ago. (yeah yeah yeah but it hasn't needed anything...) Seems strange to me that the Odyssey with a 3.5L V6 uses the exact same oil filter as the...

Just to rule it out, stick a regular bulb in just to make sure nothing is whack with the LEDs.

There are forum categories for a reason, to keep things tidy. And what's with the "don't complain and be good little soldiers" comment coming from? I don't see how you're getting that from Moose's reply...

So the last few days saga... Tore down the wall. Rotted all to heck. This was Tuesday. Kept tearing down until I got the rot out, including cutting out chunks of the subfloor. Oh geez, what did I get myself into.... :yikes: This was Wednesday afternoon, And it was supposed to rain on...

Well I got a nice bit of drywall cut out around the double window and what I've determined so far: - Sill boards are rotted and loose and need replaced - Vertical support boards are damaged, unsure of extent or if they need replaced yet - OSB sheathing behind the siding is rotted - The bottom...

Blinky red light means danger

Well I'm just warning you from past experience what you see is only a portion of what's actually going on. Visible rust tends to be like an iceberg, the rest is hidden but once you start grinding it out you'll find the affected spot is much bigger than what is initially visible.

I think some of these big name unions are just the flipside of the same darn coin. They scream about corporate greed, but they do the same type of stuff with the union itself getting rich off the rest of the workers they're supposed to represent. Some force keeping some worthless workers on the...

And the projects keep piling up. I started tearing the drywall off around the windows in one room because an old water leak from a few years ago I knew had to have caused some damage, and the cold air in the winter just blows through there. One of those things I need to fix but have dreaded...

Sometimes you just gotta start grinding and see what you end up with. Get a rattle can base and a clear and try to blend it as best as you can? I have no experience with doing any actual half decent paint job. I used bed liner on the lower half of my Trailblazer (followed body lines) when I did...

Found the problem with our ice maker. The wire harness at the bottom hinge gets flexed and pulled back and forth until the wires start to break. Hmm, sounds familiar - GMT360 liftgate harness anyone? The official fix is replace the entire $1200 door because the harness is routed through the...
