    Anyone still do remote start installs floating around? (2023 Chevrolet Express needs remote locks)

    My new motorhome (23 Chevrolet Express Cutaway) doesn't even have a FOB for the doors, but does have power locks.

    Chevrolet Express 3500 "mods"

    We purchased a brand new Express-Based Motorhome over the weekend after quite a lot of planning and wheeling/dealing, and part of buying this one specifically was that it was a Chevrolet based platform and not the newer Ford one.

    WTB Long Shot - Any "Junk" EFI Jeep with a 4.0, The even longer shot - A matching 2WD Manual Transmission

    James confirmed our inherited Rambler wagon has a seized oil pump gear. Although it may be salvagable, I've committed back when we got this thing that "if the engine has to come out for a repair, something else is going in".
