Howdy all.. just picked up this fine 2002 1500 van through a theft recovery dealer. It is in great shape and I am quite excited as this could well be the van of my dreams. I have many mods and customizations planned for this! I plan to re-fit about 90% of its very basic interior, install a big stereo or maybe a carputer type setup, put roof racks on for carrying kayaks, and generally turn it into one mean lean cruising machine! When its ready its gonna go across the continent on year long kayaking trip

So, Ill probably be on here asking some questions and getting some advice. My first question is where I can find a factory service manual for this thing?

Anyone else on here gotta ram van like this one?

Robert,

Welcome to DF. This is the place to come for getting ideas, checking out other peoples rides, asking questions and sharing knowledge. Lots of good people here. Glad to have you aboard.

We look forward to seeing and reading about your future mods. Good luck and have fun.

Welcome aboard!! Great to hear you are so excited about your new van. Was it badly damaged before you got it due it being stolen?

Welcome to the site.

 

nope! At least... not that I could detect. But my all of my investigations were postive.. title check confirmed it had been stolen for a month before being recovered, it was stolen in DC so most likely it just got driven across town and abandoned but I guess there is no easy to know what really happened there. Mechanic said it is in excellent shape, and best of all it only has 32000 miles so far... so thats only 10% of its life at the minimum.

Now my only problem is people is my family wanting to borrow it.... jeese before I have barely had a chance to go to the grocery store with it.[:'(]
