RE: Code name “Baby” - GotSmart - 03-11-2023
I would look it up on rock auto to see what the names and numbers are.
Most of the prices for what you need are a lot less than for a new van.
I’m gathering parts myself just waiting for a nice day when I can find help.

Yep, they are one of my go-tos

Also looking at front shocks (they sound like little donkeys, going over bumps)
Y’all know vans and how the older Dodges can get a smidge weebley in the front end.. looking for good handling shocks… so
Gabriel - Ultra Truck
or
Monroe - Gas Magnum
?

I went with KYB Gas A Just, 15+ years ago. Still firm dampening.
Read a few reports they are not now, what they once were, but no idea if true.

Not much anymore is now, what it used to be. Brand names are mostly a facade.
Last century's "Made in USA" is now "Made in China", without the requirement of stating "Made in China" anywhere on the packaging, if built in a foreign owned facility located in China.

Got some floor in- no edge work done yet, but I like my choice.. aged walnut grays with touches of warm wood colors. Should go well with nearly anything. (Pardon the 1x3 and remaining vinyl…)

Silly van near gave me a heart attack- lol
Pulling out of the driveway- I caught a glimpse of a warning light on the dash.. it would flick on every time I cornered.. right behind the steering wheel- hard to see, same area as CEL!
Turns out I am low on washer fluid ..

This might work.
Either way you need it for free.
