Express Van Side door panels
I have worked a little more on the van ..... I am going to modify the side door panels that
came off a passenger van...with No side windows in the doors in doing so they connect to the door the same way but there is
NO window gasket to hold the clip in place... ( see pic ) so I marked and drilled the clips
and then popped riveted the clips into place.... ( see pic )....there are 4 clips per door I am now ready to sand the panels
and then modify them for covering.

you mean electronics?, seats are from junkyard for 60 bucks but I made them fit to the van rails, so they comply with state inspection, few leds just to add better look for gauges, and new obdII plug inn computer from Edge products, All bottom since its 3500 has same parts numbers as Hummer H2 so crossdrilled performance rotors were easy replacement.
after fix
before , all rusted and nasty

Can confirm, the 2008+ vans do indeed show the outside temp, but they don't show transmission temp, current gear, and torque converter slippage. The pre-2007 show the opposite. The closest I got for the outside temp was the air intake temp, which only approaches real outside temperature during long highway runs. City driving, it shows a lot higher.

Awsome job.... I like seeing what others have done and are doing to their vans....
keep given posts... and be more specific as to what you have done and what
parts you replace.. just think of it as telling a story... everyone has one...
and pics represent the story... I have another one.....
just finished my dash cover.. for the ones that have followed along I had a problem
with the one I ordered.. It didnt have the defrost vent on the pass side cut out..
well after all that I went threw.. I eliminated it anyways.. GO FIGURE.. lol
OK STAN.... this is time..were I get to see my nick name.... HAHAHAHA..

Hi, is the outside temp, in your available green list? It is on my 08 and seems to work. Think Artie1 said the computer has to have a sensor to be picked up by Torque, which I thought was the green list. Can you add items like the trans temp, if they are not on the green list?

NO... and thats were I am the most confused.... I have been told to just edit the PID. ( make a new one ) and
I have what seems as though I have and it still does not work.....
I cant get the oil pressure or oil temp.. or the trans temp.
I would hope that someone can give me some insight to this ... its really frustrated me
to the point I AM COVERING EVERY DAM THING IN MY VAN .... lol JK....

I am reading right that you have a 2008 ?
Miine is a 2006 so I am sure there are going to be things that you have that I dont
in the aspect of the ECU... I dont have the oil pressure highlighted in green...
and thats plane stupid.. if you ask me... I have a gauge on the dash... why wouldnt
the computer read and tell oil pressure ?
