The Stay Puft Marshmallow Van started smoking on cold starts, and while investigating, I found oil in the coolant.

She still runs and drives fine, but now she'll have to go under the knife to get that fixed.
Wasn't a good time for this to happen since all my workspace is taken up by non-runners right now, and I have tons of other stuff I've been busy with.
Oh well, it could always be worse.

Yeah, good point Wedgy.
I was safe at home, and it still moves under its own power, so there's that.
My little one was heartbroken when I told him our van was "broken".
He said, "Well, fix it then!" LOL

Besides working on our vans, we have been also working on my lady’s GMC 4x4. We’ve upgraded cooling, intake, carb, transmission lines and all new power steering system. Since we are all mostly gearheads here and I certainly appreciate when others post things they are working on, figured I would share today. It’s out at a glass shop today to get all the glass re sealed and vent windows put back in. This is her first project and has kicked butt getting the work done. Very proud.

Today Lil' Shitty got some Ground Force 2" lowering coils.

Pretty sure my van actually had longer springs than stock up front, because it was riding extra high and the new coils dropped the front significantly more than 2".

Much to my delight the van rides and handles BETTER than before, and the stance looks great.
