Mainly dodge caravans, Plymouth voyagers, town and country's, neons. They angle sharply upward and nearly impossible to get a blade on the top

I make a cut underneath behind the last o2 sensor - wrap a chain a couple times around and then hook it to itself and give it a few good tugs forward - things come out - just gotta check after each tug so you don't start pulling other things off.. good tip with the extensions though, I'm gonna have to go get some from HF

I can second that. Pain in the rear. Even with a torch.

Next time you get a dodge minivan cory, or anyone for that matter..if it's a 99, I'm going to need the dash gauges.

Edit: I should say Instrument Panel. With the Speed, miles, etc. The whole **** thing. Or failing that, where I can find one cheap. Don't have a car pick here on the sandbar. Thanks!

Hrrm..Maybe I'll check when I head to Va this weekend for a concert a friend is doing at Toby Keith's Bar. ( He's also on the Voice tonight i think the wife said..haha! )

No rush gents, just putting it out there. I always forget till I'm in the **** thing an it wants to go out on me. Good thing when it does I have a gps that tells me the speed, etc.

Bad me I know, but hey, what can ya do.

Thanks for keeping me in mind, even if a year from now!
