So I am about to do an enormous job...GMC Savana van, the entire thing. I need to know before unloading $2,000, is this stuff really, really worth it?

I'd use a cheaper product like Fatmat, or KnoKnoise 80mil. (highly recommend).

It works great you dont have to cover every square inch its worth the money , I had a 97 dodge cummins , spent 500$ and its was as quiet as agas rig

I have a 2013 Acura ILX. Dynamat made a significant difference in my car. I did the doors, trunk, and entire floor area. I do suggest you purchase a set of trim removal tools (from Amazon). They will be extremely valuable in getting things apart. Don't expect miracles, but it will make a difference.

Hello, it all depends on driving style. This definitely has the ability to increase MPG. Its not a huge amount though, so justifying the purchase simply for MPG might end up being a wash.

I think the computer is worth it, especially for that amount of money. I would buy it off you for $500 if you would like. I mean if you not going to buy it let someone else get it right? :)

Im pretty sure it is strong enough. It pulled out my GMC Seirra no problem at all. I would do more research if you are worried though.

You are welcome. Don't listen too much to the guy stating that the product is cheaply made. Hell! My truck is a 2000. If this handle lasts half as long as the OEM, that means I'll have it for like 7 or 8 years. For the money, that's a GREAT deal!! Plus it took like 10 minutes to flip out. I figure I'll treat it gently for 7 or 8 years and If I still have the truck and it breaks, I'll buy another. I would not pay for an OEM for $125. From what I understand, they're cheaply made too.

I have had one for about 5 months. Seems to be decent. I use it every day as a helicopter mechanic. Only fault I had with the thing is the handle mounting to push around the hangar seemed a little weak initially. I haven't had problems with it yet though. In a van it would be no problem. Drawers have a detent that keep them closed, but no positive lock besides the key, so I'd recommend that before driving. I did have a parts/ziplock type bag get pushed out of the top drawer and fell behind the others. It kept many of the right side drawers from being locked properly with the key, but the drawers opened and closed with no problems otherwise. Once I found the bag behind the drawers, no more problems. It's a good box. It came with the wheels pre mounted when I got mine. I would buy the thing again. It's hard to beat it for the price.

If you plan on keeping the vehicle it would be a good idea. It wa the easiest part of the job. Scraping the old rubber that is sealed to the outside of the bearing was the most time consuming part. Took me 30 mins to get it clean. Well worth the time and money considering the dealer will charge you $1,380.00... Poor design by VW/Porshe if you ask me.

That's correct.This thing is a colossal waste of money at least the two I received.Look on craigslist and find a commercial unit if you plan on doing anything big.

To be honest bro if I had to do it over Id buy the more expensive car that's better quality. It doesn't drive all that well, and the battery charger already broke from just regular use after two weeks. I must say it is pretty fast for the price. But you get what you pay for. Good luck bruh

I don't know the answers to your questions but I will tell you this.I had an earlier version of this product for several years and it was very nice and excellent quality.I bought a newer one when I traded that van in - the one in this message and I found it to be verypoor quality. TSI had greatly reduced the quality level over my prior one. Personally I would continuelooking for another alternative. My 2 cents on the subject.

This thing is overkill for that. But yes, if you have a huge place to mount it. I run my entire shop off of this thing. You might be more interested in something smaller rated at 2000-3000 to do what your wanting. I actually run a small pancake compressor off of a good 1000 and it does fine but I can only run one tool at a time off of that. If you get much larger you will definitely notice the load on your vehicle. I hope this helps!

Oh ya, god knows I've put mine through the ringer. And it still rocks. Parts are cheap to. But it is by far the fastest truck I've ever seen . Will smoke the gas engines.

as a fellow tacoma owner i would say dont put a $45 unit into a $30,000 truck. buy something nicer. IMO

I Replaced the tranny in my truck at home with no problems, and i like to think i know my way around a garage. that being said It gives pretty detailed instructions on installation, and after reading them, I knew I was in over my head. Do yourself a favor, buy the kit, and bring it to a tranny shop to have it installed. You might spent $200-$250. But at least if there is a problem, it will be on them, not you.

Yes, lots of it. Took several hours and you need help to lift the top. It was worth it though!
