I had 2 of them over the time I did construction, an 06 and a '12, both long wheel base 2500s with the 4.8, they were awesome vans, bulletproof and didn't ask for much. We pulled trailers way too heavy, ran them overloaded all the time and drove the wheels off of them. The 06 was my favorite. It was a dog, but it was a good van

First, a wagon of that era without a roof rack is so rare I can't remember ever seeing one before, and it really slickens it up. Second, that GV unit is worth about half the value of the car, and you know the cheapest bang for your performance buck would be to swap those highway gears for something in the mid-threes. The 3.42 in that 2+2 is what made your eyes get big when you first nailed it.
