Re: air ride works, kind of?

or you can get a set of conversion shocks from strutmasters and completely eliminate the air system all together. I have a 2002 with 188,000 miles and these work fantastic!

I replaced ...

Re: front seatbelt replacement

Awesome! Thanks! Looks like more than I want to tackle with the seat covers being as old as they are. I will bring it by the upholstery shop in town and see if he will be willing to swap the belt mechanism out for me.

Seatbelt replacement

Is there anyway to replace the seatbelt on the front driver seat? It is extremely worn and no longer lays flat, it is also a pain to buckle. Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement belt and tell me how to go about replacing it? Thanks!

So I brought it to a shop and had the codes read and it comes up with B1214 ...
