Hey i have an 08 b2300, i've got 45000km on it and im already having some pretty major problems they've had to replace the cd player twice and now my power steering pump has gone! Is anyone else having these problems? Also I'm interested in doing some pretty hefty mods such as installing a transfer case to make it a 4x4 and lifting it has anyone done a 4x4 conversion on a vehicle this new? and if so how difficult and what kind of problems were incountered
thanks Mike

sell it and get a one that's already 4wd, converting it would take lots of custom fab work. also sorry to hear about the problems youve been having hopefully your under warrenty

since it's a 2.3L, I know it's got coilspring suspension up front. and well...your only option is a solid axle.

If you got a 2wd edge/sport or dualsport truck with torsion bars....swapping it to a factory 4x4 is actually cheap and pretty easy to do. $5,000 premium when new, can be done for about $1,000 in your driveway. But again..you dont have the proper suspension on your truck. Completely different frame up there as well.
