My wife and I are thinking about doing a van/camping road trip in the last half of September,through coastal Washington,Oregon and possibly northern California.We're from way north in Alberta so weknow nothing about what seasonable weather norms to expect.I haven't outfitted my Astro van yet but am ...

Bought a fixer upper 99 awd to replace my 95 miled out one.I like the interior of the 95 better,are the door panels interchangeable for these years,just wondering about switches and stuff,I think the mirror adjustment may have to be relocated,just don't know about wiring plug compatability and mount...

I hope to get at this project this summer,but will for sure have some photo documentation along the way. I have some questions, ( no surprise) about this swap.About the flex plate/starter combination.Can I use the 4.3 ring gear and starter? (the van is a 92,the donor is an 88 with a 5 speed)Will the...

Hi! I am new here,well,been registered for awhile and been lurking for even longer, but have never introduced myself.I guess I can face you all now since I just bought my 3rd Astro van.I wasn't going to buy another van but...I was strongly influenced by this site to believe that an Astro van can be ...

JTR won't give me a shipping quote until I commit to buy their product,kinda risky I think.

Hi folks, I'm new to this site,been looking at it for awhile,been driving an Astro(s) since 92,really had good luck with them.One day soon when I figure out how I will post some pics of my past, present and future rides. I just found a 92 Astro EXT RWD with a bad engine about 30 miles from my place....

I plan to lift my 95 AWD 2",Found some studded 235/75R15 tires for cheap,wondering if they will fit under my van. I'm using 15x7 wheels from a 96 GMC 1500.Any thoughts?Will I have clearance issues?

Hi! I'm new here,been driving AWD Astro vans(2) since 1991.I'm making a plan to do a home made 2" lift for my 95,I've found spacers and longer bolts to drop the cradle,but am wondering about pinion angle on the rear diff if I use a 2" block between the rear spring and axle.I thought I woul...
