Haven't been on the forum much because I haven't had much to say. Now I do lol Had the front rotors replaced under warranty a couple of weeks ago, that put an end to the nasty vibration in the steering wheel. Still have a bit of a vibration coming down from highway speed, I think the front u- joint ...

Re: My "new" Safari is almost legal!

Nothing really just the two screws that fasting the pillar pieces in place.. have no clue what type of screw it was. Might get another radio bezel.. the one I have now was wrecked by duct tape.

Re: My Safari

Hey there! I was looking at your front end pics.. was your rad support bolted in or welded in originally from the factory? Mine's a 95 and it was a royal PITA to remove and reinstall and my buddy was telling he did a S10 but it was simply bolted in. Of course mine was welded in... curious minds want...

Re: My "new" Safari is almost legal!

My van rolled out of the shop yesterday woohoo!

:rock: Finally after 3 weeks of swearing, cursing and snafu's finally got my van put back together yesterday. I still have some minor issues to deal with, but they can wait for now until I earn some more $$. The body guy who welded in the rad support gave me a HUGE break on the price, mainly because...

Update on my van...

Well this is turning out to be quite the exercise! Thanks to this forum I was prepared as to what to expect putting in another rad support, I told my buddy that there is a good possibility the front end may have sagged after we took out the old one.. he said " naw, a couple of days won't hurt i...

Yup it's a 95, the "new" rad support is from a 98 I think.. if I ever need a rad I will be sure to look for one with a drain valve [-o<

Re: What did you do to/with your van today?

Hmmm.. drained the rad yesterday, took it out, took the battery out and the WWF bottle.. hopefully today it goes back together! :bounce:

Oh ya whoever designed the rad at GM should be tarred and feathered.. how come there is no drain valve on these rads?? :rock:
