Odd vibrations on my 91 only occuring in Drive at a stop?

So my 1991 RWD ext Astro with just about 187k miles on it has had an odd vibration only occurring while in gear at a complete stop? Not sure where its coming from but feels more towards my front end near the dog house almost. The vibrations usually do not start until the van is completely warmed up ...

Re: On the verge of overheating going up hills?

Just noticed my image before did not load. This is what my gauge climbs past as i start climbing hills. It has only so far come up JUST below the yellow marker. Not sure if that is normal? I just got a new T-Stat to see if its a simple fix. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb353/Derek939/photo.jp...

Re: 99 struggling

Awesome! So I just need to pull my air filter housing out and lift up on the throttle body and this will be down there?

Thanks again!

Re: Anyone have beds in your van?
