Hi..... I bought my 1st astro brand spanking new in 1988 and chevy bought it back from me after 12,000 miles. The only thing that did not break was the engine block itself. At 12,000 miles the transmission blew a hole in the case. They put a new trans in and it would not shift into 4th......Changed computer and wiring harness and still no go. They bought it back for full price???????? strange things. Now have a 98 with 135,000 miles that I have spent a grand total of $500 in repairs. Just pick up a 99 Sharrod safari with a bad motor with milkshake oiling system. Quick somebody talk me into a V8!
Funny, I had GM buy back a 2001 Z24, that was a total piece sh t. They then offered me a deal I could not refuse on an brand new 2004, 2500 Sierra that I has never given me any big issues.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.
name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....
