I finished up my tranny installation and went for a short test drive. Finished up too late to check the computer so sadly I won't be driving it to work tomorrow...but hopefully soon!

went to the junkyard. picked up a cb for it (still need the antenna and the mic), but hey- cb's are cool
also picked up a pioneer 2 shaft 2 channel radio (from 1987) out of an obliterated blazer, a new photocell sensor for the caddy's headlamps, and some hood trim for a caddy

Did the seafoam cost more than the fuel you saved afterwards? Lol...timelessbeing wrote:poured a can of seafoam into half a tank of gas with the hopes of improving fuel consumption.
I hauled 2000 pounds of pressed wood firebricks up the mountain to my place.
half in the van, and half in a trailer.
Ah, Nice toasty fire tonight.

It wasn't today but... I finally got to put some miles on the van on Tuesday. Running errands, etc. I really like this van and I am very happy with the way it turned out. I got a stare down and double take from a kid in a lifted S10 Blazer 
I think he couldn't tell if it was factory height or not... probably drove around the rest of the day checking out every Astro/Safari he saw.
Oh... I did dump a can of Sea Foam in
Going to Delaware Sunday to watch a Vintage Motorcycle Observed Trials... good chance to check the fuel consumption.

I drove my van to work for the first time in 6 months! It was quiet, warm, smooth and powerful. I felt like king of the road again! I LOVE my van!

Did a lube, oil and filter change. Also adjusted the steering box 3/8 of a turn. Drives MUCH straighter now!

I went over to Costco today to pick up some new windshield wipers but found out the application booklet did not have a listing for the astro van. Oh these rare vehicles we own...right? Well, I bought every size 16-21. Turns out-the 21's fit. They run right up to the edge and for the first time...the windshield is clear edge to edge. Woot!

I replaced mine a while back... I also couldn't really find anything, so I just eyeballed it... Think I got 17 or so... Way too small, but they work, so I'm not about to replace them until I need to.Meterpig wrote:I went over to Costco today to pick up some new windshield wipers but found out the application booklet did not have a listing for the astro van.
