new Astro Cargo Van Owner in Michigan
Posted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 7:30 pm
just found this forum as I was doing some research on my new 1999 Astro AWD cargo van I just purchased for work. looks like accordin to the previous owner he stated his mechanic said he needs new idler arms for the front end. soon to come I will be doing these myself (any helpful suggestions on easiest way to replace would be great).
I got lucky and purchased it after some haggling, for $900 cash. looks like with all the bin and racks and shelving inside it was easily worth that. got of course the 4.3 vortec in it so I am happy.
the only real big issue I see is that I have no cruise control. this however I never noticed when I purhased. I am going to have to look into this as some of my trips are 2+ hours one way for work. oh well my fault.
so I guess that is a little about my van. now onto me I suppose
I live in Grand Rapids MI. I own a technology / telecom business completetechsolutions.biz and like to travel. have four kids and a wonderful wife.
guess thats the whole run down.
thanks for having such a great forum.
