Re: SOmething is still running after I trun off Van

Crawl under when you shut it off, nothing I know of in that area but the fuel pump.

Re: 100,000 checkup

Like Joe said, maintain. Use the right fluids. The transfer case can be picky. Flush the cooling system, use whatever antifreeze you like but don't mix n' match. I like the green but astro came with dexfool. DON"'T mix anything with this but new dexcool. I don't care if the bottle says "un...

Re: Wiper goin haywire

Have you looked at the control board Dobie? much easier to get to and has been the fix for 2 astro I've had.
I've pulled the fuse many times in my '93, bumps, fast stops, even the wife after taco bell will set them off. Today the switch sit on a shelf in my shop. I'll get to it! LOL

Re: Weatherstripping for the BIG side windows?

an auto body & glass shop might be able to help you. https://weatherstripdepot.com/collections/chevrolet-g20-gmc-g2500-van-weatherstripping Or an RV dealer, someone that sells mobile homes and trailers. Those type windows were installed by a conversion company when the van was new and the inter...

Re: 1987 Chevy G20 in baby blue

Me too, my '05 has a similar wheel but the clear coat is long gone and I have little ambition to polish them.
The van looks good, I've always liked the swing doors on the side rather than the sliders, they hold up much better long term. Amazing to see an old conversion in such good shape.

Re: Wiper goin haywire

Lol, yeah. AIW, I got that on my '93. Arbitrary, Intermittent Wipers! I've had this issue in an '02 and a '97 as well. First place to look is the wiper motor control board. Pop the cover, IIRC there are 3, #25 or 7 torx screws holding it. Near where the wiring plugs in at the bottom I found cold sol...

Re: no forward gears

Hi CMW, I moved this thread to the right section for you. No, I don't believe you want to re-program anything. If you had a solenoid fall off of it's own accord I would be looking for other mechanical and or electrical issues. Bad grounds or broken wires would be what I look for first. Find a factor...

Re: New member from Long Island

I'm with you chief, just across the Sound. Salt / snow is a common enemy. I went south to find my '93. I'd sharpen your google foo, I remember someone using a saved search on google for results based on distance away, craigslist, marketplace on facebook, government auctions, google can pick up on al...

Re: Small renovation to rear body

Interesting,,, Roof rack on my '93, tin roof, brass nutserts, SS bolt, aluminum track for steel crossbar. Years ago I made a few bucks working on boats on the shore. I worked in marinas and clubs wherever the boat was, scrape the bottoms, paint and repairs. I'd replace and add zincs, remove and reat...
