Good luck! Check your wheel bearings too, you might find one is now loose causing the steering wheel to be off.

Thanks for this write up.. Made it easy, did it today. It is a job that seems a lot worse than it really is.

Isnt 96 when the Vortec V8 started?

32 psi static is too low.. Your system is basically empty. Gotta find the leak and repair. Then vacuum, and refill.

Your static pressure should match ambient temperature on your gauge. You will get that with just a few ounces, so 32 in texas is way too low!

Thats a 15757320. RH Drip Molding. 34.55 at www.shopgmparts.com

I dont have a wiring diagram handy.. But check your fuses. i think the cigarette lighters are powered off the courtesy fuse? ALDL port might be same... Just a thought

Well they have the stock Eagle GA 235/65/15's.. So gotta decide. But I always remember the van driving nice with those tires. Although it was new then too hehe

No its a 5.7L

I may have found a place that sells the OEM tire still... Waiting to hear back.

You know what, I was already thinking of those ones! You like em? I have already added them to my tirerack shopping cart!

Thanks,

Had my 97 Astro emission tested.. Passed just fine as a hot rod class.. But would have passed if they had just ran it as stock.. Here is the report.. Paid my 40 bucks.. Environment is now saved for two years...

Stan, I found this posted somewhere... Not sure if it works.. But it is definately something programmable, rather than having to physically rewire something. Begin with ignition off. Pull the multifuction/turn signal lever towards you and hold. Now turn the key on then off 2 times ending at off. Rel...

I need new tires.. Now that summer tires are back on, and drove in a light rain I know i need to replace em.. My van came with 235/65/15 which they dont make anymore. My last set of tires I got BFG 245/60/15s but I think it is too wide a tire for a stock wheel. Feels too loose, steering feels terrib...

This winter was perfect in Hamilton!! No Complaints here.. Used the snow blower once for four wet inches of snow.. A few dustings I used my backpack blower. Drained the tank on the snow blower today and got 3/4 gallon on the gallon tank. Great Winter.. Second week of march and hit 65 degrees. Cant c...
