oppinions on a possible purchase 2001 astro

I have found a 2001 astro AWD cargo 213000 miles and says it has a blown head gasket. UNDER $1000. I was thinking it would be a good buy even if I just put a new long block in it. I would just have to find the money to pick it up and put an engine in it. I think I could be into it less than $2500 if...

Re: Im BACK! and want advice

I have seen the S-10 front diff stuff I was wondering if the LD 2500 front diff stuff would work. I dont know if its too wide or the same size as the s-10 front diff. I do know that s-10 half shafts are shorter than full size rigs but is that the only place the width between a s-10 and a full size d...

The tire size really shouldnt affect anything other than the speedo speed and your actual real speed.(I suppose it can affect the engines performance with a differnt sped in relation to RPM, but thats a differnt subject) As far as I know the AWD transfercases sence wheel slip so it shouldnt matter w...

Re: Im BACK! and want advice

I want an AWD astro or safari. From what I read everyone has been using the s-10 axle half in the front to get the part time axle disconnect stuff. Rather than the vans AWD unit.

Re: Im BACK! and want advice

Oh I had a few questions too. I have been reading everything I can on here about the part time x-case swaps and it seams everyone is using s-10 stuff. I have a 94 gmc 2500 6 lug(basically a glorified half ton) out back that is dead. It has a blown engine, new 4l60e with around 3000 miles on it, an N...
