Re: Need new tires
OK good. And, I just learned that the Astros later than my 02 have 16" wheels. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the wheels pictured are 6 lug, thus 16". So, I have to find some tall 15s to increase my clearance. Thanks for your help.

Re: Need new tires
OK, I just looked closer & those pics show 6 bolts, thus, 16" I'll bet. And I just checked my 02 & it has 15s. Thanks for the help. Guess ill have to go for 225/70/15s.

Re: Need new tires
Ooooh........you just taught me something! I didn't know any Astros came w/ 16s. Do you know if they're the same bolt pattern? Thanks for your reply.

OK, got my 02 Astro AWD AC & interior lights working & now it rained. Usually that's reeeaally good down here in TX but the Astro leaked around the top of the windshield. Crap, and it quit dripping pretty quickly & just started soaking up the headliner. So....... Is it leaking around th...

Re: My Safari Gt mini-rv
Congrats! Your van is one to brag about. Tons of work went into it, obviously. Would be real handy out here in Colorado. Gives me ideas for my 97 Safari AWD. I recently bought a 02 Astro AWD for daily driver. I love your van & mine, & this forum! Have fun, most importantly!

Re: Bravado tranny in Safari won't shift.
Thanks for your reply to my plea for help. I Looked at receipt for Bravado tranny & no year model was on it, just quite a few numbers. I'm no mechanic, & I'm at my trailer in Silver Cliff, Colorado for the summer, so I called my mechanic of many years in TX who told me to go to a transmissi...

Bravado tranny in Safari won't shift.
I just had a Used Bravado AWD tranny installed in my 97 Safari AWD & it only goes into 2nd or 3rd, and only those gears manually. Tranny shifted correctly before removed from the Bravado, I was told. Anyone know if some electronics could be hooked up wrong, or what else could be causing this pr...

Re: 1st or second generation van
Thanks. I should have remembered that 1st gen is EFI. Heck, I drove an 1989 up to 260,000 miles but as the decades speed by, my memory is leaving proportionately. I'm waiting for a mechanic it install a transmission in my $350.00 AWD Safari that I have out here in Colorado. Thanks again!

Re: 1st or second generation van
Did they go to EFI with the other changes to the 2nd generation?

Re: Coppermine?
Nope, we have a "Coppermine" gallery that seems to be "tech info & how to guides for ASV users". Just wondering how you use it, never heard of it before.

Re: Bought what I thought was a parts van.
i just bought what I thought was a 97 Safari AWD parts van for $350. & it may be one. Has 250,000 on odom. I'm gambling though, and am putting a tranny in it. It drives good except that after tranny warmed up, it quits. Park it for a few minutes & drive it again. AC even blows cold. Everyth...
