I find the site to very useful in addressing issues not well covered in the various manuals. I have a 1998 Safari with 175,000 miles that is used primarily to haul the kids' stuff back and forth to college (soon to end) and for other working duties. I am looking forward to learning more about keeping the truck running well.

Welcome from way south. You're in the right place. 175K is impressive, you're doing something right!
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....
