Hi! New member from Sulphur, Oklahoma.

Post by JTalley »

Hi! I'm Jake. I'm 16 and I just got my Astro on the 19th. His name is Ed, and he's a 1992 with RWD and the 4.3l V6.I traded my old Blazer in for it. Hopefully by joining this forum I can make some new friends and learn a bit about my Astro.
Here's a picture of me with the van.

Yep. I see him driving down the street every now and then. I've even gotten scrap leather for projects from his dumpsters.

Wecome Jake,
you are definitely in the right place.
'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....
