Looks good, can we get some pictures from underneath?

Welcome, and good luck with sale!

Low power can be a crap ton of stuff, start with the basics.

i added removal to the search terms and managed to find what I needed Glad you found what you needed, would be awesome to link it here for the next guy to come across your post. Also, a lot of the information you seek can be found in the GM Techline eSI digital factory service manual(links in sig).

Hi, I am Spencer from Nebraska. New to the Astro/Safari world, and looking forward to make a solid winter vehicle out of my $500 purchase. Welcome to the site! One of my favorite things about these vans, how cheap they can be had and still last a long time :) No pictures of the van yet, will get so...

Definitely points to a problem with a worn/damaged key and/or cylinder at a minimum.

$750 does sound like Hawaii prices, should probably learn to do this stuff yourself if possible. If you are a DOD ID card holder, check into the Auto Skills/Hobby shops. You can store and work on your vehicles there plus find plenty of people willing to give you some local guidance. Get the GM Techl...

Just like some of our vans came with a different number of leaf springs in the back, definitely could/would have made a difference.
Maybe look up the part numbers on the GM websites and compare.

Neither dash displays 'codes', just a few gauges and some lights. Usually you can get all of that stuff to work, but it may not be easy. The shifting mechanism would be different as well. For resale value and to make it easy on the next guy, the simplest is to use exactly what belongs in there. But ...

Welcome to the site. The junk yard has an interchange manual and they are pretty darn accurate. Where the confusion comes in is that it's the same alternator on many vehicles between years. So yes, your 2005 Astro might use the same alternator as the 2007 Silverado/Express/Savana/ETC. Generally, jus...

Got videos?

Good find. I wonder if Daystar has something that will fit, something like: https://amzn.to/33U4aBH

Couldn't quickly find a cross reference, but something I want to look into. They have the same kit for many vehicles, so I'm sure we could find something to fit.

I did mine solo, not all that hard. I brought some rope with me to the junkyard, tied off the door before unbolting and then lowered it down using the rope itself...wasn't hard at all. I then did the same on mine at home, neither time did I encounter any issues. :thumbup: I wonder if that is where ...

On axles that are designed to have hub-centric mounting(virtually all of them), it's hands down the best way to do it. IMO if you are going to spend money on aftermarket wheels, might as well do it right.

I had found the diagram for the Dutch doors in a Haynes manual I purchased used, but could not find the Barn Door diagram. I will have to review these and see if I can trace the problem. The timing is great as I'm going to remove the door panels to replace the mirrors anyway; I can check the door s...

I found a swap oil pan made by a company that does swaps already made and leak tested for 200 cash. I will be picking it up here in two weeks. I will see if he has any more when I get it and post a picture and his info. Used 4.3 oil pan for 4x4 /awd is 50 plus my work taking ir off and cleaning it....

Hi! The bulb in my switch is dead. Since these switches are no longer available brand new, is there a solution To change the led/halogen bulb in these 3 switches? Thanks a lot Yep, you can simply replace them with incandescent or LED bulbs. Someone did a great write-up with lots of helpful pictures...
