    I bought 2 MOOG lower control arm bushing kits and 2 upgraded MOOG ball joints to put into my AWD Astro. Turns out the machine shop that I was going to have do the hardware swaps doesn't have the tools to get it done (odd). I could find another one, but I'm going the route of spending an extra...

  3. Technical Information
    Why do some astros have 6 lug wheels? i saw a 6 lug RWD in the classifieds a bit ago. does the fronted just have different hubs or is it beefed up in some way? surely it still has the 4L60 trans? for that matter what all does the AWD have aside from a transfer case?

    I've been kinda creeping on the threads for good info on my 2003 GMC Safari Cargo van with 231,xxx miles and counting, she's an old work horse. Needs about everything. And I've kinda been a big fan of the Astro/Safari platform for years since I could remember especially the AWD and 4wd...

    Hi All. I got 2004 AWD Astro and my ABS light goes on on the same segment of the road on my way to work where the freeway gets a bit jumpy. During the rain season the light never went on. Previously I pulled two ABS modules from junkyards and the issue persist. There is a chance those modules...

    I’d read somewhere that pre 2000 vans will need mods to do the s10 spring swap. True? If so, what do I need? 🙂

    I acquired this beauty a few years ago hoping to build a camper van. Now I am trying to have everything complete for a several month trip starting November 28th! Pulled the engine out the front 2 nights ago and thought I would share some pics. I know everyone wants to drop the subframe, but I...
  15. 4WD,AWD And Transfer Case
    So a few hours and a few hundred miles after buying my van, heard a LOUD THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP on the highway. Pulled off. Wheels looked fine, some play in the CV so I towed it home from there. After inspection, there's A LOT of play on the passenger side CV where it meets the front diff, and...
  16. 4WD,AWD And Transfer Case
    I have the opportunity to buy a complete ‘99 AWD donor car and want to swap the subframe into my ‘02 RWD. The only part that’s intimidating to me is the wiring. Can I just avoid the wiring headache by getting the JOR 4x4 conversion kit or will I need to swap the harness and ECM into my RWD?

  19. 4WD,AWD And Transfer Case
    Okay so I’m new here and have an awd question. I have a 99 Astro van and want to make it awd. I understand how everything works mechanically and electronically. But I’m curious if you can take a awd subframe from an 03 and up van to make it 6 bolt. I’m not sure if the subframe bolts up the same...

    Ive picked up a 2002 AWD astro with 400,000km that had a seized motor as a project. Ive taken the motor apart (looks like previous owners never did maintenance of any kind.) and found that the thrust bearing spun, so the cranks out getting machined. ive also got the block, heads and pistons out...
