  1. V8 Swap
    I'm 90 percent through a TPI swap on a 97 safari and I learned that my transmission is a freshly rebuilt 4l60e from the PO. I know very little about these transmissions, what inputs does it really need? Just TPS and VSS? Or is a MAF signal required? Engine runs and I'm finishing up the wiring...

    Hi, I'm getting ready to do the transmission and transfer case swaps in my 91 awd astro. The transmission and t-case are both shot, and it needs a new rear main seal. I'm wondering which transmissions and transfer cases would be compatible with the stock 4.3 v6, for the best fit? I'm probably...
  3. Engines
    Im so tired of this problem. I bought a 2001 Astro about 2 months ago. Its got a 5 in lift and a journeys t case as well. it always ran crappy and i got a discount because of it. I always assumed it was the transmission because i was getting error codes for 2/3 solenoid going out and it drove...

    Noticed a small leak coming from transmission, one day it was a small puddle. After doing some research I found it could be the transmission output seal , or possible the yoke ? Which does this look like? Also, my transmission clunks pretty hard when shifting from park to gear… with seeing this...

    The transmission is going on my 03 AWD Astro (third gear is gone). There is a 4L60e close by that was pulled out from an 05 blazer/jimmy? I imagine it would work fine, but can anyone confirm? Thanks! Its automatic 4x4 tranny. Thanks so much dudes!

    TLDR for that paragraph: battery is good, starter is good, starter wiring is good but when i try to start the dash lights dim and nothing else happens. Trans position light goes out a few seconds after power come on. Maybe the computer wont let the van start because it doesnt know if the trans...

    I've just about removed the transmission in my van (That bike my dad built is my only means of transport until I fix my baby) just waiting to put new one in the only thing holding the old one now is a motorcycle jack and the torsion bars as they are still in the crossmember I bought this tool...
  8. 4WD,AWD And Transfer Case
    Hello, I have a 1996 AWD Astro and lately it has been having some issues getting up to speed. Everything starts up fine, but when I push the gas when trying to get up to speed, the engine will rev but the van won't move. I have to lightly press the gas and get it slowly up to speed, otherwise...

    Hello. My van is at a stand still currently. I believe I have a transmission issue but not completely sure. I’ve always had the p1870 code on and off. And a bad wine from the power steering pump or possibly hydro boost? (Not sure if that’s possible). I got more wine with more brake pedal...

    Hello, our astro has an problem that it will not shift from first gear anymore. The transmission is fully inspected by an professional and no fault was found. We are aware that there is too much transmission oil, but could that be the cause for it not to shift up from the first gear? And i...
  11. Automatic
    When the weather is hot and I am in stop and go traffic the transmission seems not to want to shift as soon as it normally would. I have several questions about this, the answers to which may help me to understand what's going on and what I might do about it. First of all is the stock...
  12. Automatic
    This is a rehash of a rehash of a rehash, and I'm really sorry, but I keep getting somewhat conflicting information. Most information I've gotten makes me think that mine has a deep pan. It's also a 2000 so I believe I read somewhere that some '97s and all '98s and above have deep pans, but I...
  13. Rear-End
    Hello all, This is my first post on the forum, I received a 2001 Astro as payment for a welding job I did this last January. As long as I've had the van, its had a nice consistent howl as long as the van is moving at 5mph or at 60 the howl is there. The previous owner told me he noticed the howl...
