Ihave eplaced the water pump, fuel pump, and too many caps and rotors. I come here to keep it going!!!!!!!! A/C Delco distributor caps and rotors will outlast and out perform ANY other brand. Make sure you use silicone dielectric grease on each terminal, inside and out, of the cap. gelcol 06-06-2010, 09:37 PM june 6,2010 Got a 1995 Astro cargo van 4.3 L 221,000 got it june 2009 Truck 06-07-2010, 07:37 PM 1997 AWD. 158K as of today. Got it in 2006 with 97K. It sat for a year and a half awaiting a fuel pump. In two and a half years, 60K miles? No major repairs, other than the fuel pump, and the belt tensioner pulley...(the famous last words of the helper on that one were, "Keep going...you still have a lot of bolt showing!" *snap*) ER|BeerMan 06-23-2010, 04:05 PM Got a 98 with 150,XXX. Still kickin........ (with a little TLC) Pull my boat to the lake every weekend grampsVVV 07-09-2010, 01:38 PM '99 former utility company fleet vehicle - 139000 mi. ... now well over 150,000 and running strong except for a very recent (couple of weeks, most) slight ticking noise on humid/wet days until warm. Not rings. I'm told rockers and lifters are baseline at the bottom with little room for adjustment. Could that be my only prob? Hope so. 22 mpg recently no spare/cargo suite. ckt1965 07-21-2010, 04:55 PM I have a 2000 LS AWD with 185000 strongest running van I've ever purchased !!!!! :iceslolan I wouldn't sell this for all the tea in China shortcakegirl 08-01-2010, 08:57 AM My '02 AWD astro has 167K + hard earned miles, still going strong!!
