Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

Our 1993 Chevy Lumina with the 3.1 L engine has over 210,000 miles on it. I thought it more dependable on a recent vacation trip to Nebraska than our 1993 Buick Park Avenue. I replaced the ball joints and the drivers side tie rod end, and my daughter and I aligned it to 3/8" toe in. Drove beautifully. Checked the mileage and we were getting between 34.4 and 34.6 MPG. I run Valvoline 10-30 Synthetic oil in it. Only problem we had the whole trip was a leak in the heater hose just under the intake at the air. Got another 4" piece of heater hose, replaced it with the existing clamps, and we were off again. Cost of repair.. nada! My friend in Oshkosh, NE had a piece of 3/4" heater hose in his quanset. Drives and stears wonderful!! New tires on it and only thing is some rust and some of the interior lights? may not be working.

Wouldn't sell it for $3000.00 as I conside it a great car for gas mileage and well built .. will get me there and back!

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 1990 Lumina Euro 3.1 2 door which I have owned since new. It has 261,000 miles. Original Powertrain. 3rd computer, 3rd alternator 4th battery.
My problem. BAD Ventilation air flow, and I have disassembled everything. I posted to a thread on this repeatedly and no one answered. Any Ideas?

Are you tryin to say that you had one with 444 thousand miles on it??? Now you have one with 320 thousand? If so that is so cool. You should post a picture of your odometer. It's not often you see a vehicle, let alone a passenger sedan with that many!

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

'99 Lumina LTZ 3.8L. 195,000. Runs great. Gets down and moves with lots of power. I pull two snowmobiles in the winter and a fiberglass boat in the summer. Sometimes (most the time) difficult to pull boat out of water because of the front wheel drive. Had to replace valve in tranny at 90,000 because it hopped and jumped when it shifted. It is starting to come back. A/C clutch started chattering and was too lazy to fix and to cheap to pay someone so now I suffer in the heat. Had to replace window control and lock control on drivers door likely do to rolling down window with snow and water on windshied. Replaced ball joints, tie rods, and rear struts. Bought for $3,000 at 80,000 miles.

Interesting that I found out tonight that the center brake light works but the tail light brake lights do not. Fuses are fine and so are bulbs. Richie Straff above stated the same thing and says it is multi-function switch.

Have to remove steel bars under hood to get at fuses, battery, and A/C coupling. WTF? Why 3 fuse blocks? 1 inside passenger door and 1 under each steel bar under the hood. Cannot even open fuse block becuase of the damn bars.

Wow. I'm impressed. I hope my '99 LTZ will last that long. Just bought it a month ago with 64XXX miles. I'll be swapping back and forth between it and my '93 lumina (186K).
