1995 astro gladiator conversion 191,000 miles and runs great when the security system will let me start it.

93 Astro EXT LT w/v-6. All power. 2nd owner. got at 100,000 & now has 345,000 on it & other than fuel pump & water pump, still going strong. Reg service does wonders for them.:runaround:

Regular maintenance is the answer: 2002 with 349,000 miles. Engine, trans and rear axle have never been apart other than for normal fluid and filter changes, and it's had a LOT of them!

I have a 1999 Astro LS. 218,000 miles,with the origianl engine and trans. 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.

Got a 1995 Astro cargo van 4.3 L 221,000 got it june 2009

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*)

Got a 98 with 150,XXX. Still kickin........ (with a little TLC) Pull my boat to the lake every weekend

'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.

I have a 2000 LS AWD with 185000 strongest running van I've ever purchased !!!!!

I wouldn't sell this for all the tea in China

My '02 AWD astro has 167K + hard earned miles, still going strong!! Ive put over 100K on it since i bought it in '06. I love this van my kids and i are going on the road with it soon :)

1996 safari... all original 216K, but starting issues currently

3 vans:
1999 passanger- 335,000km- no signifacant engine, trans work, rear end rebuilt a few years ago, very happy with this one, definately got our moneys worth
2002 cargo- 181,000km- do not have much knowledge of history, more or less happy with this one
2003 passanger- 136,000km- have only had it for a few months, so far so good except for ABS issue

I have a 1996 with 204,000 miles AWD

I have a 95 Astro with 249,500 miles. Hope I can make it to a quarter million! Had to replace transmission after a oil cooling line leaked about 10,000 miles ago.

Just picked up a '99 Safari XLE AWD with 268,860 on the clock - it runs really well, too.

Hey Y'all,

My '93 Astro work truck shows 307,000 mi on the odo. Engine: original, Tranny: rebuilt at 150,000 mi. Smells and Runs like a John Deere...
Wouldn't trade it for a Caddy!
