Re: Heating issues
I had a 1998 Trans Sport (same body as Montana) that had the same problem. Drove beautifully, so smooth and powerful, awesome a/c just too bad about the body.. Rusted big time !
Drove that van for almost 8 years and over the years we noticed less and less heat in the winter ! Got so bad we had heated seat pads and a little heater in their, the last winter it could barely defrost the windshield here in Ottawa, Canada ! Brrrrr (summer & winter) and great ! ride is what I remember of that van.
At first I started investigating a possible hot/cold air circulation door being stuck but I dug into the dash a bit behind the glove box and ruled that out.
Although I never repaired it before I finally parked it for good my money is on blocked/almost finished heater core. That ol' 98 of mine never showed any signs of intake/head gasket issue, just drove beautifully, but would barely put any heat while driving and it would go cold when you stopped !.. I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette now (no heat issues, needs a a/c line replaced tho.. rear one, doing it soon).. Love it !!
Good Luck
