Re: Astro Mileages

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!

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.

Re: Astro Mileages

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*)

Thumbs up Re: Astro Mileages

'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.

Re: Astro Mileages

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
