1989 Astro Rebuilt auto tranny round 170,000. 226,500 right now, just developed an occasional stall problem when comming to a stop. This has now progressed to a rough start and irratic, very rough idle, can't be driven. I

will miss this van very much

Girard,
Don't know if you got your answer yet but my '94 took R-134.

Billy,
Don't give up on her. The fix may be cheap & she may have a lot of good miles left in her. The last time mine ran like that I found the plugs worn to about .065. I cleaned & regapped them & it ran great.

93 AWD with 160,000 now hangs up when put into PARK.

Just purchased a 97 with 90,000

I put 50,000 of the 160,000 on the 93 with zero problems and it still runs great but I cannot put it into PARK.

My '94 Astro has 320K on it- just put in another engine last week that has 117k from a '95 safari- so my clock resets- ..

1985 Chevy Astro Cargo van 4.3L v6 147,000m (approx) All orginal, just tune ups since 1985, used to race it allot, engine started knocking 500 miles ago, just going to keep driving it until the engine blows up, then going to put a V8 in it.

Ours is at 218,000 but it has cost me 30% of it's orginal purchase price to get there and thats me doing most of the repair.

Most Annoying Problems 1st, 5 (count em) Alternators, 2nd (2 Clogged EGR), 3rd replaced 4 door lock actuators, 4th, 2 air compressors, (last one GM bought because I bought lifetime warranty on the firs replacement), New exhaust from header back, 1 Radio Antenna (that was a lot of fun), 1 Ox Sensor.

My wife says it's kind of like me, there is a need and desire to keep it around but it sure is a pain in the ass.
