    Van fuel pumps

    Leo, are you up and running? Any speculation on why your fuel pump failed? Did GM cover any of the costs?

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    A metric litre is spelled l-i-t-r-e. A U.S. one is spelled l-i-t-e-r. An imperial one is spelled l-i-t-t-e-r.

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    Oooh, now I get to lecture AMonger and anyone else who reads this. I can't understand why people play Kentucky Roulette with their fuel gauges. Even if you are certain that you have more than enough fumes to get to the next fuel stop an unforeseen traffic back-up due to an accident or...

    Congratulations Moot!

    They all went home from the hospital yesterday. Last night their A.C. croaked. It's 90 degrees here so for the next couple of days they are staying with us. I've got a 01:00 pickup so I should probably go to bed.

    That sounds scary! My daughter is a lot like me. I don't think the family can handle another one.

    Rooting a droid

    I think I once saw a 1970's porn flick that was a spoof on 1950's horror movies titled: Rooting A Droid.

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    What am I missing here? This link Witnesses said they were forced to hide video after Beach shooting - Miami Beach - MiamiHerald.com shows a shaky video shot from several floors above street level. It shows what is presumably police officers opening up on a car. My suggest is if you want to...

    Anyone tried the 19.5 tires on a van?

    I've always run 245/75R16 on my vans. My GVWR is 9600 lbs. The GAWR for the front axle is 4300 lbs. and GAWR for the rear is 6048 lbs. My Firestone Transforce HT's are rated at 3042 lbs. for a single. I have a 155" wheelbase Chevy so I can place the load without going over on either axle. I...

    Van fuel pumps

    The new GM's or at least my 2004, the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. My 1998 had the fuel filter located along the fuel line. If one were to add an external pump in-line it would be drawing fuel through the original fuel pump's fuel filter, if like Denis mentioned it is even possible...

    Thanks everyone! Mother, father and daughter are all doing fine. This is my first time being a grandparent and yes, she has more hair than me. The miracle of birth still blows me away! . .

    Below is a link to a short video shot from inside the cab of a GMC Astro. Watching this reminded me of our old E.O. friend Dieselphreak. He once posted an audio clip of a Detroit 71 series running up on a dyno. Nothing quite like the sound of a Driptroit 2 stroker! YouTube - ‪Shifting a GMC...

    Linda, an Astro is or rather was a truck. It had a huge 2 piece windshield typical of cabovers. It also had a very low dash. .

    Van fuel pumps

    That was common among the late 90's and very early 2000 era GMs. Those vans had an in-line fuel filter mounted along the frame rail. A $10 part and very easy to change. I would replace fuel filters twice a year, spring and fall. I also kept my tank above a ¼ full. I believe this practice...

    Van fuel pumps

    I don't know who they are or what kind of warranty you have that covers a fuel pump at 72k miles but you should make a huge issue of this with GM. My 2004, 6.0 has 525,000 miles on the original fuel pump. My 1998, 5.8 went about 180,000 miles on the original. When that was replaced, the...
