1998 Chevy Astro Ls/awd on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for bids, I have 1998 Chevy Astro van (AWD)....I have had this for 2 years and never had any problems with this vehicle...Since I have gotten the van, I have replaced quite a few things on this van, which are normal wear/tear items, like the fuel pump,fuel filter,A/C compressor,wiper motor,oil cooler lines,rear brakes,pass. side window motor,broken window switches,etc. Just in the past few months, I have had the front rotors shaved and the front brakes replaced....The A/C blows cold and heat works....The front windows roll down just fine and the cruise control works just as well...The window rain guards were on the vehicle when I purchased it, but I have bought the bug shield,euro tail lights,new chrome rims,and even bought/installed the trailer hitch....Also you will notice on the bottom part of the front bumper (from the pics) that I also installed a few led lights to give the van a stylish look at night while driving....The led lights are activated by a On/Off switch and the switch will illuminate when you have the parking lights on....I was not a big fan of the DRL setup on the astro van, so all I did was remove the fuse from the fusebox under the dash...I will have a new fuse put in for the winning bidder....Both front windows have been tinted to match the privacy glass on the rest of the van...The van has a donut spare underneath but I'm sure by now, it is part of the vehicle...haha, so when I bought new wheels for the van, I kept one of the factory chrome plated rims to use as a full size spare and the tire that is on it is brand new and matches the tires that are on it now....Also have the 2 full size bucket seats in the basement, which I will have put back in for the winning bidder...These seats will seat 3 each.....The inspection runs out at the end of July/2014.....The only reason I am getting rid of the van is because I picked up more hours at my job and requires more driving, hence I need to downsize and look for something that will get better gas mileage and you guys know about these fuel prices...Bleh!!!
Here is the flaws of the vehicle.....The paint on the hood has cracking in it...The tires do have some tread on them but will need replaced down the road...The rear bumper cover has a couple zip ties to keep it on...The wheels will clean up somewhat pretty good, but will have some left over rust spots and pitting....The windshield has a divet hole crack, but will pass inspection...The van has the dutch doors in the back, and the flap on the pass. side is rusting out, which i have a piece of duct tape over it to prevent total corrosion....At idle, the van seems a little chuggish, but once you get moving, it rides fine....There was a po304 code that has popped up a couple times, but just haven't had the time to check it out...But overall the van drives real well and it totally driveable !! (From Previous Owner) There was some previous damage to the pass. side,near the rear, which I was never told about until, I went and picked up the vehicle and some touchups were done on the roof on the drivers side.... A deposit of $300 is due at end of auction...If you would like to pick up the van in person, then you could pay in full at time of pickup and would have to have title transferred in your name, which I have a Clean Title in hand....If you have it shipped, then the $300 would be due at end of auction, then the remaining would have to be paid in full before the shipper comes to get the vehicle....If you have any questions,feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my knowledge...Thank you for looking !!! :) |

GM: Without LG Chem, we couldn't build Bolt EV [UPDATE]
Wed, Oct 21 2015It's absolutely no surprise that General Motors has a thing for LG Corp. The Detroit automaker and the Korean parts supplier have been working in public on electric vehicles ever since it was announced that LG Chem would supply the battery cells for the Chevy Volt in 2009. LG Chem was even named GM's 2010 Supplier of the Year. But, yesterday, the connection between the two companies was strengthened with the announcement that LG Electronics would be supplying a number of components for the upcoming Chevy Bolt electric vehicle. The Bolt is expected to be able to go about 200 miles and will carry a price tag of about $30,000 (after incentives) when it arrives in 2017 or so. LG's new components can be found almost everywhere in the Bolt. They include the battery pack and the battery heater, a new motor, the power inverter module, the electric climate control system compressor, the on-board charger, high-power distribution module, the accessory power module, and power line communication module. Oh, and then there are LG Electronics' advanced display technologies like the new instrument cluster and a new infotainment cluster. LG Electronics also supplies parts for the 4G LTE OnStar system, just like it does in other new Chevys. If that all sounds like a lot of components to you, you're right. Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president of global product development, purchasing and supply chain, said that without the expanded relationship with LG, GM would not be able to bring the Bolt to market (insert old ironic quote link here). "I think GM was lacking that [electrification knowledge] in a very complete way for many years, I'll just be frank about that," Reuss said. "I also think that on an electrified basis, this requires a long-term commitment and trust that sometimes is violated on a more short-term, regular, traditional basis. I think we have found something completely different with LG and I think that has become a widely talked about and duplicated want from our purchasing and corporate standpoint with our supply base." The "this" that Reuss is talking about here is the OEM-supplier relationship, something has evolved with the LG-GM situation. Previously, the automaker-supplier relationship used to be more like a dictator telling underlings what he needed, Reuss said, and that was a bad idea. "Today's competitive landscape requires a different approach, especially in electrified vehicles," he said.
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
