Since most of us are here to save money and enjoy (don't mind) working on our vans, having a ready wealth of diagnostic ideas and how-to's available is a must. I've found this site worthy for ideas.

Went for a longer drive today, the miss started again with a P0300 so have more work to do. At least it isn't making a mess all over my concrete driveway.

I took the bate and proceeded with the repair. Since I'v not working and presently don't need to have the van running, I did the repair in "puttering" mode. The actual work wasn't that hard. Cleanup took probably as much time as tear down/re-install. Before I started the process the van ha...

Some years back I believe it was SoCal V8 tried rear disc brakes. His results were unsatisfactory as he couldn't get the front and rear to properly equalize and work as a team.

Please note that 2003 thru 2005 did have rear disc brakes. They also had 16" wheels.

My 2002 Safari is doing the same thing. It appears to be an intake manifold gasket issue. I put a radiator pressure tester on it, pumped to 15 lb, in a couple minutes it dropped to 14 lb. Looked under the van and saw nothing. Pumped back to 15 lb and started to see a couple drips. I put the van on r...

I have a 2002 Safari that's leaking cooling fluid. Thanks for this post. This is an older link; however, replacing the intake gasket will happen.

I probably will not bite. I do keep continuous records of fuel/service usage via a spreadsheet. I just finished a 6 week driving stint from Sacramento to LA which gives 400 miles each way plus driving in the area. I put on over 6000 miles in that period. Gas ate me alive. I planned some $350 per wee...

Has anyone tried one? For $69 seems to be a reasonable cost. They say nothing about needing higher octane fuel so I would expect 87 would be fine.

The company is in southern LA area, Irvine, CA.

I moved from Washington State with a stock 2002 Safari US emissions with no problems. Not cheep living in California.

Check you separator plate. I would expect you will find some wear where the balls hit the separator plate. I had the P1870 on a 97 Astro. I replaced the separator plate and did a shift correction kit. After doing the job myself and seeing the success when finished I would do it again. Were I to have...

Has anyone ever seen this conversion book?

I would wonder at the conversion price he's stating.

Shelby Sports Cars is now into the act:

1k HP and 2.5 0 - 60 makes other powered vehicles look rather sick.

For many of us, EV's look our of our price range. But then again so did my Safari a few years ago.
