Welcome to the forum, lot of good people here with answers.
Enjoy your astro

Welcome.
I have a Gen 1 so can't help much with an 05 but welcome anyway

I am a fellow NYer

Welcome.
Yes, it is hard to find a better ride than an Astro. Had mine for about 6 years now and plan to keep it.

Again Welcome

That is awesome to hear, take good care of that van it has worked hard. Glad it went to someone who will care for it.
Some pictures would be nice too.

What oil was used in that van?

Very nice van

Just a new fuel filter today. Not much to do.

Happy New Year to all

Very nice van, you should be proud.

very nice indeed, thanks for posting these amazing cars.

I have been around here for quite a while & I read the forum almost daily. I do not post often as my van has not given me a second of trouble but I still post some. Retired a few years back & I am enjoying life.

Might check for a vacuum leak, sounds like one.

I go to a few sites on a daily routine & as a rule, they all seem to have slowed a bit. I attribute that to the economy partly, people just don't have the money to do things beyond what must be done. Yes, I do think FB & others are part of the equation. Well I am off, got important things to...

Merry Christmas to all & Peace

Very nice van & welcome to the forum

Same to you and yours, have a very happy & merry Christmas & to all on the forum. Peace
