#1434 of 1454 Re: HELP please [spike99] by luvmyvan2 Aug 15, 2009 (6:03 pm)
Replying to: spike99 (Aug 14, 2009 6:45 pm) since the over heating of my van i have driven it and for 5 days had no probs, now it is acting up again. temp gauge goes to the red and the dummy light comes on. since i reset the oil meter hasn't told me to check the oil. i plan on calling my garage to have them look at it i also hope it is a cheap fix. i had the thermostat changed 2 years ago.   thank you for responding Replies to this message: kkollwitz (Aug 16, 2009 6:53 am)

Replying to: luvmyvan2 (Aug 15, 2009 6:03 pm) I think it could also be a blocked heater core, but this problem exceeds my modest abilities to analyze.

Replying to: atrent (Mar 22, 2005 6:16 am) It is amazing. I was told by a dealer that it was going to cost $798 (to start) to fix the same problem on my 2001 Montana. I had already cleaned the van out and was going to sell it as is until I saw you post. For $66 I bought 2 circuit board replacements and the van passed inspection w/ no ABS or Trac lights on. Thanks you save our van or probably $1500 in repairs figuring that the $800 wouldn't have fixed it and they would have kept charging us for useless repairs

Is there any other Pontiac model that has a radio that is interchangeable with a 98 Montana?
#1439 of 1454 Prepare Trans Sport with blown head gasket for winter by nthompson1 Oct 10, 2009 (4:36 am)
I was RIPPED OFF on a 1997 Pontiac Montana Trans Sport - overheated big time right away. I paid $1450, spent another $1000 on new radiator, thermostat, air filter, oil change, new antifreeze, insurance. Radiator repairman put water in, after charging me for 2 antifreeze gallons. Now, the water/antifreeze, oil are intermixed. The radiator tests to low of 20 Deg F, not enough for MI winters. I have been told to drain radiator and put new antifreeze in; also, to drain some of the engine oil(oil floats on top of water, so water should come out first). Is this the best idea? If this is done, should I start the engine in the driveway or leave well enough alone. I am willing to sell the minivan for $1800. Pleasae help!

Replying to: nthompson1 (Oct 10, 2009 4:36 am) In your subject line of your message you state "blown head gasket" ??? Is this fixed?
#1441 of 1454 1997 Pontiac Trans Sport Blown head gasket by nthompson1 Oct 10, 2009 (11:44 am)
No, it is not fixed. But for sure that is the main problem.   I dont have a mechanic I can trust so I am having it at least winterised in the driveway.   Until I can afford/want to spend more money, this is how it has to be.
#1442 of 1454 Winterizing 1997 Pontiac Montana Transport by nthompson1 Oct 13, 2009 (10:16 am)
After spending $2500 on a used Trans Sport, I finally found a mechanic that I can trust. Before spending another $1000 on a head gasket, I am going to store it in the driveway this winder(SW MI). He is coming over Sun. to drain the water/antifreeze, and fix the oil/water/antifreeze mixture. The snow will get plenty deep all around the minivan; will this hurt anything else? Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
