#21 of 2457 Running Boards by krueger Jul 22, 1998 (2:06 am)
We can't find a factory who makes fiberglass running boards of the 98 Venture. Can you post a company's name and phone number here, if you know of one, please? Thank you.

Am considering a Chevy Venture for purchase today, so any quick info on Pros and Cons would be very helpful!! Also any negative experiences anyone made have had regarding reliability or repairs.

Quick Feedback!! - Go for it. Get the Touring Suspension/Load Leveling package if you can. Enjoy!

I have a 97 Venture. I've had few problems with it. It handles well in the snow. I suggest the 4 door model. The seat removal is simple but not as easy as they say. It handles well for a big vehicle. Also, the gas mileage is good.

We just bought a 98' venture but it hasn't arrived to the dealer yet. We were wondering about the tires. It comes with General tires size P215/70R15. I have a set of BF Goodrich T/A P215/65R15. If we put them on how will that effect the performance. I know they are a little wider. will they rub on the front fender when we turn a corner?

To:ron14 I would not be in a hurry to swap tires. If you ordered the Touring/Leveling suspension you will be pleased with the ride. My Trans Sport came with General's that are self sealing for punctures. You might want to find out if that's the case for your General's as well. It's a nice ride - Enjoy!

Hi! We are looking at the '98 Chevy Venture and think it's a good value. We're like the extended 4 dr model and are trying to decide on the second row captains chairs vs. the 3 modular seats in the second row ... any advice? Likes/dislikes one way or the other?

So far, everyone who has ridden in the back seat on the regular bench seats say they are comfortable and the tall ones like the extra leg room. I wish we had ordered 3 seats for the middle row so our family members could get in and out easier from both sides. (The seat is right by the door so they don't have to crawl over.) The seats are very very easy to remove. The sliding doors on either side open so easy that if I had thought more about it, I may not have ordered the power door. (That is the side that the seat is NOT close to the door.) We have 7000 miles on our extended 98 Venture. Took it to Minn., putting on about 2600 miles. We pulled a 16' boat with 40hp motor--3 of us and gear. And it did just fine. Love that front traction. Average mpg 22.3-24.   Coming back, we heard air compressor running after turning off motor. Had to pull out fuse so compressor (pump) wouldn't burn up. Took it to dealer, and they found a hole in one of the rear shocks, so installed new one. Faulty factory shock.    The "service engine soon" light went on on the way to get shock installed. (I praised God that it was on the way TO the service department!) One cylinder misfiring--I could feel it, but they cleaned the fuel injectors and everything is okay again. I still like the car--lots and lots of room and good gas mileage.

To scottbusey: We got our van last saturday and I must say it's Great. It doesn't have the Touring/leveling suspension. That along with the Theft alarm is the only options that it it doesn't have. Seems with the low intrest rates and incentives that their offering it's getting hard to find just what you want but were very happy with what we have. Sandrift w/netural int. just the color we wanted. I will check out if the tires are self sealing. I've still got the Goodrich T/A's. Kind of thought I would use them and save the General's for when I trade it off in a couple years. I'll keep you updated. Later.....Van on !!!!

TO:TWK I agree with your choices, but add the Touring/Leveling suspension if at all possible. It really makes a difference with varying loads. Enjoy!
