#1027 of 1889 Re: door handle Viking64 by coonhound Aug 21, 2005 (9:45 am)
On my 97 the door panel mounting locations have slots that slip down over the pop out mounting plugs. The plugs are the one time use type, if you pull or pry them out. I think it is neat that GM slotted the door panel mountings so that the plugs did not all require replacement. But, it is best to have two people to hold in on the panel during replacement in order to engage the panel with the plugs.   Now engagement is difficult, that is why I say buy some new plugs and you can mount them in the door panel and push them in just like most door panels mount.   Sometimes the plugs are not completely destroyed when pulled out and possibly may be re used.

Replying to: bscabl (Aug 30, 2005 6:08 am) These seats can only be folded forward to make room for luggage etc., but cannot be folded back to make it a bed per se. To fold forward, you have to pull a latch at the back of the seat near the right hinge. Replies to this message: bscabl (Aug 30, 2005 2:06 pm) tkw (Aug 31, 2005 2:14 pm) bscabl (Sep 02, 2005 7:26 am)

Replying to: tkw (Aug 30, 2005 10:32 am) the seat in my awd has only 1 lever in the back.. the lever slides the seat forward or back on a trac, it has 2 levers in the front, 1, [on the left, if sitting] slides the seat on the same trac, the right, does something else.. [folds the seat back ?] i should have mentioned, mines a custom ['sherrod'] model.. limited edition, so there are differences in the interior/exterior from the standard production astro's Replies to this message: tkw (Aug 31, 2005 2:14 pm) bscabl (Sep 02, 2005 7:26 am)

Replying to: bscabl (Aug 30, 2005 2:06 pm) Oops! Sorry I can't help you here. I haven't heard of 'sherrod' limited edition model. Having owned 2 of those vans doesn't make me an expert, I guess. Replies to this message: bscabl (Sep 02, 2005 7:26 am)
#1034 of 1889 2000 GMC Safari by tmiddleton Sep 01, 2005 (6:49 pm)
Hi, today my Safari just cut out on me while I was driving. I towed it to Pep Boys and they said that I have no fuel pressure and not enough sparks. They said I need to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, relay, air filter and get an oil change. The total cost would be $1133. That sounds crazy to me just to get it running again. They said I needed some other things too like a tune up and transmission service. Please help. I got the car in March and have been used by dealers before on other cars.

Replying to: tkw (Aug 31, 2005 2:14 pm) not your fault, i should have rememembered that.. i emailed sherrodvans.. as they still use the folding bedtype seat in their vans [according to the pictures] however they have yet to get back to me..

Replying to: tmiddleton (Sep 01, 2005 6:49 pm) I have no experience with Pep Boys but it sounded like one of those chain stores that employs high pressure sales reps. From what you've described, I won't let them touch my van with a ten foot pole. I believe the main cause for your cut-out is either no fuel or no spark but not a combination of both. If your fuel filter is not badly plugged, which can be tested without major work, it would be a faulty fuel pump. If you turn the ignition key to the on position, you should be able to hear a hum in the fuel tank area to indicate the pump is working. Knock the side of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet will sometimes get it going temporily so that you can drive it to another garage for a 2nd opinion. But if it is the culprit, you are out for some major expenses because it is located inside the fuel tank and is packaged with other components. Search this forum on discussion re: fuel pump will give you an idea about reasonable Re & Re cost in you area. You may due for a tune-up but I don't believe it is necessary to get it going for now.
