#1600 of 1892 Re: 1998 GMC Safari making whine noise sounds like coming from rear end [jmick75] by dang3 Jun 28, 2007 (11:04 am)
Replying to: jmick75 (Oct 19, 2006 5:56 am) My 2003 had a sheared retaining bolt and metal debris ruined one of the bearings inside the differential. cost was $700 to fix. I thought it was a wheel bearing, but was wrong. If you are going 45 MPH and swing the wheel left to right and back again, and hear no pitch change, it is more than likely a differential problem

#1602 of 1892 vibration nightmare by astroawd Jun 30, 2007 (10:22 pm)
91 Astro AWD EXT with 163,000. Rebuilt: frt diff, transfer case w/GM updates/upgrades, trans, new drive lines, new front end steering rods, etc. Pretty much alleviated the initial rumble vibration. Now months later have a vibe that shakes vehicle 35 to 49 mph on acceleration only - trans axle CV joint? transfer case? universal joints? It is amazing that GM mechanics cannot figure these kinds of problems out at $80 to $90 per hour. Someone out there have the same vibration experience?

#1603 of 1892 Engine misfire by shoretyus Jul 09, 2007 (6:23 pm)
I have a 98 safari AWD 167 Km's Coil plugs wires changed in April. Two weeks ago it developed and miss ( really noticeable at low idle.   Mechanic scanned codes and it showed intermitant missfire on cylinder #5. He replaced wire and plug and it ran ok for him.  Our first long trip of 1 1/2 or so it started to miss again.   It cleared up but the engine light came on.   Mechanic checked codes and it showed nothing. Reset light. It short hauled all week with no problems. The problem came again this weekend on an hour trip one. It kind of cleared up on the way home and was fine this morning.   A search of the archives suggested stuck poppet valve in injections system. Any other ideas to look for. Hard to start looking if the problem this elusive.   Thanks Replies to this message: cob (Jul 10, 2007 5:57 pm) shoretyus (Jul 10, 2007 9:39 pm)

Replying to: shoretyus (Jul 09, 2007 6:23 pm) Have you checked distributor cap for cracks or rotor issue? Most misfire issues have been coil related but you already replaced that part. Replies to this message: shoretyus (Jul 10, 2007 9:39 pm)

#1606 of 1892 Opening Dutch doors when latch will not release for window by dlralph Jul 13, 2007 (12:41 pm)
I have a 1994 GMC Safari van that the window part of the dutch doors has stopped releasing so I cannot open the back doors. I have removed the two interior side panels, but can find nothing that will let me get to the latch on the driver side which is not releasing. Any advice???

#1609 of 1892 GMC Safari/Chevy Astro: Hatch door on rear of van by mechone Jul 17, 2007 (6:33 pm)
I have a wrecked 96 GMC Safari passanger van and a 2000 GMC Safari Work van. My work van rear hatch does not have a release botton. I tried to take the botton off the dash of the 96 van but there are no wires on the 2000 van to connect it to... any ideals?   The actuator is on the hatch door and seems to work fine when I hook it to the 96 van. Where is the botton on the 2000 van? Replies to this message: lsll (Jul 24, 2007 12:23 pm)
