Having the same problems as described by 67firebirdconv Post #496 - can you tell me exactly where the vacuum line routes to? I have located the broken section laying on top of the intake manifold, however have no clue as to the connecting points.   Thanks in advance.

I purchased a new vann in aug.2002.TENDAYS after i bought it the rear brakes were making a thumping noise.I too it in and they said it eas rust, from sittin in the lot. one week later the noise was back again only worse, again I took it in. This time they said the brakes were OUT OF ROUD,,,whatever,,, two weeks later the soud was back,,much more prnounced, this time they said thebrakes were ou of round again and the would fix it like new. I SAID IT IS NEW. there was only 500 miles on it. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME NEW BRAKES. ALSO ,,,DOES ANYONE HEAR A HIGH PITCHED FREQUENCY NOISE COMMING FROM INSIDE THE DASH???

The noise is probably one of the heating and air vacuum motors with a small leak.

I just bought a 2003 Safari and am hoping for a long smooth relationship with the van.
#509 of 1889 Buy a Mazda MPV or Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town and Country by libertycat Dec 24, 2002 (10:41 am)
These vans are virtually unchanged since their 1984 intorductions. There is really no reason to buy them.
#510 of 1889 Possible reasons to buy an Astro/Safari by coonhound Dec 24, 2002 (11:35 am)
Tow a boat, Tow an RV travel trailer, tow a utility trailer, and any thing else you might think of.   Enjoy the room inside and load it up, if you have enough stuff.   Comparing the mid sized GM vans to the FWD mini vans is like comparing apples and grapefruit. Hook a 5500 pound travel trailer behind one of the mini haulers and see what happens!
#511 of 1889 I agree Coonhound.... by topsea Dec 24, 2002 (11:12 pm)
After a million miles in mini vans, I'll continue buying Astros or Safaris. I've run Dodge and Plymouths in the past and if you need a big car they fit the bill. I load my Astro with almost twice the cargo that I could with the Chrysler products. The Astros last as long if not longer than the Chrysler products. I used to put about 300,000 before retiring them but I don't go quite that long these days. My Astro's usually go to about 200,000 before retirement. By the way the last 3 have been AWDs. As they used to say about Timex, "They just keep on ticking".
#512 of 1889 re;rear heat by biggr Dec 25, 2002 (5:15 pm)
i finally got around to messin with the rear heat.i found two heater control valves on the passenger side by the a/c box.the one on top has an electrical connection and a vacuum connection.i guess once it receives the signal it opens up,which then would send the vacuum to open the second valve,which leads to the rear.what i found was i was getting the electric it wasnt sending the vacuum so i just put direct vacuum to it for now.WHAT a difference.i dont even turn on the front heat as the rear works better.
