#382 of 595 Re: Is Chevy Express AWD good in Snow? [adeneve] by dkeel Mar 28, 2005 (11:19 pm)
Replying to: adeneve (Mar 03, 2003 1:05 am) From Anchorage Alaska; I have the full time AWD 2003 Chevy Express. It is great in the snow. I have some good snow tires and can drive circles around anything else on the road.      235/75-16 is the perfect size snow tire for the weight of this vehicle. Go any wider and run the risk of floating over the snow.

Replying to: streamlined22 (Jul 13, 2004 4:45 pm) I purchased a 2003 1500 series 8 passenger Express.   Due to law suits in this country, many Conversion Van companies told me no to your question. The problem is the weight. Adding another rear bench would provide 12 passengers seating for a eight passenger van. Hauling 12 people could easy exceed the weight rating for 1500 series van. Add a couple of suit case or tongue weight for a trailer and your definitely over the weight rating.   If your van is 2500 series, then call a van conversion company.

#387 of 595 truth about towing by johnnymac Apr 07, 2005 (11:56 pm)
Enjoy the forum. Good comments. I have a 2001 Savana 5.7L 3.73 axle ratio and we are looking at buying a trailer (30' GVWR 7500lbs). Previous owner of trailer pulled it with "a 3/4 ton Dodge no problem". Don't have a trailer package yet. Is the trailer too big?
#388 of 595 no power in passing gear by jimbob2093 Apr 18, 2005 (9:23 am)
I have a 99 1ton express. When the accelerator is fully depressed the trans shifts down and the rpms come up but no accelortaion. When you let up the pedal to about 1/3 down the trans shifts up and being to accelerate. It seems there are alot of smart people in here. Any help would be appreciated.
