Replying to: cammetan (Mar 19, 2001 12:25 pm) Hello, I am new to this forum and to Chevy   I Just purchased a new 2005 3500 express extended passenger van with the 6.0 ltr and 3.73 rear end.   What style of mirrors are wobbling after adding a bug deflector as I want to add one to the van?   I am also looking for fender flares and want to know if the body on the 2005 is the same as any previous years.   Thanks,   Greg Replies to this message: stack (Aug 02, 2005 7:09 pm)

Hi, I have a2001 express 3500 cutaway with the 8.1 liter option for a motorhome. This is the best engine and ride I ever had. Get 10 mpg which in a 12,000 pound unit is fantastic. It also has incredible power. My question? Why did they stop offering this engine after 2002 in the van? Does anyone know?

#427 of 595 Hello from a new Chevy Express Owner by fornarog Jul 28, 2005 (12:20 pm)
Just bought our 2005 express 3500 extended passenger van and we are excited about it. I have a couple of questions though and would appreciate any help:   1) Is it pre-wired to hook up a brake controller? 2) Any recommendations on adding an extra transmission cooler? 3) How is it different than earlier years (body, engine, etc) - useful in looking for aftermarket accessories? 4) Any problems if I add a bug shield? 5) Anyone ever put fender flares on one and where did you find them?   Thanks!   Greg Replies to this message: miltruckman (Nov 02, 2005 10:14 am)

I was at the dealer last week and apparently they're having trouble fitting a transmission in that will handle the torque of the Isuzu.

Replying to: fornarog (Jul 28, 2005 6:20 am) I have an '03 with power heated mirrors (no turn signal) and they wobbled after about six months...and thats without a bug deflector! Good luck with yours...hope you bought the extended wty. Have had many problems with our 2003 6.0L 2500 12 passenger....the really expensive ones started happening after 36K miles
#432 of 595 99 Chevy Express Van vibration & Noise at 25+ mph by kpruski Aug 09, 2005 (11:42 am)
I have a 99 Chev Express Van and noticed that at about 25+ mph I hear a noise and experience vibrations very similar to having mud/snow tires on the vehicle. The problem is I have very quiet radial tires. This is a new noise on the van. I do not know if it is related to the transmission or something to do with the front or rear end. It definitely has nothing to do with the engine. If you coast (put it in neutral and turn off the engine), the noise and vibration is just as apparent. If you take a decent right turn curve at about 40+ mph the noise and vibration disappears. The vibration or noise does not increase or decrease under load. I do have 150,000 miles on this vehicle so everything could be suspect. Does anyone have any clues? Replies to this message: kpruski (Sep 12, 2005 5:35 am) rhozeta (Aug 15, 2006 1:52 pm)
#433 of 595 New van by garandman Aug 09, 2005 (4:55 pm)
Today we bought an Express Cargo 2500 with tilt/cruise, window glass and cloth seats. Paid $20,500 with the $1,000 rebate, pretty tought to beat. We have an older Ford Econoline and the ride and handling on this one is much better. I'm crious about what we'll get for MPG with the 4.8l V8 and 3.73 axle versus the Ford 5.8 and 3.73 rear axle.
