Replying to: carsmart2 (Jun 28, 2006 8:30 pm) Another idea is to sell your mini quads and sony flatscreen to private buyers and then take the cash and put it towards any fees you will probably get from ending your vehicle lease early.

Replying to: gigginpig (Apr 28, 2006 11:08 am) I suggest replacing the front wheel bearings, but making sure you also replace the bearing races as well or you will be wasting your time. The problem sounds like the inner right bearing and race but I would replace all of the front inner and outer bearings and races so that you will not have to deal with this problem again in the future.

Replying to: jhorton (Mar 27, 2006 6:59 am) I believe the problem is the evaporator in your A/C system. I suggest that you have the evaporator cleaned. One method is to purchase an air purifier, plug it in your home using an extension cord and carry the purifier out to your vehicle. Turn on the purifier at the highest setting and let it operate for a few hours.   You also should have your A/C system running while this is taking place with the settings adjusted so that the air is coming out of the dash vents. I am a distributor of some of the best air purifiers america has to offer. Visit www.ecoquest.com/endurancepurification.   Another method is to disassemble the dash until you can see the evaporator and spray it with a non toxic germ killer. Is sounds like you have bacteria in your evaporator.
#504 of 548 98 chevy astro by luvmychevys Jul 02, 2006 (5:23 pm)
I have a 98 chevy astro that runs great but the blower for both the heater and the ac will only come out the defrost. The switch will turn the defrost up and down. When I first noticed a problem the blower would be stronger one minute and then I would get very little air the next. Now it only blows out the defrost. Does this sound like a vacuum line? Any help would be appreciated. Mom and kids are hot! Replies to this message: arch2 (Jul 03, 2006 5:56 am) tkrockta (Jul 24, 2006 4:47 am)

Replying to: luvmychevys (Jul 02, 2006 5:23 pm) First I would like to ask, have you had any engine work done to your vehicle lately? If so, there is a possibility that a vacuum line could be connected wrong or disconnected in the engine compartment.   The next question I would like to ask is, do you hear an air sound coming from the dash? Try doing this with the windows up, the radio off, and with the engine running so that you will continue to get enough vacuum supply while checking for this problem.   If you hear an air sound, you may have a vacuum leak. If you do not hear an air sound, then move the selecter that controls the defroster etc... If you hear an air leak after you move the selecter you probably have a bad switch.   If you still do not hear any air leaking after you try all of the above, then I would have your mechanic search for something in the dash that is in control of vacuum routing, some kind of controlling device.   One more thing, ask your mechanic to search for any disconnected vacuum lines under the dash that may have been accidently disconnected while removing the engine cover. I hope this helps! Replies to this message: tkrockta (Jul 24, 2006 4:47 am)
#506 of 548 Dash, A/C, Windows & ABS Problems by graciesdad77 Jul 03, 2006 (11:49 am)
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I'm having with my wife's '94 Astro. The digital dash, air conditioner, power windows have all gone out at the same time. The ABS light is also on and the the transmission won't seem to kick out of low gear. I have checked and changed out all of the fuses and that has not helped. I'm in the process of going through the engine trouble codes and the working my way through the the Haynes manual looking for what the problem could be, but no luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
#507 of 548 Hi there! Please bear with me as I am new. by tazzyshar51 Jul 03, 2006 (11:43 am)
I have a 1994 Chevy Lumina Van which at the moment has me baffled. All of a sudden when I went to start it up, the engine light didn't come on and then I couldn't get it to shift. It seems to be stuck in first gear. I have been reviewing the net for answers though still have none. Does anyone know if this is a serious problem and should I go to a garage or a transmission shop? Thanx in advance for any advise I receive. Sharon
#508 of 548 '96 Venture Trans Missing while driving by shadeaux Jul 08, 2006 (7:13 pm)
I have a '98 Venture that I bought just a month or so ago, and I took it on a 400 mile trip over the weekend. I noticed that the transmssion seems to be either slipping, or just not acting properly. I used Cruese control most of the trip, but even without the cruese on, the problem persisted.   Somewhere between 65 and 75 MPH the transmission would drop down a gear, rev up, then shift back up to the proper gear. The speed would not change, but you could certainly hear the engine rev up. I dont have a Tack to see the RPMs tho =[   Typically, this was just a 1-2 second event, it would drop, kick back up and then be fine, but once it actually dropped down, and reved for a couple extra seconds, then kicked back into gear.   No dummy lights ever came on, and I've checked the trans fluid, it shows full. A friend that works for Autozone (an ex-mechanic) said he could plug in the lil code reader and see if there are any codes, but ive not be able to get to him yet. He said could be some sort of Vaccum Sensor for the trans.   Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas what I can do to fix this? I was really worried that I wouldnt make it home , but its did get us home.   Thanks for any advice you may have.
