I owned a 71 1302S here in the U.K. in 1985 it was an old car by then I bought it for £75 and sold it after two years for £265 it gave me sterling service during my ownership and was a beast in the snow 👍🏻🇬🇧

I love the rough truck videos.

These are my favorite trucks of all time. The suburban of this gen was just right and is basically an enclosed 8ft bed that can also seat 7. I just picked up the escalade version and I am on my 8th one and I will continue to purchase more as time goes on.

They are good trucks, and generally quite reliable. This is not the first one my buddy has had, and probably won’t be his last. I have been thinking about possibly getting one to replace my van as a tow vehicle myself.

Drove my uncle's 86 Taurus wagon while on vacation. It was doing the shimmy dance... looked it up.Was subframe mounts fixed under recall. It had two open as well IIRC .
@BaldSpotGarage 10 күн бұрын
The subframe/k-member problem is a lot of cars, also rot in the chassis where the mounts bolt in can also be a problem on some cars. My ‘02 Buick LeSabre had that issue

I used to have one like that. 1971 with struts. I bought it for $700 with a blown engine. Rebuilt it. Is wonder if that’s my old bug

I had forgotten to mention the O-ring in the video as a possibility, but once we found all the silver and copper glitter in the oil, we decided not to pursue that as the engine has bigger problems. 👍🏻

Forbidden glitter in the oil is never a good sign..

It’s all the bike I need for cruising, except I am a little tall for it. It is a bit uncomfortable to ride any real distance.
@KenSciologist Ай бұрын
Put the choke on, press the starter holding the Throttle to Max for 3 to 4 seconds, then let go of the throttle while still cranking. Repeat until the bike starts. On a cold day I have to do this 3 or 4 times.
@BaldSpotGarage Ай бұрын
When it hasn’t been sitting in storage, and the battery is fully charged it starts on about the third revolution every time, choke on, no throttle.

What your secret in keeping that 2012 Honda accord looking brand new.
@BaldSpotGarage Ай бұрын
To start with it was my father’s car before he passed away, and was garage kept until about 4 years ago. I have tried to keep it looking nice and about once a year I do a full bumper to bumper cleaning and detail including the engine compartment. That clean and detail happened just before doing the transmission service.

This is an interesting series, I'll be following along. Why does the core support get so rusted out? I've seen rust in quarter panels and doors but it seem like only the astro van has this issue at the core support.
@BaldSpotGarage Ай бұрын
I think it’s because the body mount supports are welded to the outside and they trap water

the owners booklet calls for 2.6 qt transmission fluid for the 4cylinder automatic. The v6 calls for 3.5qt. I had to double check.. other than that nice video
@BaldSpotGarage 2 ай бұрын
I did say at the beginning that it was a 4 cylinder, but I guess I should have looked up the quantity for the V6 and stated that as well to give more complete information as the basic process would be the same either way. I will try to remember that for future videos. 👍🏻

@@BaldSpotGarage it’s no problem, I was kinda worried you put in 3.6qt that you stated in the video when it’s only 2.6qt.

The newer oem GM astro/safari batter tray 03-05 fit the 1st gen 85-94 perfectly but the hold down bolt is in the front instead of the rear. Bolts right in though and yours looks identical $159 AC delco tray.

I did find a battery tray, which I will talk about in an upcoming video. Dorman makes a reproduction for much less that I ended up buying. I’m keeping the cost down as I probably won’t get a whole more time out of this van unfortunately.

Found your video on the Astro van site and welcome from W.V/Oh/Ky tristate. You speak well and should do real well. Are you a teacher etc.? My DD 92 Astro conversion van with a great core support thankfully. 😁
@BaldSpotGarage 2 ай бұрын
No, I am not a teacher, I’m just a blue collar guy and ex military (though I do occasionally do tech sessions for a car club I am in with a classic car I own) BTW, I am in Ohio. This has been my shop van/ trailer towing vehicle for about 12 yrs. It’s been good to me, but unfortunately sits in a gravel driveway… so rust underneath it becoming an issue that is going to limit its future service life. ☹️
