"Awesome van, a very high mileage vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator was changed twice.

Water pump was changed once.

Ignition problems, sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. Usually doesn't start when its raining. Been to 3 different mechanics, still can't find whats wrong.

Windows either didn't crank up, or were extremely hard to crank up.

Transmission went out, when in drive it goes to 1st and 2nd gear, and then just doesn't do anything.

General comments?

Seats aren't comfortable.

The ride is suprisingly smooth for a truck.

Transmission failed because the driver was extremely hard on it (burn outs and horsing the engine from neutral to drive).

This truck has been great. It still runs, other than the transmission problem.

The 4.3L 6 cylinder is by far one of Chevrolet's best engines ever. With 276,000, it still runs like a champ.

No major engine problems has ever occurred.

I was well have a 1991 astro with 276 thousand clicks. Mine still runs good as well.
