Snow Surfin Safari

1991 GMC Safari SLE 3dr Ext Minivan AWD
This vehicle has 210,000 miles and
never misses a lick. All major
componants are original, no oil
consumption, use it to tow regularly,
and... it is just awesome in the snow
and on ice slick roads.

GMC 1993 Review
Mike Welsh, 12/06/2002
1993 GMC Safari SLT 3dr Ext Minivan AWD
This van has about 80% highway miles.
There have been no major problems
encountered just nuisance ones. We did
have the left-front ABS fail on a trip
and caused the normal brake system to
fail. The ABS sensor cable to the LF
wheel broke and ONLY the ABS worked.
This was really scary when you hit the
brakes and all you got was the ABS
sound and response. I asked GM … about
this and never received an answer. The
BOSE CD system had be to replaced ata
cost of $300. Talking to other Safari
owners it seems the radio/CD unit is to
close to the heating ducts.

Love my Safari

1993 GMC Safari 3dr Minivan AWD
Have driven all over the States and Canada never let me down. 450000 km so far. Rocker panels have rusted out. The back door handle has disentigrated. Spark plugs are hard to replace. But fun to drive and I'll drive it into the ground
