GMC Savana
When my diesel van was new, from 1 to 3 yrs it had engine problems, transmission, alternator, sliding door, and few other problems, but they eventually got fixed. It is now pretty reliable except for the alternator belt has flown off 3 times. Despite the problems I've had, I love my van! It tows great! I have no problems passing any other truck type vehicles on any mountain passes. My husband agrees it out performs his 1997 4x4 dually Chevy diesel truck, except there is no 4wheel drive. I can honestly say this vehicle has enhanced my life, because of its towing abilities and the inside room it provides. I've learned to live with the cheap interior. I will buy this vehicle again, with 4wheel drive.
Great Conversion Van
I purchased a used 98 Savana conversion
van last week and I can't stop driving
it.
THe leather seats are very comfortable
and leg room is excellent.
I made my first road trip to San Diego
and cruised at 85mph and got 15 miles
per gallon.
