Between 1985 until 2005 Chevrolet manufactured the Astro van which became famous for its strong engineering design and its capability to serve both as a passenger vehicle and a cargo transportation system. The Chevrolet Astro utilized GMT330 platform construction and offered its drivers the option of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive since 1990 to maximize road performance. The Chevrolet Astro's engine transition started with a 4.3 L V6 that delivered 165 hp at launch up to a V6 4.3 L that provided 165 hp initially followed by 190 hp and achieved 200 hp after introducing the Vortec version in 1996. The Chevrolet Astro offered manual transmission options with a five-speed Borg-Warner T-5 manual and automatic transmission with four-speed 700R4 from 1985 to 1989. A shift occurred in 1989 when General Motors eliminated the manual transmission so customers only had the automatic 700R4 (renamed 4L60) transmission to choose from until 1994. The Chevrolet Astro benefits from its 111-inch wheelbase which enhances both stability during driving and handling ability. The 1990 Chevrolet Astro received two new features that improved its part functionality - an analog dashboard combined with a hydroboost braking system. Several aesthetic updates altered the Chevrolet Astro throughout its lifetime and in 1995 the vehicle received a particularly radical change represented by a longer front section and the installation of passenger-side airbags in 1996 among other changes. The production of genuine Chevrolet Astro replacement parts remained accessible during every stage of production to let owners preserve their vehicles with parts which fulfilled original specifications and quality requirements.
Chevrolet Astro issues group into engine fuel delivery, body electrical, and transmission hydraulics. In the engine bay, the Astro may stall or fail to start. A weak fuel pump or a clogged filter drops pressure and flow. Confirm with a pressure gauge and voltage checks at the pump connector. Change the fuel pump, change filter and clean grounds. The Astro's body electrical system may have loss of window movement after a heat soak. The window might move slowly, halt midway way and regain ground after cooling. Ensure switch, check power and ground, and examine connectors to check the adjustment of the connectors to heat. Install a new window regulator motor to restore consistent operation. In the transmission, some Astro vans set code P1870 and shift harshly. Wear in the TCC valve body bores causes clutch control faults. Follow Chevrolet service procedures for torque specs, electrical checks, and TCC diagnostics. Repair requires a corrected valve body, then relearn adaptives and service fluid. After repairs, review data and verify smooth shifts on the Astro. Finish with a leak check so the Astro leaves without recurring warnings. These steps keep the Chevrolet drivetrain responsive and the Chevrolet cabin systems reliable.
