I decided to do a tune up on my wifes van ...gotta keep it running until March ...that's when we are selling it ...

I think the only people who can work on those are about 3'4", and their hands have to be thin as a plastic bag.....I had to get my 10 year old to come out and get the serpentine belt on . The oil filter has no clearance around it to use a banded oil filter wrench and the filter that was on it wasn't a standard size, so filter sockets wouldn't work ...I had to use channel locks to get that darn thing off.


I hate that van!

 

Well aren't those Mitsubishi engines in them anyways? That would explain alot. It seems common for manufacturers to cram more and more crap under the hood. Trucks remain reasonable with underhood space for working (for now anyways).

 

well, trucks have a decent hood on them. Van's have half the engine in front of them, and the other half in your lap. Though newer vans aren't as bad as they used to bed (read Astro).

 

I'm getting her a Yukon in March. No more vans!

 

hahah smalllll hands

 

You know what they say... small hands, small.... gloves.

 

I wish that I had small hands ...I can palm a basketball. Now it sucks that I'm only 4'9" ...but that' s another story all together. lol

 

holy crap, i think you jinxed me, i went to work yesterday (lube tech) and had three of those mothers come in, talk about ****ty to work on!

 

See ...they suck ....I have to fix the power sliding doors this weekend, as well as the passenger windows ...they all get stuck a lot.
