How do you replace the alternator on a 2000 Chevy Express?
on a 2000 v6 Astro you need to disconnect negative side to battery, remove the air filter housing by loosening the ring clamps to the throttle body, snap off cover, lift out air filter, pull entire unit up off pegs, then remove upper half of fan shroud, theres 7 bolts holding it and they're 10mm. Move top hose out of way before pulling up, it has a couple rubber things holding it it needsto clear. Then put the end of a socket extenion without a socket on it into the square hole below idler where belt is at your extreme left when facing engine, attach a ratchet to it and a bar for leverage and pull and belt will come off. Same thing when you put it back on. Change it if its been on a year or two. There are two bolts at bottom of alternator 13mm i think, and one on backside you'll have to remove the doghouse to get to. A couple of electrical connections back there also.
How much does it cost to repair a blown head gasket in a 1996 jeep Cherokee?
I was just googling this myself. I was quoted 1500-2000 dollars for a blown head gasket repair on a 2002 Pontiac Montana. I believe the pricing is similar to most vehicles- depending on whether or not you have 1 or 2 head gaskets (and most vans, SUV's and trucks have 2). The reason I was told its so costly? Because they have to take the entire engine apart to perform the repair. The part itself is cheap, the the labor is intensive. The mechanic said he has to replace both head gaskets, because if one goes, its best to do both as the other is likely to go next. I think this price sounded very expensive. Another mechanic said he would do it for $750 on the side (but it would take him 2-3 weeks to finish it in small intervals). I may see what the junk yard will give me for it, its not worth much. Also considering taking it to the community college to see if they can fix it cheaper. A friend of ours in back in school for that program, and he said they take non-student cars occasionally if there is time. He agreed that the mechanic was correct with the explaination, and also thought it was a little high priced.
Where is the fuel pump 0n a 2002 chev express?
Look under the vehicle - follow the fuel line from tank - remove clamps and mounting to replace
How do you replace fuel pump on Chevy 2000 Express conversion van?
The fuel pump is in the gas tank. It is not easy , first before you do it make sure that is the problem.Get a auto manual if your not up to it take it to a good repair shop and be ready to pay $600.00 to $700.00 to have it done.
on those vans the conections usually go bad before the pump,check the wires under the van by the front of gas tank.this happend to me.
The best way to tell if it's working, is to listen for a sort "whine" for about 5-10 seconds when first turning the key to the on position without trying to start the engine. The noise you hear is from the fuel pump in the gas tank.
Having driven several of these vans over several years, 99% of the time, the failure will be the pump itself.
As far as replacement, if it's a cargo van and you're not too concerned about the floor in the van, I measured and cut a hole with a hole saw over the gas tank (carefully) where the fuel pump is located. Then I could pull the pump. No dropping of the gas tank, but you will have to cover the hole and seal it so that no exhaust fumes can leak into the van. I used a thick piece of metal, gasket material and sealer with screws for the next time I might have to do this. You also have to be careful you don't puncture the top of gas tank and a spark from drilling into it could be a "Ka Boom"!
They were a common failure problem.
Honda Sedans have a plate over the fuel pump in the gas tank in the trunk. Makes for easy replacement. Their pumps aren't cheap though. About $175

1990 Bonneville won't start when cold but runs fine when hot plug in block heater or heated garage?
There are a couple possibilities:
Start with a fuel line de-icer in case you have a little water in the fuel and it's freezing. Water builds up from condensation, much the same as water builds up around your glass when it's hot in the summer. Gasoline manufacturers do NOT put water in your fuel, no matter what your "expert" friends say.
If that doesn't help, try a tune-up. Plugs & wires can sometimes help by giving a hotter spark. Starting cold is difficult on your engine and you need to make sure it has all the help you can give it.
Last, if nothing else helps, check the compression. If compression is low the engine will be difficult to start and nearly impossible when it's cold.

How do you change the drivers side door handle on a 1998 Dodge Avenger?
== == Go to the Allpar.com site and search for an article by Rodger Koppa on how to do this nasty little job. Did it on both my doors, be prepared to cuss a bit. After you install the new handles you can forestall future breakage by just popping the lkatch with the handle, and then using the edge of the door to swing the door open. Those dinky plastic handles just can't take the side torque with those heavy doors! I used the directions provide by Rodger Koppa to repl;ace my passenger side door handle and it works great. Like he says though be prepared to cuss a little bit and just hope you don't drop anything into the door. Good Luck!!
Can you re-torque intake manifold bolts to stop a leak?
I did just that today on my son's 2000 Saturn SL1. It had a slight miss at idle speeds. After re-torqe the miss seems to be gone. I think he had a slight vacuum leak. Understand, I am no master mechanic. To have a new intake gasket installed by a mechanic would have run around $500. I figured that I had nothing to loose by trying. It seems to have helped and maybe solved the problem. I'm also going to run some fuel cleaner through the system. I'm sure that some dirt seeped past the leak. Make sure you don't tighten the nut so tight that it brakes.

Where is the horn relay located on a 2000 Chevy Express van?
They hid it. Facing the vehicle it is located below and to the right of the master cylinder above the computer almost inside if the left fender. Should say Delco Fuse Center on it.
There trucks are notorious for steering column wiring problems. The issue is that the horn and air bag share the same wire passage. Got to be very careful.

How do you open a 1999 Chevy Express van with no keys?
My helper locked the keys in my 2003 Express: I called AAA and they sent a locksmith. He used several plastic wedges along the top of the drivers door, creating a gap of about 2 inches between the door frame and the truck body. Using a stiff wire with a hook on the end, he caught the sliding lock button, and pulled...open in 2 min. max.
BTW: the door sprung back into shape on its own, and the paint wasn't even scratched!
