The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

Is GMC Vandura a truck?

No, the GMC Vandura is a van.

If you have the Starcraft conversion, the van is technically considered a station wagon for insurance purposes (much cheaper).

Check that the distributor wiring is right ( 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2) Most common problem is criss-crossing the no. 5 and no. 7 plug wires

How do you change the fan belt in an 1985 GMC Vandura 2500 Van?

Asked by Wiki User

If you have only one belt, this is the serpentine belt which runs everything, fan, alternator, AC if you have it, powersteering. To remove it , locate the tensioner which should be on the right side of the engine below the washer fluid reservoir, it will have a 5/8" bolt (I think!) about 2 inches long on it, put a long handle wrench on that and pull to the left to release the tension on the belt. The tensioner has a very powerful spring in it so be careful not to slip and it will take quite a bit of force. After you have the tension released, slip the belt off of one of the components (I useually go for the alternator) and slowly move the tensioner back to its rest position, then just remove the belt and install the new one, there should be a diagram for it on the inside of the hood or on the conduit leading to the air filter.

If you have multiple belts its best to replace them all since you will have to take them all off anyways as I remember the fan belt being the one closest to the engine. For this the vairous components are the tensioners for their belts so for instance, if you are removing the alternator belt you will have to loosen the alternator and it will pivot on its mount bracket to change the tension on the belt. The fan belt is the exception as it has it's own tensioner which you will have to loosen prior to removing the belt. Just install the new belts in the reverse order you removed them.

How do you remove the dog house1991 gmc vandura 2500?

The doghouse should have two lever type clips on the side of the doghouse that you flip forward to unlock. The doghouse will also be bolted to the floor should be 4 to 6 bolts holding it to the floor. Peel the carpet back to find them if your van is carpeted.

Slide the doghouse back then and turn the seats, both passanger and drivers as well as move them as far back as you can. Pull up on the doghouse and twist and slide it out. It's a pain removing it but just keep twisting and and turning it until it comes out.

Good luck.

Why would there not be any air coming out of the front vents on a 93 GMC Vandura with the fan working?

One of the vacuum hoses is probably broken. I had the same problem on an 89 vandura. Turned-out to be that the hose was gummed and couldn't hold the vacuum. It was a hose connected to the vacuum reservoir (ball-like object attached to the hood). Good luck.

Where are the spark plugs located on GMC Vandura?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You have to take the interior engine cover off to access the spark plugs.

First take out the two screws that hold the drink holder, Take all the Philips screws that hold the leather/covering, Remove two screws/bolts in ash tray compartment, then remove two bolts at the bottom front of engine cover, lastly unlatch both sides of the cover. The best way to remove the cover is to push the bottom toward the engine and pull the top out(away from engine) and up...it's tight.

Why does a 1991 GMC Vandura G2500 randomly make a clunk noise when accelerating and jolt the van as it were braking for a split second?

Asked by Wiki User

The problem ended up being defective spark plug wires. sounds like rod bearings. It couldn't be the rod bearings, because the engine would run for a few miles and then quit. Rod bearings tend to go quickly.

How do you access the motor from inside the van of a 1993 GMC Vandura?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

REMOVE POSITIVE SIDE OF BATTERY CABLES BEFORE BEGINING>>>JUST IN CASE!Hing the ash tray lid open...take the 2 Phillips head screws out...on bottom of cover remove the 2 phillip head screws...pull cover back 4 inches to remove the lighter socket plug and power mirror plug (if so equipped). Now you can safely remove the plastic portion of the cover. Now on to the metal cover. On each side of the cloth heat cover remove the 2-3 snap covers then remove the phillip head screws. On the very bottom of the metal cover feel the carpet for raised areas...under the carpet are 2 bolts on a hinge (use 1/2 socket on 10 inch extension with 3/8 ratchet) no back to the sides of the metal cover...there ia a clasp hinge on each side...lift the rear of the clasp (furthest side away from dash) and slide back.

Put slick 50 in the oil and don't worry about it.

Painfully, the motor's got to be lifted, unbolt the motor mounts and try to keep the swearing to a dull roar.

How do you replace 1993 gmc vandura window lift motor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is probably one of the most tedious and painstaking things I have done on my 2500. First of all remove ALL the door panels, you should see an oval in the door right where a window crank handle would go, the motor is bolted to the back of this by either one nut and two bolts or one bolt and two nuts which you can barely see, you have to remove these (the painstaking part) and push the motor away from the mechansim, keep in mind that you have to secure the window before removing the motor or it will drop once the motor is removed and could cause damage to both the window and your arm!

How do you change the cruise control blinker arm on a 1985 GMC Vandura?

User Avatar

Asked by Crzyman61

on the 89 the arm has one wire for the cruise, this connects under the dash and must be disconnected and fished out of the steering column, as for the arm itself, it should just pull out of the column
