when we got the silvermist color it was great until everybody else bought it, cant find any thing to make it look cool Thanks for the egr link I ordered the dust vent already.
If anyone has any accesories I'd appreciate it
want to get bugshild and window visors in clear so I paint them but can't find those either
would also like to see any pictues of accesorized ventures
We had a "Dustbuster" APV for nine years and we are looking forward to similar type of service.
restriction allowing improved airflow for better power and fuel mileage.they can cost between $30 to $50 but they last the lifetime of the vehicle all you have to do is clean it out every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.
you can get them at any autoparts store, usually
check out their site at www.knfilters.com
I have a 1999 Chevy Venture van with the 3.4 liter engine. I have contacted various auto parts stores all of whom seem to carry K & N products, but none of them seem to have a listing for this vehicle. I was in hopes that you might be able to give me the correct model # or part # for the air filter that you have installed in your venture.
Perhaps I could then have them do a search with this info. Thanks for any help!
94-96-buick regal
94-96-grand prix
94-97-olds cutlass supreme
95-97- chev lumina
so if your autoparts store does not list one for venture im sure if you tell them one of these models the part # 332063 will come up .any questions contact me. also drop the 1 of the part number its not needed.
did you get it painted to match the van. Assume it secures to stand carwash etc.
Thanks for info
yes it has a cut out for the brake light.and no I did not get it painted to match my van. I am not sure if it would take the beaten in a carwash cause I don't use them I had a bad experience with a automatic carwash one ripped the antenna off my car and beat the heck out of the car with it .
Warner Brothers Edition three weeks ago. It came with traction control and the trailering package and right power door. The list price with destination was $30,770 The dealer offered $2500 off list, plus GM was nice enough to offer a $500 loyalty bonus. In our area that weekend the Cleveland Auto show was offering a bonus $ 500 off any GM vehicle. Also we took the $1500 incentive from GM, which took the price of the vehicle to $25770. It was the best deal I have received on a vehicle. We looked at the Honda's and the Chrysler Town and Country. I wasn't that impressed that much with the Honda, especially since their was a month waiting list and you paid list price. The Chrysler Town and Country was very nice, but they wouldn''t deal on them. The Venture has more features than the other two for the money. The kids love the video system, it has a very nice picture. Also the sound system is top notch. The only concern I had was the poor test crash results. I read a lot of mixed results on them in various magazines and postings here. I would suggest any one to strongly consider the Venture Van. I almost forgot I had a piece of crap trade in that they gave me another $1000 for.I couldn't have gotten that if I sold it my self.
carOrder now offering in NJ about 1% over dealer invoice, plus the option of the $1500 rebate which is close to $26150 incl tax/title.
I know I lucked out big time and special order through factory that was virtually made the next week.
Good luck
BTW, it's been a great van!
Not heard this expression before
is there any difference between exactly similarly eqipped venture LT and Montana other than two-tone paint? Specifically, in absence of sports package option, is montana's suspension better?
why do so many television programs put montana at the top of minivan list and do not list venture at all?
Apart from the sports suspension option would say that they are identical under the skin. Agree there are differences in the interior dash etc, Have just got a new Venture LT and very pleased with it. GM Divisions pitch their siblings at different market segments. The Venture is family orientated, Montana outdoor and the Pontiac up market.
Dennie4, 1 crash test does not a safe vehicle make. GM 'does not get right on it' because they do not view this as a major problem. Go check out the IIHS site statistics that show the GM injury rate is actually a bit better then the crashworthy Sienna.
Thanks for the words of wisdom, I agree with you. What I can't understand is why people are waiting months for the Honda Van and paying full price. I am not against the Honda, but when you compare it the Venture, especially the Warner Brothers Van it comes up short. For around $2000 more than the Honda I got the entertainment system, leather seats, a great stereo system with cassette and cd player, trailering package, traction control, a power door, touring suspension and touring tires. The value comes up for the Chevy all things aside.As I have said I have nothing against the Honda except to me it dosen't seem to be that great of deal
We could not spring for the WB,(Did you have the Bugs Bunny logo removed ??) but got the LT and had it over a week. It is a really superior van in every respect and even with 500 miles ave 23 mpg..according to the computer.
Instead picked up a small 9" tv with VCR from Sears @ $265.00. As I have the 8 seat version we will fold center 2nd row seat all the way foward.
The TV will sit on floor but found one of those keyboard wrist rests will raise it up enough for the back seat passengers to view. Got an adapter at Radio Shack to allow two headphones.
Cheers
my wife and I bought a chevey venture cargo van. Its a 99, and we have had it for 7 months now, and have had it in for repair on the anti skid module, 4 oil leaks, they had to replace the rack and pinion, and now i got still another oil leak (5 now!), and while i found the leak, i noticed that my front tyres were rounding on the outside edges of the tread. with futher inspection, i found that all four of my bolts that hold my sway bar in place, are loose, (one actually missing!) mabey I should have waited and got the WB package. at least it would've come with a lucky rabbits FOOT! well, we are going to take it in and try to get a new van, we love the room and the hight that we have over our old saturn. Any one know if I can TRADE UP AND PAY THE DIFFERANCE? I am tyred of this van being in the shoppe soooo much.
You can call Chevrolet customer service direct or www.chevrolet.com and create a file but have the VIN number in case it is a batch of radios.
Will report back tomorrow.
When I took the CD out it was slightly warm, again nothing that I would consider as unusual.
As for heat on the radio controls, I've noticed that too, even from the steering wheel controls. It's not been enough to alarm me, just noticeable.
The suspension on my Montana is "sport" (i.e, pretty stiff) but I ordered it that way to minimize the side to side roll that I felt was present on the "touring" suspensions of the Silo and Venture. Not to say it's any better, just what I preferred. If you too prefer a stiffer suspension, the Montana is the only one of the three that offers that option.
Overall, I love the van and would recommend any of the three.
the chevy LS ext cab until the
powered door wouldn't open and
the keyless entry remote didn't
work. The sales MANAGER
pried both of the remotes open
with a screwdriver scratching
them up and a very small spring
had even fallen out of one,(this
happened shortly after his
knowledgeable sales man had told
me that when the batteries run
down in the keyless remote-
don't attempt to change them
myself- take them to a chevy
service dept to change and pay
only $2- due to the fact many
people end up breaking them by
using screwdrivers and such
tools and they cost $65 to
replace.)
So, before I attempt to make
the same purchase at another
dealer(Needless to say I have
spared you on a lot of other
details from my almost purchase.
and I will not be returning to
that dealership) I would like
to know if anyone has
experienced the remote not
working -unlocking, locking or
opening the auto-slider door. I
really didn't want to buy a
vehicle that needed fixing before it left the dealer brand new!
We have a 2000 Venture and get 28-29 mpg on the level road. But then again, we are in a rural area and that's driving just under 60 mph.
I do notice that the mpg decreases as I near 70 mph on the interstate, so I assume that's a factor. Any input out there?
My son was intrigued with the mpg readout which can go from 17 to 99 depending on how heavy you are on the gas. Tried to use Cruise control as much as I could on highway.
Around home it is used for short trips. Nice to know that it is capable of even better mpg.
When I read all the Mazda MPV notes with a Ford 2.5 ltr trying to make 19mpg on a trip I know we made the right choice.
I am about to lease a 2000 Chevy Ventura and would like any comments from a current owner.
Thanks,
Karen
As you can see from post above yours we are delighted with the van which we have had since 3/9
It feels solid on the road, handles well and a delight to drive and be a passenger. Plenty of room especially behind the rear seats. The 2000 model seems to be the best year so far. We have the LT version 8 passenger seats.
My wife uses every day and has gotten use to the size of the van compared with the previous "dustbuster" Lumina APV. One thing we do notice is that you have to use the side and center mirrors a lot more when reversing rather than looking over your shoulder due to the head rests on the seats.
Hopefully you will not be disappointed.
Our van acted up a couple of weeks ago, by dying right after starting a few times. Shortly after that, the pass key light came on. The van drives fine and starts fine now, but the annoying light remains on. I took it to the dealer and they got it to go off, saying that is was a dirty key. They cleaned the key and sent me on my way.
Well, the very next time it was started, the light was back! Now it is on sometimes, and other times it isnt.
We love our Venture...the seats are all comfortable, excellent power and 8 passenger is the way to go..if you dont need 8, the center modular seat comes out easily..I plan on taking it out when traveling, so that the kids can move around a little and go from center row to back if needed. I needed the 8 pass for my carpool to school.
We havent experienced any other trouble at all..except that the miles are adding up way too fast...I live in the van practically, with 4 kids!
We have had it since Sept. and have 9500 miles on it already.
Thank you for the tips on the air filter, the dust guard and the manual. My hubby will eventually be doing maintenance on the van...when the warranty is up!
VENTURES ARE THE WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do we get other keys made with this feature? Does anyone know?
Dont pay more than 100 over invoice, Venture seekers
We got ours for 22,000 with everything except the rear stereo and the power door.
Has anyone had problems with the Data Information system? Compass keeps resetting They have replaced the system three times. Now the passenger window motor quick working. I am wondering if the real problem is electrical.
I parked next to an all metal apple storage shed with my Silhouette and the compass reset. To set, drive in a circle several times.
