On a 1993 Astro Van the only really frequent problem area's you have to worry about are;
Upper Ball Joints
Lower Ball Joints
Pitman Arm
Idler Arm
Wheel Bearings
EGR Valve
Fuel ("Spider") Injectors
Fuel Pump
Multi-funciton switch
Other than those and about a dozen more frequent problem areas, yeah, its the best-built vehicle on the planet

Yes I had one that had never ending electrical problems, but I wouldn't thrash all Astro's because of this...hard to say what the van was put through before I got it.
And I guess if the astro attracts people like hellonwheels41....... that would be a definite turn off......

Wow, what was that all about.....I would get the tbi eng (VIN code "Z"). It has a little less power than the vortec, but is not full of fuel problems.

i own a repair shop,ad the only problem i get them in for is vibration caused by the engine,i have had a lot of those lately,the only thing i have really seen them give problems with that was major though and that was caused by the harmonic balancer spinning on the outer edge of it,really that and water pumps has been about it,i hope this help,s.good luck with it.
