  • In this video, I tackle a few projects that needed to be tackled for a long while. I fix the sliding door that keeps falling off, I add a gasket and stronger hardware tot he access panel to the fuel pump and I replace all the door locks with faulty locks by accident.
    All this is done on my Stealth Camper Astro Van
    There is still much that needs to be done, so stay tuned!
    If you enjoyed this video layout, be sure to let me know!!
    Thank you for taking the time to watch, have a great day!

      Hi, can you tell me how you removed the cover for the door's rear track? Thanks.

    Hey! I actually just bought my 94 Astro van and I watch your videos so I can learn how to fix it

      Heck yeah! I’ll have a video on how to replace all the brakes tomorrow.

    Just a suggestion: The bearings in the rollers need lubrication, not the track. If you lubricate the track and not the roller bearings, the rollers can slide resulting in flat spots on the rollers. The lubrication needs to be put in the bearings. The track does not need lubrication, just cleaning.

    Good videos - On the sliding door there is a catch at the rear of the bottom track. It holds the door open until you give it a firm tug. I believe mine is broken. I watched hoping to find out what a part is called. Thanks Oh yeah, 2003 astro

    LKQ Pick-A-Part you should Google LKQ Pick-A-Part near me and then go to the junkyard pick your part and you will have the best Astro van parts you've ever seen in your life

      I’ve been to LKQ a dozen times, fantastic place. I just thought buying a new roller would be a good idea, apparently not.
      Whenever I love to Texas, I’ll grab a new roller 🙏

    Hey, i have the same van and i was wondering if you could help me design a way to get ventilation by installing a vent grate behind the license plate. 🤔 i want to make the plate stick out about an inch and have screened airflow coming in and out from behind the plate.
    😎i don't want anyone to notice its there. I plan to use a USB computer fan on the inside of that door.
    I have a couple ideas i need to draw, but i don't mind picking your brain for ideas.😁😊

    Please keep posting on this van! Me and my Bf are doing the same to our Astro. We also need to replace the door slider. Could you please link the one you got, and has it worked well since you installed it?

    • @AutoMotivate
      @AutoMotivate  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The door slider I got actually doesn’t fit perfectly and the way I “modified” it makes the door sag a bit at the rear.
      That is due to the backwards orientation of the mount.
      I would actually pull one off a wrecked van next time.

      @AutoMotivate  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I imagine the handle isn't actuating properly. Try lubricating the moving components, then if you can, start taking apart the door panel

      I bought mine, its a new aftermarket one, off of eBay, however, I had to do some slight modifying with washers as spacer to allow the door to shut properly. I recommend buying a lightly used example off eBay or pick one from a junk yard.
