However, you need to look at what the tires are rated for; not the load range, but, the actual pounds. They’re are going to be a weak link. Also, those vans eat rearends, in high mileage applications. I know an expeditor who has put 3 rearends under his, in ~300K miles. My buddy does all the maintenance on that vehicle and it is properly maintained. The engine and trans have had nothing but regular maintenance. 2.) Both years have the 4L80E transmission, which is the strongest transmission GM offered, short of an Allison behind a Duramax. You’ll be subject to many states’ weigh stations. You need to be compliant to your door sticker, if you plan to cross them.[/QUOTE]
