What are common issues with a 2000 Chevy Express van?

Had some trouble with my 2000 Chevy Express recently. 2nd gen and all, known for being a workhorse, ya know? So far, the transmission’s been a kicker. It’ll act up and slow shift—especially when it gets cold. And the brakes, they start making this weird grinding noise, then a day later, it’s fine. Did you ever have a check engine light come on for no apparent reason?

I swapped out the fuel pump, still had some weird idling issues for a week or two. But the engine’s smooth generally, except when it isn’t.

Wanna hear about the electrical things? Power windows sometimes just stop—nothing wrong with the switches! Just random malfunctions. Ever experience random issues like that?

Let me know if you figured out your van’s quirks.

I’ve owned a 2000 Chevy Express van upstate New York, and oh boy, it’s a handful. Transmission tends to act up, especially in cold weather. Noticed some issues with the suspension after hauling heavy loads, a bit wobbly if granny hops in. Electrical gremlins too, like check engine light dancing more than Beyoncé at a concert. Still, beats driving an empty cardboard box for miles!

I’ve got a 2000 Chevy Express, and man, it’s been a ride! I’ve dealt with the usual transmission hiccups and some wacky electrical issues here in Ohio. I’ve heard others in Canada say their engines kick up some dust too. Brakes always seem sketchy, needing attention more than others in my circle. But, if you catch em early, they’re just old dogs. Just gotta keep on top of maintenance, y’know? Lotsa love for this workhorse despite the quirks!

In Calgary, my 2000 Chevy Express van never dies quiet, the engine noise is like a bad rock concert. Also, had issues with the A/C blowing hot air, not cool. Suspension feels like a roller coaster on bad roads. But, when my neighbor drove mine, no issues—must just be my driving. Crazy, right?

I’ve had my fair share with the 2000 Chevy Express van here in Canada. Common issues? Always been problematic with the engine overheating, and the rear axle ain’t too reliable. Plus, electrical gremlins are like, a constant annoyance. I’ve heard Torrance had the same gripes, not just us north folk!

I’ve had my fair share with a '00 Chevy Express driven in Toronto. The transmission was a nightmare; it keeled over like an old oak! Had to change the fuel pump too, pretty quick really. Engine weird noises ain’t uncommon, so always keep an ear out in Canada winters. My buddy in Seattle said the electrical system gives grief too—lighting issues mostly. Keep it in top shape will ya!

I’ve owned a 2000 Chevy Express since ‘05, been havin’ some trouble in Texas. Engine cooling issues are real, like, the thermostat’s a gamble, cap sometimes bust. Brakes also give grief, gotta listen for noises, 'cause they’ll sneak up on ya. Changed them last year, but who knows till then. Not the smoothest runnin’ van, but it’s what I got!

I’ve got a '00 Chevy Express in Toronto, right? Yeah, she’s been a beast but no joke, the transmission bites sometimes—gremlins lurking in there. I found the electrical stuff acts wonky too, lights flicker when I hit the spirits. Also, the rear axle ain’t my buddy. All in all, love this beast, but definitely her quirks!

I had a 2000 Chevy Express van outta Ohio—talk about a handful. Head gasket issues were my main headache, like H2O in the oil bay. Also, the timing belt was a drama, often snapped right before I was ready! Took it in for a recall but man, even after the fix, something was off. Trailered it easy but the engine screams like never before. Despite the troubles, it’s a solid ride once sorted. Share ur stories?

I’ve had issues with my 2000 Chevy Express here in Toronto. Always seem to be fixin’ the electrical system, especially the alternator. And oh man, the transmission is another headache. Heard chugging through the gears is pretty common. To think this thing is nearly 25 years old, still holding up for short hauls but has its quirks. Good luck!

I’ve owned a 2000 Chevy Express in Ontario for years. Common issues include the transmission acting up if you’re not gentle, especially when towing. Coolant leaks are another pain – keeping an eye on levels is key. Remember the exhaust smoke thing too, it’s annoying. The electrical system’s quirky too, but with some TLC and regular check-ups, it rides solid. Worth keeping around with a bit of garage work now and then!

I’ve owned a 2000 Chevy Express van in the states for years. Known for the funky transmission issues, which is a pain. Also, the electrical gremlins, like the power windows and wipers, keep acting up — not the smoothest driving partner, you know? Replaced the fuel pump once too; it’s like a money pit sometimes but gets you through. Anyone else had these hiccups or found a workaround? Drive safe, folks!

I’ve had my '00 Chevy Express in Toronto for 5 years now. The most annoying thing has to be the electrical gremlins—blinking lights galore! Plus, the transmission seems to dance on its toes, swapping gears smoother than a sombrero. But hey, no van’s perfect, right? Rolled through some potholes and the suspension cries more than I do when mine loses it. Anyone fix those issues?

I’ve had mine since '05, and the timing belt is always a huge deal. I had it snap at like 100K miles—no bueno for the engine. My buddy in Toronto had his axle do a number on the driveshaft. It’s like, every year something comes up. The electrical system? Hit or miss. Seems some folks have to replace the battery all the time. Plus, the heating system can be spotty. Managed to avoid it mostly, but wish we were on the first-gen model; heard they were more reliable.

I’ve had some trouble with my 2000 Chevy Express up here in Canada. The power steering’s been a nightmare on the highway, and the transmission went out at around 100k miles. Had to replace the timing chain early too. Friends say the A/C died on theirs too, real bummer. Just keep an eye on those and you might dodge a few bullets. Anyway, that’s my two cents after dealing with these headaches for years.

I’ve been dealin’ with my '00 Chevy Express out on the west coast. It’s been a handful, man. Water pump’s a mess, I’ve fought that nightmare for months. Clutch issues, too, especially when it’s cold. But folks say the roof’s leaky around the skylights. I’ve swapped out parts more than once. Funny how it’s always sumthin’ with these vans, huh? But they’re solid work cars, just need TLC.

In Phoenix, my ‘00 Chevy Express had major electrical issues. Lights and radio acting up, wires everywhere. I’ve heard the transmission is another headache, with shifting problems galore. Anyway, given it’s age, bringing some patience and duct tape to every repair can save ya’. Just gonna keep it rolling for now!

Man, I’ve had my fair share of headaches with my '00 Express van. Living in Pennsylvania, the electrical issues are a real pain—fog lights snap off all the time! And the engine’s been acting up, like blowing out spark plugs left and right. Oh, and parking brakes—super wonky, had a scare towing last winter. Anyone out there with similar experiences?
