to work on, compared to the Safari AWD small van I got recently.  Of
course, I've been working on the Vanagon now for a few years so I know how
to do a lot of the stuff effectively and I am a rookie when it comes to the
GM vans.  Seems like everything I need to mess with in this Safari is
buried under a couple of three other things...most of which are for the
optional equipment that this van has...Power goldarned everything!   But it
seems to work pretty well overall...
   Pushing the front drivetrain and the viscus coupling and toting around
substantial GVW is giving me significantly less gas mileage than my inline
4 powered 5sp Vanagon, but then it's probably similar to what I might see
with a Syncro..somewhere around 16-17mpg I am guessing, so far.
