Chevrolet Express is a commercial vehicle produced by the General Motors Corporation since 1996. It is produced in cargo and passenger versions, and it is the comfortable Van that is in demand on the market. This is explained by a high level of reliability, a solid reserve of power, high controllability, as for a minibus, and good cross-country ability (in all-wheel drive versions). Although you still won’t be able to go off-road on the Chevrolet Express. Primarily due to the low ground clearance, the ground clearance at the lowest point is about 18.8 cm.
As for the rear-wheel drive version, it consumes less gasoline, and the chassis runs longer in it. All because the chassis does not experience the increased load provided by the front axle, transfer case, etc. The disadvantages include the high fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Express – from 14 to 20 liters of gasoline per 100 km of travel.
Chevrolet Express engine
L35
The Vortec 4300 gasoline engine was used for the first generation Express. The gasoline V-shaped six-cylinder engine develops 197 horsepower. The torque of the power unit is 353 N·m.
The reliability of the internal combustion engine with the L35 index has been proven in practice. In order to extend the life of the fuel system of this unit, you should fill in high-quality
AI-92 gasoline. As a preventive measure, we recommend adding FuelEXx Gasoline additive to the fuel tank. It will increase the octane index by 3–5 units, ensure complete fuel
combustion, which will protect the injectors, combustion chamber, catalyst from soot. In addition, the combustion catalyst will save up to 10–15% of fuel.
The resource of the engine with proper maintenance reaches 400–500 thousand. km To increase the ego, use the RVS Master Engine Ga6 additive. It is optimally suitable for this
Chevrolet Express engine, since the cylinder block is made of cast iron. And additive particles are able to build up a metal-ceramic layer on cast iron surfaces, which eliminates wear and
increases compression. Thanks to the restoration of the nominal dimensions of the parts, the consumption of gasoline and oil is reduced.
In addition, Chevrolet Express owners with a Vortec 4300 engine are advised to clean the injector and fuel system annually, inspect and, if necessary, wash the radiator. After all, ego pollution
is fraught with engine overheating.
L30
The 5.0-liter gasoline engine produces 220 horsepower, and its torque reaches 393 N·m. The V-shaped eight is quite reliable and works smoothly in domestic conditions. The main thing is to observe
the service regulations. If you purchase a used Chevrolet Express with a 5-liter gasoline engine, we recommend preventively flushing the oil system with RVS Master Motor Flush
MF5. It will remove soot from the cylinder walls, de-coke the rings, and make the rubber seals elastic.
L31
One of the popular Chevrolet eight-cylinder engines is the eight-cylinder Vortec 5700. Its power is 255 horsepower, and the torque reaches 447 N·m. Chevrolet
Express consumption with a 5.7-liter engine is 16 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. Among the features of the L31 are a cast-iron cylinder head, a special injection system
– mono injection, and a plastic intake manifold gasket. The main causes of engine breakdowns include overheating and oil starvation. Sometimes the owners themselves, who do not properly maintain
the car, use low-grade oil, are to blame. Despite this, the resource of the Vortec 5700 is still amazing – from 300 to 500 thousand. km
