Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I noticed a smell of hot antifreeze. also it would make a lot of noise when starting up. the thermostat never showed anything overheating. oil didn't show anything on the dipstick. we change the oil every 3000 miles. the dealership that tore into it had said we did not change the oil ever by the looks of the internals. we bought this used 1999 chevy venture lt , august 2000 having 34,000 miles on it already. the previous owner bought this van in october 1998 brand new. how could a vehicle have to have a motor dropped in with only 57,000 on it and have had done everything possible to keep everything in working order. this is not our first chevy, our whole family buys chevys. just to brag we have 13, and all of them maintained well. one even having over 200,000 miles on it,1995 chevy astro. anyway, i watch the gauges very closely and never did i see anything wrong.
