I love the sound of that generation of starters. Especially when cold! I've also noticed at least in the c/k etc, between 1987 ish, and say 1994 / 95, the chime that they use was an octave or 2 higher than the one found here, I want to say they may have done a similar setup with the g20/30, interestingly enough, a cutaway van chassis, say 1998 or 99, some of them still retain a good old '80s buzzer somewhere in its series of warning systems.
I just saw a video of a 1992 GMC Vandura busette with the Wayne chassis and that one still used the scary buzzer instead of the flute-like tone so the base models may have still used the evil buzzer.
The '92 was a cargo box van, and it had roll up windows and manual locks and the "flute" sound. i personally, have not seen a 1992-later van with a "buzzer".
i think they did away with the buzzer about the beginning of 1992, thats when GM gave the G-Series vans a face life, new steering wheel, and updated the transmissions to electronic. my company had a 92 Chevy van with the "flute", and a 90 GMC Vandura with the buzzer. so i think it was 1992 that it became the flute sound
maxwelljrdn The GM flute tone had been around since at least 1986, my grandma's 86 Buick Regal had the flute instead of a buzzer, and my friends parents had an 87 caprice wagon that also had the flute
Did the 1992 Chevy Van have the roll-up windows or power windows and was the buzzer standard on some models of the 1992-93 Chevy Sportvan and GMC Rally or not?
How come this Chevy van has the gentle electronic warning tone instead of the scary buzzer? I thought the big Chevy vans only used the buzzer until they were redesigned in 1996.
