1995 Chevrolet G20 problems
The Chevrolet Van or Chevy Van (also known as the Chevrolet/GMC G-series vans and GMC Vandura) is a range of vans that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1964 to 1996 model years. Introduced as the successor for the rear-engine Corvair Corvan/Greenbrier, the model line also replaced the panel van configuration of the Chevrolet Suburban. The vehicle was sold both in passenger van and cargo van configurations as well as a cutaway van chassis that served as the basis for a variety of custom applications.
Produced across three generations (1964–66, 1967–70, and 1970–96), the model line was sold under a wide variety of model names under both the Chevrolet and GMC brands. The first two generations were forward control vehicles (with the engine placed between the seats); the third generation adopted a configuration placing the engine forward of the driver. The second and third generations shared powertrain commonality with the C/K pickup truck model line.
After the 1996 model year, GM retired the G-Series vans, replacing them with the GMT600-platform Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana.

Common 1995 Chevrolet G20 problems
The Chevrolet G20, produced in 1995, is known for several common problems that owners have reported. One of the most common issues is related to the intake manifold gaskets, which may leak coolant or engine oil. This problem is often caused by the gaskets' failure to maintain a proper seal, leading to coolant or oil leaks. In some cases, this issue can result in engine overheating or reduced performance.
Another common problem with the 1995 Chevrolet G20 is related to fuel system issues, particularly pump failures. This problem is more prevalent in the EFI vans than in the C/K models. Fuel pump failures can lead to various issues, including starting problems, stalling, and reduced performance.
The 1995 Chevrolet G20 also has issues with rust, particularly on the unibody frame rails. This problem can be severe, with chunks of the frame missing near the driver's side rear wheel, where a crossmember connects. Rust can lead to structural integrity issues, making the van unsafe to drive.
Additionally, the 1995 Chevrolet G20 has problems with the engine, including bad hinges, worn transmissions, and front-end wear. These issues can lead to various problems, including reduced performance, difficulty starting, and increased maintenance costs.
Finally, the 1995 Chevrolet G20 has issues with the EGR valve, which can cause knocking under low RPM acceleration. This problem is often caused by a bad or disconnected EGR valve, which can lead to engine misfires and reduced performance.
In summary, the 1995 Chevrolet G20 has several common problems, including intake manifold gasket leaks, fuel pump failures, rust, engine issues, and EGR valve problems. These issues can lead to various problems, including reduced performance, increased maintenance costs, and safety concerns.
