Re: new van
Having driven them as a cab for the last 8 years or so , thier not a bad van , the 3.8 motor holds up pretty well but you do have to watch the trannys they go at 100k & a rebuilt only lasts about 50 k . other than that cuz thier FWD they're pretty good in the snow , but make sure to keep some weight in the back cuz the rear will break loose & come around on ya . believe me i know from experiance LOL.
and you know somebodys gonna say it , A FORD !!! WTF is wrong with you ?????

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

Re: new van
A buddy of mine bought a falling star a few yrs back,nearly drove him to the looney bin with all the tranny troubles, not only that but If you thought changing plugs was bad on Astrofari's wait till you do your new van.

Re: new van
There is a reason they are pricey lol. Because they hold their value due to not being Found On Road Dead all the time.tbhager94 wrote:yes i know its a FORD but all the strofaris are either to old or to pricey for me right now ,
