Very small oil leak from somewhere and it's inconsistent. The only aspect I've been able to attribute it to is at a high RPM when hauling heavy loads.

The van seems to have developed a steering problem. From my research, this is common on Ford trucks. Not only is there play in the steering, but after having the alignment done twice, it still pulls to the right.

The passenger side door does not shut all of the time.

I only paid $1500 for the van. I use it for my band for touring. Putting 8000 miles on it in 4 weeks and then having it sit for a month is pretty common. It has never stranded us. It always starts. It has plenty of power for a 6cyl, even with 6 people in it and all of our band equipment. It even handles pretty good.

I'd like to keep it up to about 200k miles and then maybe the label will buy us something fancy like a bus that someone else can maintain.
