Nothing major has gone wrong with this van in 60,000 miles except the front brakes had to be replaced. The AC also needs to be recharged.
The only complaint I have is it takes 25 dollars just to get a quarter tank with gas under 3 dollars a gallon.
Even for a big guy with a 5200 lb curb weight the 5.2 V8 will put you back in the seat at quarter throttle. The trusty ol' 318 never feels overworked or underpowered which is impressive for a vehicle with this many miles, and that has put up with plenty of abuse. I trust this van 100 percent, and I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off.
I have a 1999 Dodge wagon, V-8 1500. My husband wants me to get rid of it. He thinks its to old. too big. and eats too much. I agree with you though. I want to keep her until either I die or she does!
