Total cost in Parts ~1600 $
Labor done by myself.
Those parts are normal wear and tear.
Strong reliable Engine.
Trasmission sometime shifts harsh,
Lately it slides from 1st to second when cold.
For those who complain about road-handling: Switch to BFGoodrich 235/70.
I would buy it again.
On your review of astro van it said that the cost of water pump and radiator parts was 1600. Is this a misprint? did you buy the parts new or used and from where? it is possible for a radiator to need to be flushed, but it should last for 150 or 7 years.
