Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED OILCHANGE EVERY 3K MILES, TRANSMISSION SERVICED EVERY 30,000 MILES. THE RACK&PINION WENT OUT IN OCTOBER 2003. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND NOW THE ENGINE. VAN WAS RUNNING HOT, WE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, WATER PUMP, OXYGEN SENSOR, MAIN RADIATOR HOSE AND FLUSHED RADIATOR, AND PURCHASED A NEW RADIATOR CAP. IT IS STILL RUNNING HOT. IT HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, AND A WARPED HEAD, NO TELLING WHAT THIS WILL COST.
