my parents had an 88 minivan with a 3.0. it was all right for power, but
that van sucked... the motor finally went at around 120,000 miles. it
started overheating and something cracked, because when you poured water in
the radiator, it came out the tailpipe... my 94 with a 3.9 runs awesome
with 92,000 miles. no problems ever.... and there are many more 3.9 out
there with tons of miles...
