Thanks werench

I'll give it a try.

VF, I had a 1997 E250 van , the first year they stopped the straight 6 300ci

and went with V-6 4.6 liter engines instead. Nothing wrong with those 300 6's, can't understand why they cheapened and put such a small engine in that big supervan

I had a 1986 brand new ranger and they underpowered that as well with a 2.0 liter engine, guess I didn't learn.....

The gasket for the timing chain went, I could smell antifreeze but three trips to the mechanic to figure out where it was coming from and then fixing it must have been too late, a short while later I was on the highway and poof, motor burnt the number 1 main bearing

I had a 1986 E150 with the straight 6 and it cost me didly squat to run it for 5 years, I made money with that van, the 97 cost me so much I wrote off ford for a while. I love my chevy truck.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
