Works perfectly. Issues:Head gasket was leaking recently, causing check eng light and rough running, plus slow coolant loss.I used "Bar's Leaks Professional Carbon Fiber Block Seal Head Gasket & Cooling Sealant." This fixed the coolant leak and check eng light. It runs well, but there is a slight, discernible chugging while running at constant speed between 1100-1600 rpm (i.e. in top gear at 40-50 mph). Smooth while accelerating and decelerating, and while running at rpm's over 1700 (i.e. highway speeds).Other discrepancies include:- During warm weather, the ABS and Trac Off lights will illuminate simultaneously. In this condition, you will not have anti-lock brakes or traction control active. A non-issue for me, and I have driven it like this for 2+ years just fine. In cold weather, the lights don't come on at all, and both features will work. In moderate weather, they come on after 10-20 minutes of driving.- Passenger-side electric window does not work. Stays in up position.- Rear electric windows usually work, but generally not if parked with the sun shining on that side.- Most power locks work, but some are predictably non-compliant going either up or down.- Rear wiper is also notoriously lazy. It has been working lately, but occasionally goes on strike.- Front windshield wiper fluid shoots out crazy on driver's side of windshield, because I broke the plastic nozzle while scraping ice three yrs ago. I just go fast (50+ mph), then dispense wiper fluid, so it shoots onto the windshield and not onto my neighbor. Summary:On the whole, I would say the head gasket issue is the only thing you should be concerned about. The product I used gets great reviews, but there's no guarantee how long it will last. The other issues I dealt with just fine, using the van as a daily driver and great utility vehicle. Trans, steering, brakes, tires, are all performing perfectly, and the engine doesn't lack for power, so the driving experience is not bad. This is a no-reserve auction starting at $1.
