Great van, seems like everyone is jumping to 3rd gen ford lately. The wheels made a huge difference.
Everyone knows 150k is just broken in for an i300. Many good years still left in that motor. Enjoy!

That's because 3rd generation Fords are awesome.

You better believe it. I love my 89 FOrd, and I loved my 84 Ford before it. Actually, in a Ford, i would rather have the 300 than the slant since the Ford weighs over 1000 pounds more than the Dodge. A few years back the original 302 that was in my 89 Ford finally wore out. If I didn't already have a rebuilt 351 from my 84 Ford, I would have swapped the 302 out for a 300. Six cylinder motors are just cooler than v-8s.

I got to drive it for a bit today. Seems its got a few little issues to work out. Has a pretty severe hesitation at about 1/4 throttle. Put a couple gallons of gas in it and that seemed to help. Me thinks theres years old gas in the tank that needs ran out. Tomorrow ill throw a few more gallons in it and some seafoam and run the crap out of it on the highway. Also a slight high idle issue. Vacuum leak most likely. just got to find it.
