The race does not always go to the swiftest, but that's the way to bet,
and betting
that a van like that will keep going is stupid. If you were single and

Telcordia, AT&T, Johnson&Johnson, or any of many other outfits, you would
really be
gambling on keeping your job.

Bull! It has had frequent maintenance, major and minor parts replaced, and
the engine rebuilt once. Things seldom break without warning. The GM 350
is about as tough of an engine that has ever been built. I'll stack it up
against any foreign crap for reliability, anytime.

Did you read my post? Only TWO letdowns, in 250 k! That is not to say I
have not had to take it out of service for a few days, to fix stuff. I do
nearly all the work myself, and am well familiar with it's condition.

I'm shooting for 500 k. g
