    How Old Is Your Van?

    I am curious to hear who may have the oldest van running around, doing the deed? C'mon be honest. Lets hear it! I'll start by saying one of my vans is an 1987 Ford Econoline E250. She still runs great after 23 years! Sure there are some dents and dings, but I buff it out occasionally. I guess there is a downside to keeping my vans in such great working condition over the many years. Methodical oil changes and maintenance are partly to blame for the success of keeping it running so long.

    Thats funny you mention 10 cyl. I was looking at a government van with 10 cyl and duelly rear wheels. I was going to get it. I always wanted a van with duelly rear wheels but its a major pain when you gotta change one or more.

    Re: How Old Is Your Van?

    I have a 1989 Chevy G30 van with 155,000 original miles.
    and a 1994 Ford Econoline E-250 with 273,000 miles with original engine and transmission. I am ready to buy a new one but I'm just waiting for it to give me all its got. In order for a vehicle or a machine to last long just stay on top of your PMs and they will run strong for a long time.
