Yeah....the mid '90s were bad for 3.8 problems.  Many Windstars were recalled, and
if not recalled, rebates (BIG ONES) were given owners who traded for newer vans.  I
know two folks who had '95 Windstars, and they had nothing but trouble.

My '91 Slorider wagon had a HG fail, but only after it was severely overheated by an
idiot (not me, for once) who tried to drive it up a long hill with a split radiator
tank, in 100 degree weather, back in '96 or so.  The dealer fixed it for me, and
since then it has been faultless.
