I know this is old but I laughed when you said Windstar. Here in New York they lucky to made it to 110k before they no good but looking pretty. I drive by them sitting quite a bit,... in my not so pretty looking great running 03 Winstar that is just about to hit 275,000 mile. original motor and transmission. Lower intake gasket replaced once. Oh,... And a tree fell on it 3 years ago and couldn't give it the fate it should of had many years ago. Like this one but would never want another one or the Freestar. Nothing but horror stories. Must be cuz I do my own work. All I got.
