It's gone, I forgot he just got a 3.5 Magnum to replace it recently. He
only had it like 9 months. As soon as they hit 12K, they are gone.
My friend had a Ford van that sludged up horribly with dino oil really
fast, I guess it had a 351 in it, can't remember. Ford ended up putting
an engine in it about two years after it was made. It got synthetic
after that, and finally rusted itself to the point driving it was like
taking a shower when it rained hard. Right after they put a for sale
sign on it, the tranny blew, and off to the junkyard it went. They got
their money out of it, it had a whole lot of miles on it.
