Yeah, there wasn't much need to call it the Vulcan until Ford offered two 3.0L engines in 1996-present. It is however an extremely reliable engine. Having a chain it doesn't need to be replaced or serviced unless there is a problem. Also, it's amazing you haven't had any transmission problems. |

>Also, it's amazing you haven't had any transmission problems ( Taurus)
Yes I did. at 83000 the transmission died in the middle of the street. a $2000 repair job That is when I got the Vision as a "back-up" car Which is funny because it has cost me more to mantain! Example? The new waterpump/timing belt/labor cost me (or more truthfully my credit card) $540.00. Or about $1400 (so far) this year alone! |
