Underside of this heavy-class cruiser is C-L-E-A-N. I had a Ford specialist come with me to verify the van's mechanical shape. The transmission behaves exactly as it's supposed to and the fluid looks great.
The only real issue it has is a bad case of stale gas; intermittent pinging under heavy acceleration and she ran really rough on her first start-up in 1 1/2 years. Once the first tank of bad gas is cleared, that issue should go away. Fuel loses its octane rating over time so this is expected; but we're in no position to dump out $60+ worth the fuel, so in goes a bottle of Sta-Bil.
It's also getting a fresh 2K14 inspection sticker.
