I have some ideas about aeromods for the vans but I will have to prove them on my Prizm before my wife lets me mess with her van. A boat tail would prevent getting at the rear latch.
Never heard of it and I also worked in a automotive shop as a mechanic in the late 80's and 90's. As far as parts salesman, I've had many lead me wrong before, and out of respect I wait for them to walk away before putting what they recommended back on the shelf. I lived in the mountains and we actually owned a Plymouth horizon and never noticed any weakness as you say in your expert opinion in the transmission. Why are you guys coming in this guys thread and saying what can happen, I read other threads about Honda's, etc etc and the discussion for the most part sticks to the topic? So why the Chrysler bashing?
