I had a 95 chevy 30 van, 1 ton extended. It had the 350 and the 4L80
also. Ran like a top, never a problem. Till I wrecked it horribly due
to other people's fault. Then I got the M35 and now I drive slower.
There's a page if you want to see the untrashed and trashed van:

So it was a life-event that got me into MV's!
