Ford AerostarOriginally conceived as an answer to the first Chrysler minivans, the Aerostar is an old school rear-drive van that's at its best when it's harnessed for hard work. It can haul--and tow--heavier loads than the front-drive crowd, and gets the job done with a fair degree of comfort and style.
I just found out that the rear freeze plugs on my 3.0 Aerostar are leaking. How expensive of a repair is this? Also, does it require special equipment to perform? If it's not too complicated I'll try to do this myself.
It's the two freeze plugs in the back. The mechanic said the motor would have to be dropped to get at one of them. I really haven't done anything with it (other than add a gallon of coolant every week). The van has since developed some other problems. Combined they are worth more than the value of a 212K mile minivan to fix. I'm just going to drive it until it's time to trade it in or the oil pump quits, whichever comes first.
