Re: New car :D
which 3 liter? the OHV (vin U) or the DOHC duratec? the OHV is a less fuckup engine, but they all have issues.
namely transmissions, head gaskets, EGR failures, O2 failures, lower ball joints, and Catalyst failures.
nothing uncommon for a late model ford though.

Its the DOHC duratec....what happens in the tranmissions...my 91 seemed to slip all the time...as in you would hear the car attempt to shift but it wouldnt catch in until you let off the gas
