I had 2 Aerostars... first an '89 and then a '91. They're on actual frames rather than unibody. I ran mine hard towing boats and other trailers across country and over the mountains... drove them both to 200K+ miles and sold them. Unfortunately, I'm in northern MN and the bodies rotted off of both of them. The '89 had the 3.0 and was the best vehicle I've ever owned... literally did NOTHING but change oil, belts, and tires! The '91 had the 4.0 and had a few problems but was still a good rig. My '91 had the 2nd row captains seats. Neither of mine ever looked as good as yours. Your van is beautiful!!

Dana Danarosana thank you, the only problem with this one. Is that it has a power steering leak. It is not a major leak, but I need to fix it before it gets worst. My dad has also a 1990 Aerostar extended XL trim, with about 360,000 miles. He has owned it for the past 12 years

@@Ricky714SA I had power steering issues with the '91 also. And the pumps are hard to find. I know it looks like it's interchangeable with the power steering pump from a Ford Ranger 4.0... and it fits... but it's designed to rotate in the opposite direction! Even with the correct pump, mine still kept blowing lines up here in the cold winters. Ultimately, I solved it by finding metallic brake lines that fit. I wish I could tell you which ones but it was 13 years ago (and I can't remember parts of yesterday).

As far as I see on my 1987 XL Aerostar the rear frame from the front of the drivers doors back is part of the unibody. The front section which cradles the engine there's a separate frame bolted to the unibody. My front frame section was removed and a Jeep Dana 30 put in its place with a Borg Warner 1350 transfer case making our van a 4 by 4. I bet it's it it is the only one left in the world. Ours has been in storage for 16 years due to the bad a4ld automatic transmission. It is for sale on Craigslist but I would like to fix it up and drive it again as it was very fun being so short

This is a beautiful van. A couple of months back I bought a 95 Dodge caravan with only 83000 original miles on it and it was in really great shape I also bought it from the original owner unfortunately one day when I was driving the brakes went out. I didn't crash but all of the brake system went to shit after
@randallpickens5690

My first car was a 20 year old 1965 Ford Galaxiee 500 LTD. A friend bought it for me for $325 at a car auction. I had that car for about seven months and had been having to pump the brakes to stop, but didn’t have the money to fix them and figured, incorrectly, that they were working still, until one day on a country road, going about 55 mph, I approached a curve marked 35. I pumped the brakes to slow and nothing happened. I kept trying but nothing was happening, as I got closer to the bend I finally stomped on them to slow down and the brakes locked up and since the road was wet from a fresh rain, I didn’t make the curve and dropped into a three foot deep ditch and crashed into the side of a driveway that came out at the apex of the curve, a large chunk of dirt went flying as I came to an abrupt stop, resulting in the driver’s side wheel broke at the top ball joint and the tire lying flat on the ground. The crash only pushed the front in until the radiator touched the fan, but it would have cost $800 to fix and I was only making $5 an hour. I ended up selling it. I loved that black car with the white vinyl top and moon rims. People would compliment the car almost anywhere I went. I learned my lesson about maintaining a vehicle the hard way.

I love the way you do videos. I just bought a '93 Eddie Bauer Edition, at least that's what the VIN says but it doesn't have any of the Eddie Bauer trim. It's just the extended van with all wheel drive and a 4.0 L engine. I love Mexicans. I grew up in the Bay Area and most of my friends were Mexicans. I think it's the macho culture but Mexicans are so good at body and paint that it's almost like it's in their blood. I'm hoping to get some advice from you on Aerostars. When you think about the statistics the Aerostar doesn't make much sense. The largest engine is 4.0L. The van weighs over 6000 lbs. but the combination actually works. I have a Suzuki Sidekick for around town but I needed a car for the highway and to me the Aerostar is a really valuable classic. I'm hoping to add all of the Eddie Bauer trim from junkyards.

There's has over 320,000 km on there's and mine has 167,000 km on it. I have owned a lot of autos but ain't eager to part with this van, it's just too versatile from hauling my 220 gallon water tank to the fill station on the trailer to hauling plywood, lumber or going on ski trips with skis up on the roof rack. I would have to say if the transmission went out of it tomorrow I'd get it repaired rather than ditch this for someone else's lemon.

Do you still have it? It looked great! We have a 1994 Ford Aerostar XL van with the 3.0 Liter engine, which is more powerful than the 2.3 Liter engines they had in earlier Aerostars. We have owned ours since 1998. I still drive it while at our summer home. Our kids grew up traveling in it in the summers and now my granddaughter rides in it. I love that the rear seats pull out easily and I can haul various items in it. Since I have owned it, it sits for the school year and is only driven in the summers. In about 1999 we had some troubles with it stopping after stomping on the gas. After stopping at about five Ford dealerships and having different electrical components replaced, with the issue happening again, we took it to an alley mechanic at someone’s recommendation and he shortly diagnosed it at the fuel pump seizing. After the fuel pump replacement, it ran great for many years, until at someone’s recommendation I had the transmission filter and fluid replaced. Not long after, the transmission went out and we had to put about $2000 into the repair. That was about 12 years ago and the Aerostar keeps cruising. After the fuel pump issue, someone recommended putting SeaFoam in the gas tank. I regularly put a can in when I do the last fill up before parking the van for the school year. I also change the oil at that time. I disconnect the battery and nearly every summer after reconnecting the van starts right up after setting for ten months. During the COVID-19 pandemic it sat for 22 months without being operated and still started up fine. It now has over 230,000 miles. I love my little green Aerostar.
