Oh, the engines themselves will run forever. My family has driven 
nothing but Chryslers for two generations (my siblings and I broke that 
trend, ha ha). I also knew a guy who went through two trannies before 
getting rid of his '91 Caravan. (With 200,000 miles on the clock!) I am 
just curious why they seem to smoke so much.
