My dad had this van. He got the single wide rear door option. He hated this POS. He even knocked off one D and the E so it read "DOG". It was a never ending source of problems. Like all Dodge products.

My grandfather had the 1973 225 slant six. No major problems at 200.000 miles. Good gas mileage also. Maybe the 8 cylinders were crappy.
