i Drove my E250 from spokane WA to southern california. it was sweet as. I love the ecocline 3rd gens. Mine is a 6 cylinder. But with any van or vehicle for any matter got to make sure its mechanical sound for a trip of coarse. and rust is always a big one as well. don't want it to rot away over time if you are looking for a long time keeper you want to put money into for upgrades. smile

If it has a blueish tint to it, that's oil. Valve stem seals on a higher mileage (or just old) small block Chevy will do that. But it can be hard to tell a guide from a seal at the earl y stages. If it's truly white smoke, I'd be leery, as that could be coolant.
