I just had some service work done on my 97 Aerostar. It included fixing a vacuum leak (hose). Replacing the MAF and installing a new thermostat. The mechanic thought it was taking to long to heat up and recommended a new thermostat. (Kind of expensive but I guess it is a bear to get to.) Anyway it still takes forever to heat up. My wife says it always has taken a long time. I don't recall, and we don't drive it very much, especially in the winter. It is mostly our Canoe Hauler now, although in the past it was an occasional snow van if we needed to haul more than our Subie would carry.
Anyway I wanted to know if others felt these vans take a long time to heat up? It also takes a while to get much heat out of the heater (not surprising). Also my rear heater is not working right now. I need to check out the rear heater fluid valve.
