Hi everyone....let me start off by saying the amount of info on this site is truly amazing!! Thanks to everyone for being here.
I have a 2000 xlt with 222,500 miles!! It has a groaning power steering pump that works enough to keep driving it for now. One of the front ball joints is squeaking when going over speed bumps. There is also a slight rattle upon first starting it up...not sure what this is - but it does go away quickly after it warms up. Other than that it does have door opening issues that are soooo annoying....i have troubleshooted the problem to be the door latches fault. I will fix and/or replace later.
Here's my question: Would you drive this xlt from northern california to missouri?????? The trip is just over 1500 miles. It would be one way. I really need to go for family reasons and i'm trying to weigh out my options. I love my xlt and don't want to part with it but don't have the time or the means to do any of the fixes before i go. WHAT DO YOU THINK??????
As much as i don't want to move without a vehicle i also don't want to be stuck on the side of the road alone. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!!
