Runs like crap, white smoke, overheating, wondering where all your coolant goes? Rough idle, and for me a 5,000 mistake since mine went on the T/A on a drive from Vegas to Albuquerque. Didn't realize it was overheating unless I was going slow, but when going 75+ It stayed cool. Not something I would want anyone to go through.
