I filled my '86 with the middle seat out from floor to roof with various papers several times a week for several years. Felt like billions of pounds. Finally destroyed the transmission at 135,000 miles, I guess the good part is that I never had to replace a CV. The Van is at somewhere around 210,000 miles now, still haven't replaced a CV, and is still being user to haul papers. Oh yeah, and the heads has never leaked!
