We've had one in Betty for about a year now... no issues at all.  Also, the service experience was great.  We drove down to Gowesty from Oakland & had them install it, along with a new propane tank & some front-end stuff.

Not the cheapest job, but I figure it's good for another 100k+.  BTW, it's an automatic.  We also have the Gowesty 2.3 engine installed by Van-Cafe.
