Signs of head gasket problems? Or is there a chance it is a less serious problem? Any remedies? Anything I should check out?
I am thinking of trading in this beast for the best deal I can get, or trying a private slae. - power windows won't work, front blower won't blow, and hihg mileage.
Thanks!

Yes it does sound like head gaskets. It sounds like you have many other problems. Are you sure it's a 3.0? 3.0 usually don't have HG problems. But with that high of miles things do go.
Good luck selling it. I would think you could sell it to guys like me who do their own work. Don't expect to get too much for it. I paid 500.00 for my 95 with HG requiring replacement. It had aprox. 176,000 on the clock and a fresh dent in the side.
