Original partial post from TrinityTurret:
Question for you: Doesn't your van 'groan' while pulling above 1,500 RPM's? Ours is equipped with the transmission cooler, and engine temp stays in the middle...normal...but we get above 1,500 RPM's and the engine 'groans', or 'roars', as if we were 'flooring it'. Is this normal?

This does not seem normal to roar.  You may be pulling with a Caravan, but you may also need transmission work in the near future.
