I was at the wrecker last week and I saw a van with a 3800 TPI badge on the front fender. I couldn't tell what kind if van it was as it was completely picked apart. I think it could have been one of those butt ugly Pontiac vans from the early 90'* called a Trans Sport?
One of these? [LORD IS THAT THING UGLY!]

Yup in 92 GM started using the 3800 in the minivans.... they used the Vin L TPI through 95 and dropped it for the 3400 in 96.... I actually have driven a few of those Transports, and they actually do drive good when they have the ride and handling package... I liked the 94-96'* the best ![Wink](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
