I hope to roll up on Thursday late afternoon after work if I can get Friday off. Most likely will not make the Caddy shack but if anyone else is running late I can meet for dinner.

I do not disagree with anything said previously except:  Why change???   I think that generators generally get a bad rap and are blamed for bad wiring, bad grounds, bad voltage regulator and bad battery.  The factory installed generator is adequate for all normal electrical needs.  (Normal does not include four extra high intensity headlights capa…[Read more]

Generator is rebuildable; usually just needs brushes. But to do it I think you have to take it out anyway and that’s most of the work.

Advantages of the generator: There is a reason you don’t see generators on new cars, man. Alternators give a better charge at lower rpm, tend to run longer, and they’re lighter (though I don’t know what the VW a…[Read more]

A panhard rod is a strut or brace you mount to the frame on one side of the car and to the rear on the opposite side. This keeps he body centered over the axle preventing side to side stress on he suspension.

ATTENTION, Carlisle…..Court Yard Marriott Hotel Reservations.  You have just 1 more day….The room block has been extended until Friday the 21st . You will need to call  ” Charity Shreffler”  direct  at   717 458 – 0531

At the very least, install a panhard rod to prevent the springs from breaking.
