Dear Vanagonitered

Had a diesel for a number of years OEM California Model ( often refered
to incorrectly as a joker) with a factory 5 speed -
Trudged up hills with little to no problem - speeds on freeways were out of
the norm - often received a caution from wife to tone it down -
One proviso is change out timing belt every 60 thousand k
Mileage often exceeded 35mpg and with gowesty 15" tire pkg stable and sure
An OEM ebersparker kept us toasty warm on the coldest or dampest of nights
Diesel - all plus
Regards
