I have kids that love them but, would chew them up all day with a big block! They have a place but the "HotRod" category isn't one of them.

Ya know what, i totally agree i just wanted to stick my toe in the hornets nest for a second. Nothing beats the old hot rods in the cool factor. In the end if it's got 4 wheels burns fuel and goes fast I'm gonna like it 4 cyl or 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was done...the results were middling, at best. I don't know the age of the battery, except to say that it wasn't "brand new" when I bought the car 1.5 years ago. ...more importantly, my wife drives this car and is 9 months pregnant, so I have no problem replacing the batter a little early, if it is even early, hard to tell.

That's clearly the right call. Even without the bun in oven, if the vat comes back inconsistent, swap the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapid Roger Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I feel about auto repair (on the newer cars) the same way I feel about plumbing. There are people out there making a living doing this work and can get it done faster and cheaper than I can usually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
