        I just want to know if anybody else out there has this experiance with
their van.  In my 82 former diesel everytime the cooling fan comes on the
radio goes dead for half a second.  I'm assuming that it is caused by a
drop in voltage when the fan is first starting to move.  I'm thinking of
putting a big capacitor in the line to the radio to act as a temporary
power source during these brief power dips.  Any other ideas?
