Subject:      Got a new 81 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Greetings. Just brought home my new 81 Westy
yesterday.  It is in great shape, lots of new stuff on
it.  I have been driving a 74 Westy for a couple of
years and am curious about the hi-way speed of the 81.
It really seems to struggle on the hills, even ones
that I considered to be very slight grades the van did
not take them well, quite often I had to down shift to
make it.  Is this a common Vanagon trait or should I
be looking into some things?


Thanks,
