presently, it's snowing in upstate NY. it's officially cold. last year I used a piece of corrugated plastic to replace the screen behind the front grille to keep the blower motor from inhaling the half of a blizzard and seizing like the previous one. worked great. another piece went under the radiator because the pressed card stock disintegrated. another piece went in the engine bay around the air box snorkel at the side wall. so, if you want to do your part to clean up your neighborhood - adopt an unclaimed vote for me sign and put it to real service. this year I'm thinking of gluing window screening to the insides of the intake grilles in the D pillars because the other half of the blizzard went in there to gag the engine until it heated up enough to melt the snow and breathe properly. last year I detached the grille, slipped it into a plastic bread bag and set it in place until the snow stopped. I'm getting lazier as time grows short. hth mike |
