I was told by someone on the list that it was not a good one. But it was too late for me since I had done it. Well, It's been nearly 3 years and 20k+ miles added and there is no probelms so far. It costed me about $200 though. What are the brands available? Reinz is German made. David Kao 83 westy 84 vanagon |
