I hauled about 800 lbs of old bus parts down from Boston a couple years ago with my '85 Vanagon. It rode nicer and the power seemed to be the same even going up hills. I did get some severe bucking on the trip home (of course you get engine problems with a ton of stuff sitting over the engine compartment). I drove it all the way back to Jersey missing and carrying on. The mpg went down to 12 :( Got home and found that the ground strap on the motor had broken (probably got hit with some ice in the snow storm we drove through) and was causing the computer to go haywire. Replaced the strap and unfouled my plugs and she ran sweet up until I sold the motor. Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16 |
