Hi...just returned from the coast with "Harold" my new to me 83 diesel....now I admit before I bought him you folks out there warned me that it would be slow going....but geeze this was a safety hazard!!!! I had my "hazardous blinkers" on because I was going so slow up mediocre grades that I literally slowed to 20 miles per hour...talk about road rage around me!!! ( I can hear all the I told you so's now...) two or three questions....is it normal to go THAT slow???? #2 will dropping one of those Rabbit engines make a big difference???? #3 About how much would that cost...and does anyone want the job???? Really I love my Bus...but now I'm chicken to go anywhere with a hill!!!! Suffering in Sutherlin Susan!!! |
