I talked with my brother some more and it seems that my earlier post was not entirely correct. The Van starts and idles fine but it takes more than three minutes to come up to temp and before that it is so boggy that is is almost undriveable. He says it also will not warm up very well unless under load!! Do you think this is a 20W-50 oil problem or a compression problem!!! Also my brother would like to know how to get the speaker grills off. So, he can check out possibilities in replacing the speakers! Joel |
