When temperature was about 50 this past Sunday I greased the ball joints on my front suspension. The steering got a little stiff. Now with temp down in the...
After a long and storied time with getting my front-end realigned, I have ultimately ended up with two extra 12" rims. I'm going to keep one, with a new tire...

I paid $75 for the fuse repair(standard repair fee no matter what is wrong with it) and $25 for the upgrade. If you send it to the shop, I recommend you go...
This is a 99% chance as to what has happened. See my previous post to Marrs. You can usually smell the charger near the AC input and it will have a distinct...

The Delta Q is not able to be a direct replacement for the Zivan. There would be plenty of wiring to install/change before you would be able to. I don't know...
The only reoccurring issue is the problem with the fuse in the Zivan charger. Once that is corrected, it is a very reliable charger. Lew George Be kind to the...
