Caddy speakers
When I redid my 1981 Vw Pickup (Caddy) I replaced both original speakers with new Pasasonic EAB-030 speakers. They were still in the original boxes. I'm sure they were new, just been on the shelf for years. Even with the original radio, they only lasted a short time, about one year. Both cones just ...

Monster Diesel
Anyone see the American Chopper episode where they built the diesel chopper? It was sponsered by Monster Diesel, fuel additive. If all the claims they make for this stuff are true, we should all be using it. So far, I can't find any independent testing on it. Has anyone on here used the stuff? What ...

Front suspension brace kit
Will be working on my 81 Caddy over the winter, new wheel bearings, struts and shocks. Was wondering about the front suspension brace kits. Are they worth it? Do they do any good? Anybody tried them? Thanks, Kanzan

I think anything that will divert the flow of return coolant away from the underside of the exp. tank cap would do the trick. Was afraid the baffle would fall down into the exp tank, so I did a small modification, added a plastic leg to prevent it from falling. Just a piece of an oil bottle and a po...

Coolant Loss
Been loosing small amounts of collant ever since I put my rebuilt 81 Caddy diesel back on the road. Had one small leak on the head that went away with the 1000 mile retorque. Did the 2 minute test for engine pressure in the expansion tank, and found nothing. Have new radiator, heater core, water pum...

I Fixed It, I Fixed It

Went back and reread everything I could find on the subject on several VW Forums. Lots of people said to check the rear IP mounting bolt, but only Fatmobile said &...

Steering column repair
Finally got my wife to ride in my 81 Caddy diesel, wouldn't you know, a new intense rattle developed on the way home. Found I could calm it down by pushing up or pulling down on the steering wheel. At home, further examination found a small white plastic ring laying on top of the first U joint on th...
