~~~Good~~~

The new car is running great! I had her up to 95 and she still had some left, but I ran out of road.

Oil pressure pegs at 3 when cold, but drops down after warming up. I gather from posts this is normal due to 20w 50 oil?

Trans shifts seem normal. Light acceleration=around 2000 rpm, heavy acceleration closer to 4k rpm. I can control 4th gear shift with throttle. Just let up a little and it slips right in. I like having that control.

Kickdown switch works well from 4th to 3rd gear if I need it for passing.

~~~Bad~~~(more of a list for my own use)

1. I hear a high pitched whine or squeal occasionaly that can be alleviated by turning wheel. That is, it only occurs when going straight. Any thoughts?

2. I have some acc issues----don't know when I'm gonna have the time for those. I NEED AC for summer though.

3. Low Fuel Light came on...I filled up...Only took 11 gallons...I've since gone almost 300 miles...Low fuel light about to go back on..

4. 1 out of 10 times glow plug light will not illuminate...when it does not illuminate it's a little rough starting.

and the I like it...
