While 28 is not cold weather for most parts of the country, here in Dallas it is a cold day. Add rain and and ice and it is quite the mess. Since school was cancelled there was no need for me to drive the bus or the wife and kids to teach so we stayed home. I went out a little while ago to...

Have the A4LD auto in the 86 BII. All was fine till the the heads cracked on the 2.9 a little over a year ago. Replaced the the 2.9 with another last March and since then it drops out of overdrive when the fluid gets down to a certain level. Problem is that level is the full mark on the...
