> Dakota, as it cranked up about 15 minutes before Bernd

> with him. We both basically decided that whatever was
> wrong it had some how fixed itself. I enjoyed having
> the conversation with Bernd. He was the only person
> from the DML willing to give up his personal time like
> that to help me with the Dakota.

> Borg Warner Select brass cap and rotor set. I was
