that would be the one!

just needed new brake pads and the voltage regulator connectors were loose. just pushed them together and headed down the trail in the wagon.

great price too!

bio diesel is not very friendly with those bosch injector pumps. They are designed to work with high sulfur diesel. at 700 a pop those injector pumps do become pricey. /THREAD THEIF
