In cold weather, he would make sure and put conditioner in the fuel, and if a power outlet was nearby, he would plug it in at night. He said to me that this problem ocurred when the engine came out, which was in '82 I believe, and the next couple of years after that. After a few years of that, it was getting up there in mileage so I decided it was time to get something a bit newer. And it's not like the Suburban's 47-foot turning radius was much of an issue in the Lone Star state. Mine was a very reliable little commuter scooter, never failed to get me where I had to go.

It was a total abandonment of any attempt to apply modern engineering. And Opel was working on their Kadett replacement, the T-Car. I toured the factory last in the summer of 1991 as a teenager, when the Buick LeSabre built there was the darling of J. .
If swapping transmission from gas to diesel, it is best to acquire the torque converter specific to your application. Like i said before, they were '86 and later.
