Hello All
We have a customer about an hours drive away. He called today and was not starting. My mechanic found the cap very corroded, I got him to pick up a new one locally and install which solved the problem. We had 10" plus of rain over the weekend and Labor day so I'm sure the moisture helped cause the problem.
Here is the dilemma. As memory serves me- this is the 4th cap and rotor in the last couple of years. Three months ago I made a service call for running poor and replaced the cap and rotor with the best quality the Auto Zone offered. (this is the "crab" cap). Everyone in the states knows that these are not the best quality parts- but in the area where the customer is- it is the only choice.
I am going to pick up some original Delco caps and rotors to stock our vans with, but I still feel there is more to this. Any ideas??
