Maintenance Reminder--Tighten those battery cables...

They do loosen up, even on our über smooth Valks...

Loose cables can promote corrosion, cause rough running or power drop-off at high RPM (those ignitions SUCK the power at high rpms) and can also shorten alternator life, and even "prang" the voltage regulator if loose enough.

...that's a protip, non-partisan, cholesterol free, and has nothing to do with running darkside or rear end splines. It may, however, contain peanuts.

See you on the road!
