I'd like to throw it in the river... worse pieces of crap ever. The more computers they put in these lightbars... the more problems...

Just an update - I have since sold this rig back to Plymouth #2... for the same price I bought it for. They are (attempting to... gulp) take care of it and give it a good home. I needed the cash as a little "buffer" and knew I'd have trouble storing it (I've relocated from PA to VA since getting hired by a career department in the Hampton Roads area.)
Hopefully once I get settled in, a few years from now I'll get to post a new acquisition.
Be safe.

What engine does she have in her? Seems 9 out of 10 ALF's of that era had 6V-53 Detroits in them. Thanks.
