Re: AC and fanzilla question STANDARDIZATION

[jtrealty@xxxx]

IMHO it is best to standardize on a fix. This way it is easy to 
troubleshoot and everyone knows how it is supposed to work ( the fan 
light comes to mind). With all due respect to John where will he be in 
a few years if his device doesn't work? I like to think Mr. Zilla and 
Rob Grady will still be around! If you are playing with your car and 
money is as big an issue as John thinks then stay with the jumper 
wires, but if you are like most then although the Zillas are pricey I 
believe they are worth the money if for no other reason then their 
proven reliability and service. Don't forget some of the money goes 
toward continuing developement of future Zillas. (Where is 
Transzilla!) If we don't continue buying Zillas there won't be anymore 
and there would be no incentive for further product developement. We 
Delorean owners are lucky to have someone like Mr.Zilla to help us 
keep these cars going, some car Marques could use his skills yet they 
have no one like him.
