Fred,
Blame the morons who designed it and used a black reservoir. While I love
America, the people who design American cars are rather dim witted. We can
send men to the moon and invent the internet but for the most part the cars
are still poorly designed and built.
You can flame me but after talking to a few friends who are mechanics I
stand firm in my belief.
Mike
