    Ive always been a Pete man, owned 2 before this Kdub and still have one that my old man drives, KW's aint for me, aint no feelin like that petermobilin.

    D16 the truck was rolled over, and rebuilt, thats why, my old Petes never had issues.

    This sounds interesting to me because this buddy of mine was telling me that the wireing in the KW,s were color coded and the petes were not because I plan on buying a pete because I like the way they look.So if this is true a kw would be much easier to work on than the petes when it came to electrical issuse.Could this be true?
