I SEE YOU MUSTA GOT J&N FULL AT LUNCH, MUST BE NAPPIN' W/ HIS "HAPPY NAPPER".I DON'T SEE HIM ON MESSENGER NOW

THE MEDIC

SORRY!

WISH I KNEW SOMEONE UP THAT WAY THAT COULD HELP YOU

LIKE "RANDY TRAVIS, ALLEN JACKSON, SAMMY KERSHAW, TIM McGRAW, ETC"

YOU ARE SORTA IN BETWEEN US TWO---MAYBE 2-3 HUNDRED MILES OR MORE GOING EITHER WAY

IF POSSIBLE, CONSERVE YOUR POWER, DON'T ROLL YOUR WINDOWS, WIPERS TO A MINIMUM, NO RADIO, HEATER BLOWER, ECT. YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW FAR YOU CAN GO USING ONLY NECESSARY ENGINE RELATED STUFF

STAY WARM--I HOPE YOUR VEHICLE HAS SOME WARM STUFF IN IT

PARTS GUYS WILL POINT OUT THE ALTERNATOR--I FEEL SURE IT'S NOT EZ LIKE DOIN' A REAL JEEP

HAVE THEM LOOK AT FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS, AND LOOK FOR "CRAPPY" CONNECTIONS THAT MAY NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHARGE CORRECTLY

KEEP US POSTED

BE GLAD TO KEEP SENDING YOU STUFF TO SING TO. MOSTLY COUNTRY!

THE MEDIC

Okay you two. I had to run something to UPS. Now that I'm back, I see I had breakfast, Lunch.

If I recall, 13v was the battery by itself? Is that correct. Is the vehicle running to get it home? Please, Medic, no more country music even if she is from Nashville. Ha

Let me know what the status is on the vehicle. Also, last night I was thinking about the locks and radio. Wondering if you have a weak connection or loose battery terminal. Just a thought at this time.

Let me know.
Joe

GLAD STUFF IS HAPPENING===HOPEFULLY INEXPENSIVELY

Don't give okay for repairs until you tell us what he says is wrong and what he plans to repair.

That is what I thought. What was happening was the battery would slowly die as you drove the car. Eventually, it would die and leave you stranded. You have two choices at this point. I can walk you through replacing it yourself (save his labor fee), or you can let him do it. Because of the alternator's location, it may be a little tough due to space. But it is nothing more than removing and replacing the part.

I am really surprised that Auto Zone didn't pick up on the problem. If you need me to contact him to make sure what he is doing, let me know. Just give me a number and a name. (I will need your name too so it sounds like we are friends and I know you.) Let me know what you want to do.

Joe

WHAT ABOUT ME?

I WAS GONNA LEAVE S.C. AND "SWING BY" PENNSYLVANIA AND PICK/UP J&N, THEN WE WERE GONNA GIVE YOU A HAND!

I'VE BEEN OUTTA POCKET A GOOD BIT OF THE DAY

WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING YOUR PLIGHT ON INSTANT MESSENGER

YOU'RE JUST UP THAT-A-WAY VISITING?

I RECKON IF SOMETHING HAD TO GO WRONG, THAT WAS A "NOT SO BAD PROBLEM". JUST A PAIN

IF YA'LL NEED TO KNOW ANY THING ELSE, BOTH OF US HAVE ACCESS TO "MITCHELL I" (A ONLINE REPAIR MANUAL FOR MOST CARS 80s ON UP) WE CAN GIVE YOU INFO, AND SOMETIMES GET YOU A DIAGRAM OF THE ISSUE

BEST THING YOU COULD DO IS TRADE THAT THING IN ON A JEEP WRANGLER, YOU COULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS AS THE BEST CHRISTMAS YOU EVER HAD!

KEEP US POSTED, I'LL UNLOAD MY '46 WILLYS JEEP, SINCE YOU WON'T BE NEEDIN' US NOW!

THE MEDIC

LETS HEAR MORE ON THE "CHESS SQUARES"?

FIXED YET OR JUST YAKKING?

THE MEDIC

What a ham. Paula, we are glad to help and hope we have. In the future, let us know if you run into trouble. If you want to speak with one of us, just add to this post. Also, if you run into trouble when replacing the alt, let us know. Please make sure the battery is disconnect before you start.

You are lucky, CJ didn't ask for a picture. Usually, he does.

Joe
PS: Let us know when it's fixed.

By the way, since you're in Nashville, I would be glad to cover your Country Music career by playing any instrument you need. I can even play the fiddle.

Now, tell me what you mean by Chess Squares. What is that?

(I THINK SOMETHING GOT IN 'EM, MAYBE SOME FLOUR FROM THE CAKE MIX)

LONGEVITY?

35 YEARS AND 65 YEARS

. THUS FAR?

NOT FOR THE "WEAK AND FAINT HEARTED"

THE MEDIC

HOW DID YOUR LOVE STRAY?

AND INTO "BOW TIE" TERRITORY?

IF YOU REALLY PROFESS YOUR LOVE AT A DEALERSHIP OR EVEN A SMALLER CAR LOT.......THEY ARE SURE TO FEEL THEIR OBLIGATION TO INSURE YOU LEAVE IN A "REAL VEHICLE".......AND GIVE YOU SOMETHING FOR THE SUBSTANDARD RIG YOU POSSESS NOW!

SOME OF DEM CHESS SQUARES MIGHT EVEN MAKE THEM BEND OVER BACKWARDS EVEN MORE!.......INSURE YOU TAKE A BOTTLE OR TWO OF MILK ALONG, DON'T WANT 'EM TO CHOKE, BUT SAVOR THE EXPERIENCE TO IT'S FULLEST POTENTIAL

YES, I USE THOSE TACTICS TOO
