In the world. Saturday morning at 6am the alternator went out in my pickup 10 miles from home. Good friend jumped me 3 times to get it town. Replaced the alt, broke off the plastic overflow and the radiator. Drilled it out, tapped it and replaced with brass. Did chores and went home about 130. Went back out to do evening chores and it wasn't charging. After cleaning all the terminals and reading horror stories on you tube I yanked the hot wire off the batt and it died. Took it in to the big city since the local auto parts was closed and sure enough tested 12.3. Rated for 14.6. Replaced it again. Fast forward to Monday, installed replacement starter on 1105 Massey, she fired up. Ran about 5 minutes and gelled up....can we fast forward to spring?
