And even driven for a few days that way just by parking on a grade. Also nice to see the progress over the new place. The BBQ shed looks well built. And I really like the squirrel. It's seldom to see one with a water hose. It has a four speed in it, but I couldn't get up enough speed to push start it. The parking lot was too flat, I only managed to get it from one parking spot to the next. I thought maybe that might at least unstick the starter, but it didn't. Neither did tapping it with a hammer. Come to think of it, I better check to see if the engine locked up, maybe the starter is good. But the starter acted like it was hanging up once before though, then it finally started, and it hasn't happened since, until yesterday. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted July 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 We decided yesterday that what we really ought to do is trade both of our cars in and get a GOOD pickup. Zina's been talking about getting something bigger for a while, since we haul 3 dogs around most of the time anyway. Her CR-V is almost new and my Impala is a 2016, but it's like new. We just don't need it, and it only has 77,000 miles on it. A 4 door pickup would be nice, but as we all know pickup prices are just crazy high! I looked yesterday at some local dealer websites and a half decent used truck was like 30 to $40,000. Crazy! Anyhow, here's a girl just waiting for a hood to sit on. 3 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Freightrain Posted July 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 19 hours ago, other dog said: Stuff happens. Could have been worse though, it could have been yesterday when it was sweltering hot. We went to the Home Depot store to pick up a freezer that we got last night and the starter locked up on the truck. Now we're waiting on a ride because there was no room in the rollback truck. $120 to tow it from Lynchburg to Concord. Couple winters ago, was out to lunch and went to leave Subway to go back to work and...."click". Nothing, nadda, kaput. There was lots of snow in the street, I wasn't climbing under there to rap it with anything. I called a tow truck and had it taken the 3 blocks back to work where we had a shop across the road that does all my basic truck work. I was in no mood to do it myself, even in our warm shop(I didn't have any "work" clothes to wear). I wasn't laying in all the slush either from the truck dripping on me. I'm beyond that kind of work anymore. I paid the few hundred bucks to have it all done for me. I count my blessing when I'm not in Timbuktoo and no help to be found. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Self fixing is not only a money save but a huge time save in many cases. Not always though and we can't go beyound our possibilities. I guess the issue was the starter. Or even just the control power supply to it. If the engine was stuck and the starter was trying to force it to spin you would hear a click and observe extreme drop of voltage in the instrumen cluster.

I tried to turn the crank pulley with an adjustable wrench a while ago and it would not budge. At all. I'm going up there tomorrow with some tools and a breaker bar and see if it'll come unstuck. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 I'm glad y'all said that- I'm the same way! I told Zina I'd rather pay somebody else to work on that truck than be up there laying on the ground taking the starter off. But I might though, just to see if the starter is even the problem. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 The only reason I still try to do whatever work I can still do is that I want it done right. I hate it when other people work on my stuff. They just don't take the same care with it that I do. I hate doing it. But, I hate having it messed up even worse! 4 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
