Get off the Sidewalks, finally got the Truck running again. Repair shop installed a Helocoil and new spark plug, then said the Alternator was out when then started it up. Wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to repair.
Picked it up last night and drove it home in the dark with no alternator to run the electrical system, just the battery. Of coarse I had to stop at every stoplight between the shop and home, and had to wait for one Fire Truck to go past. Just made it home as the battery went dead.
Threw battery on a charger, replaced the drivebelt and alternator and I'm back driving and doing damage.
Nice to have Transportation again.
