Well last week my Jeep died. I was going to go pay the bills on May 1st but When I got Cowgirl and Brynlee all loaded up my car wouldn't start!!! When James got off work he came home and looked at it. The battery was really nasty so he cleaned it up but in trying to get the connections off one broke! So the next day he stopped off and got some new connections. We replaced those but in the process we nearly had our heads taken off when the wind blew and the hood came down on us. Luckily James caught it with just a bruise to the arm. By this Time James figured it would be the alternator and maybe the battery too.
A few days later When the wind had died down James started trying to get the alternator out so he could take it down and have it tested. He discovered quit quickly that this would be very difficult without a way to lift the car. Brynlee did her best to help Daddy. After discovering how difficult it would be to get the alternator out and tested we just switched my battery and his to test the battery. After some driving around with James' battery and having everything work fine I returned to find James stuck at the end of the parking lot. He had tried to push start his jeep with my battery and had no luck. This proved it was most definitely a battery issue. So we went inside to do some research on where to find a good yet cheap battery......
Brynlee found and brought us these batteries!
Any way now the car is fixed and our purses a bit lighter but thank heaven it wasn't the alternator too... (knock on wood) we hope!
