when it rains it pours..
« on: November 14, 2009, 02:53:49 PM »
everyone knows how it is..... just seems i cant catch a break lately, recently medically retired from navy, tough to find a decent job(got a letter from the sheriffs office that i did not get hired)  and now the sister in law went out to hop in my jeep to go to work and it wouldnt start... i thought no biggie just needs a jump right.... hooked it to my shop charger/jumper and wouldnt turn over so i just let it charge overnight but unfortunatly the battery is toast... unsure how old it is but i inspected it prior to charging and it was okay.  guess i can at least be glad the starter still works ???

yes sir, unfortunatly the labels are all scuffed..... looks at least 5 years old to me....

I know how you feel about selling your truck, had my dream truck and had to sell it since the navy saw fit to "retire" me.  i know it sucks...

"There is always a sunshine after the rain." Hope you can make your jeep start as soon as possible and get hired on that job interview...

Thankyou!  well all I need is a new battery but that will have to wait a few weeks so I can catch up on bills..... the great news is I got the job, starting monday, they have my bay all cleaned out and ready for me to roll in.  looking forward to working on the dodges, jeeps, and chryslers along with the vw and subarus attached to this dealer... :doggy:
