What's a "dialect thing"?? Is that anything like ebonics?? :)

I don't give partial credit in my classes.. "Close" means just that.. Close.. As in, "You're getting the idea.. Now go back and read the question again"...

Leavin work today and the truck started fine, drove 6 miles to the grocery store and went to leave and just click click click. Tightened power on battery and no change. All lights and everything are normal, got a jump and fired right up. Driving home the amp gauge never left the the low red. When i shut it off at home and tried to restard it had nothing but all interior light and everything are normal. So im assuming the alternator ****... do the just go with no warning??? Also auto store said its a single wire, is there a difference in the plugs?

You must be registered for see images attach


most of the time they just go, I have seen them fail and start over charging a car, not charge a car and a friend destroyed the insides of one. After taking it off he shook it and parts started falling out, that was a new one for me.
