So all that originally happened was the starter was overloaded and the battery cable got hot because low / bad voltage at the battery. It happens. Summer kills starters and batteries.

Start there. Need pix.

You're gonna need pix to direct your wife. Rounded line? You're gonna have to REMOVE the battery and set it on the ground.
13mm/ 1/2" socket/wrench
A 3/8" drive ratchet and six inch extension.
An 8mm or 5/16?

Take the keys and put them in your pocket too. lol

@4WDKC Thanks for the tag.

Wait. She was just gonna move it around? Flat tires go back to round dude..does this even really need fixed right now? Shouldn't you be like, getting better first and stuff?

did you look at other options before surgery? I have a bulging disc that was pinching a nerve in my lower back and would take away all strength in my legs so I couldnt even stand. I started going to a chiropractor and having it realigned. The only time I have issues with it now is when I strain the muscles in my lower back and they have trouble holding the vertebrae in place with all my fat pushing on them. I now have an inversion table I use to help correct alignment issues so I don't have to go to the dr as often.

I have tried everything. Herniated my first few discs in 2016. Been struggling with these three since may. Tried it all again. Surgery is my only option now.


I cant feel my left side anymore. I have to watch my left foot when I walk to make sure i took a step. The pain is constant, only tempered by all these pills.

I have only had two ambulance rides in life- unconscious after a head on collision, and when this pain made me feel like I was burning from the inside out(that pain was the worst I have ever felt).

I can't properly explain the pain I am in. Kinda like we will never know birthing pain.

Nerve pain is some kinda devil pain.



This text to my brother is when it became unbearable, and I looked at all options. All roads have led to surgery

Battery is disconnected. These tires had flat spots one time that took forever to go away. She was just being a good wife.

I am unable to work on it, but I need to diagnose/see it. I need something to do right now other than guess what it is.

I am familiar with the concept, when mine hit I was walking up a flight of stairs on a cat walk. Luckily I had both hands on the rails and I locked my arms to held myself up that way so I could slowly lower down to the stairs where the pain went away, until I tried to stand again. Best way I found to describe it was I told someone that to simulate it for them I would randomly walk up behind him and punch him in the kidney as hard as i could.

Ya.
Take the battery out and set it on the ground.

05 Aviator- last and best heads. The DC heads. Need to replace guides and tensioners though. Even with low mileage the last owner used the wrong oil, and filters without anti drain back valves.

Last one is how they both sit now.

For a 5,000lb suv that thing revs high, and gives most cars a run for they're money(not that I have done that). Its more comfortable than anything I have ever sat in. Awd, Full rear wheel till front needs it. It has every option but rear entertainment, and the heated/cooled seats are heavenly, along with the sunroof. Handled that snow like it was dry pavement
