Well, I found out that my 7.3 litre deisel will not run with no power, we lost the alternator about 1 1/2 hours ago and tried to make it home, 1/2 hour from home the guages died and about 5 minutes later so did the 7.3 litre, sure glad I'vegot the gas stove in the camper to keep warm until my buddy Kevin shows up with booster cables!

Oh man that's a bummer I just put an alternator in my duramax this summer luckily my truck has dummy lights to let me know

I blew a tranny line last night on my plow truck. Good thing I was plowing my driveway when it blew.

Kevin showed up about 45 minutes after my call with booster cables and a brand new $195 alternator, 5 guys,cold on the side of a very busy 2 lane road, about 15 minutes later we were on the road with the new alternator installed.  this reminds me of a plaque that my grandmother had on her sink windowsill, ( True friends are like diamonds, precious but rare, False friends are like autumn leaves, found everywhere ) I think that sums it up, Thanks Kevin, Dan and I thank you!

Slim I would tell you if that was a chevy the alternator wouldn't have died but that wouldn't be nice
