You could also go to Sears and get a Die hard. Have one in the vete and even with the electrical gremlins living in my car, she starts all of the time.

Just to update. I finally got my truck working again. Actually I didn't, but the shop did. I figured it was time to take it there after I bought a new battery, (I did go with the Sears Die Hold Gold), and it still didn't work. After three hours the mech finally found a clip that had fallen out from behind the gauge panel. And yes, that was my fault. I had replaced a light bulb the day before and I guess the clip didn't go in all the way because I remember hitting a bump then a couple minutes later I noticed the charging system was shot. So a $1 light bulb cost me much more than I had which was designated to be my new front clip for my vette. I wasn't very happy with myself, but what's done is done. I needed some new parts anyway.

Don't ya hate when that happens...!!! |cussing| |cussing| |cussing| One wonders how far down the electrical check list the mechanic got before finding the clip (in three hours he must have gotten through most of it). Glad it got found though!
