Precision Fit
Hi Everyone
Havent touched a grinder or a welder to my Willys truck in about a month, but I have to share with you how much of an idiot I really have turned into. I have been thrashing on my plow Jeep (1965 CJ5) for over a month, snow is due here anyday now :cry: . So I had the CJ5 up and running on Wednesday night; go out Sunday afternoon to warm it up so I can change the oil (the stuff in it is pitch black). I turn the key, nothing, no click,click, no nothing. I grab the battery charger, plug it in..it wont even take a charge...I am getting frantic about now...test light lights..now what could it be???...I thrash for about 2 hours checking connections and such....the wife comes out to see me and we chat..she can tell I am frustrated beyond belief (the battery is only 11 monthes old)..she says hey why dont you try the old battery...(yeah right I am thinking)..I throw it on the charger for about 10 minutes...well long story short...old smelly battery turns it over like nothin...so how can a 11 month old battery be so dead it'll light a test light but nothing else???...These old Jeeps are so simple...I could I have been so stupid???..anybody else been this bad before???
