**** John....that's terrible news. Especially around Christmas. They have thoughts and prayers heading their way. If it's not troubling, please keep us posted and tell us she will be fine. Damn....getting a couple tears in my eyes. I'm truly sorry to hear this.
God please help.
Wanted to move the truck yesterday, and just got a clunk from the starter, even though it was measuring 12+ volts. Was getting dark, so procrastinated till today. Terminals didn't look too bad, shined them up anyway and of course still had the clunk. Relays were working, solenoid obviously working, so at that point which is it, dead winding or frozen starter? Ready to give up when I made a last try, turned the key 4 or 5 times and it broke loose and started. First time I've had a starter freeze in cold weather. With the biggest gloves that could hold a wrench, my fingers were good for about 10 minutes today. At least it got slightly above zero while I was out there. I had to take my gloves off for about 5 minutes to get the screws started back on the battery terminals, I don't think they were damaged too much by frostbite...
**** i barely got a skid plate installed and it was 40 degrees warmer.
Prayers for my neighbors wife, Denise. I'm in Gatlinburg visiting mom for a few days when the neighbor calls saying his wife had passed out. I told him to hang up and call 911. I call the OLs nephew and ask him to go help. He called saying he couldn't get in as the paramedics were there and conducting CPR. He won't last long without her
Sorry to hear of this John.
Did she pass, or still with us? I couldn't tell for sure from your description.
He's 68, retired first sergeant. He was there at Somalia, one of the choppers used to be his. I think she's a year older. I haven't heard anything, which isn't good
