Thinking the battery of course which is a Never Start though it is the 800CCA Group 34 series, is starting to go slowly. HVAC system started messing up in the short trips I did. Thinking might be soon time for an Optima Yellow or Red Top.

Shoveled around it. We got at least a foot and still snowing. Haven't seen a plow since about 11AM. Thinking of moving to Boston... :icon_lol:

Just kidding. This is nothing compared to what some of you have had. I actually do like it as long as it isn't too frequent. Seems like the mid Atlantic gets nothing or a couple-two-tree feet as we used to say back home. Of course people drive just as bad whether there is nothing or a foot. :ROFLJest:

Hit the 4 year mark on this 850CCA battery.
I did have to add a small bit of distilled water after 6 months.

Now I'm wondering about the shot glass in that picture. What? One for the Jeep and one for you too? :icon_lol:

^ Too Funny...
If one was for me, it better be filed with something stronger than distilled water!

tried to re-route the main power wire for the plow to the alternator. wire's too short. in the process I dropped the socket off the extension into some mysterious black hole in the jeep. 4 hours total searching and I STILL can't find the ******* thing!

that would be impressive as hell as I was on the driver's side of the car when it popped off (under the battery tray is where the solenoid is for the plow.)

I did that with a 3/8 inch box end wrench near the battery and never found it. That was a couple years ago. Has to be in there somewhere but it's like the Bermuda triangle. :shrug:

Dang, if you find my wrench and I find your socket that would be really something. Twilight zone :happy175:

Ok I was going by the part where you said you were trying to hook the wire up to the alternator.

My money is that it's in the front skid plate.
I've had to search for tools twice. Took forever and I kept doubting myself that it was there.

In the process, I've found some nuts and bolts dropped by previous mechanics.
