BN on Tuesday, the battery on my truck died.

GN I went to get a replacement battery and there were 2 days left on the warranty. New battery, no charge.

BN I was moving snow around and the lights kept dimmer until the truck died. Seems like the alternator is the real problem.

GN it was in my driveway close to the garage so I was able to put it on the charger and get the plow off.

BN I couldn’t get it started to drive into town

GN I will be sitting indoors as I make calls to get it towed and repaired

I’m 73 and I’m lost with this one.:???:

gary d, Its the BN that was talking to GN when BN said no to GN then they went to get beers.

GN = Good News
BN = Bad News

I’m a youngster @ 66 and it took me a couple moments.

Thanks all.

Hardwater if you have a new battery and charge it to full charge you should be able to start and drive it to a shop.
Run the least amount of electrical items on the truck to get it to a shop for repair.

GN Took brother inlaw catfishing.
GN Told him to use rod holder.
BN He did not.
BN Rod went over the side.
GN Caught line with treble and sinker.
GN Fish was still on.
BN Brother inlaw did not believe me.
BN He is dinking around getting his rod to surface.

GN I took the tracked SXS out on the lake today and the slush appears to be frozen.
BN tomorrow night calling for temps about -20 with wind chills Thursday and Friday could reach -40. Now too cold to go fishing.
