I KNOW THAT HOLE ALLLLLL TOO WELL!!


That's when our fun ended Friday @ ECXC... I spent all friday night tearing apart the interior of the X, instead of drinking and having fun, like I had planned. Rob killed the alternator in that hole.


As for the loser in the Pathfinder - Dan, thanks for representing (not the loser part though, just the pathy part )

Oh, so I wasn't the only one that didn't read the CAUTION sign!

I made it through last spring.

The point of the snorkel is he didn't get engine damage!

I'm thinking of investing in a snorkel.

Just like skidplates...a snorkel is pretty cheap insurance against hyrdolocking your motor. And, they look really badass, too!

ummm... scott... I found out afterwards that that hole was made for trucks on 44's!!!

hey you forgot this one too... only moments before me... and with a little more speed, I should be able to... swamp my rig right after Spider!!!

cau-tion (k?'sh-n) n.

1. a) Careful forethought to avoid danger or harm.

b) Close attention or vigilance to minimize risk.

2. Prudence or restraint in action or decision.

3. A warning or admonishment, especially to take heed.

I'm gonna take a guess here and say that Scott fried his alternator and possibly his starter. if it was the ECU, I don't believe he'd have gotten as far as he did.

Yeah..my bet is alternator as well.

Scott...Did you hear from the shop today?

Well, my truck is fixed and they say running fine; everything checks out. Needed a new alternator and a battery. I have an Optima red top in there that is about a year old. he says that it won't take a charge. He still has it on the charger, but it hasn't been taking it. That is interesting. I will be taking that thing back.

Any way, it is fixed and I am driving down on Thursday to get it.

Everything I could have fixed myself...oh well, it is done. I would have paid most of that in towing anyway.

Wow good news.
I am very surprised that the redtop is not holding a charge. Unless it was shorted out and fried.

Red Top Warranty

Yeah, they have a 3 year free replacement guarantee on them. Definitely take it back!

but now to find out why your lap top wouldnt sync with your ECU and vice versa.

and what caused the dash board lights.......

Why his laptop wouldn't sync with the ECU...not enough juice due to the bad alternator is a possibility...or it might be that it's running Windows. LOL.

Dash board lights....sensors probably got a little wet, or because of the Alternator, again. When mine crapped out on me in my old car, the same thing happened.
