Survey: type 44 break down frequency

I must say, Wallace, that from your account I would seriously think of
dumping the car for something more reliable :) All of my little
mishaps occurred with the car in the driveway and close to tools,
except today! Going about my business of making some dollars I came
out of a building, got in ye olde 87 5kq, turn the key, starts to turn
over and no more batts. Check the CC head channel 11 and see 10.5
volts. Go back into building and friend says to use her car for a
jump. My cables are about six feet or so and the only way to get it
hooked up was to get her car onto the sidewalk as I was pretty much
hemmed in. I got dirty looks from some pedestrians :) Left it running
all the time when going about my errands. Who's gonna steal this ol'
beast :) Alt. output was good the whole way and when I got home and
shut it down in a more friendly environment there were 12.5 volts at
the batt. Some errant thing is happening I'm going to have to track
down, but now she's close to the tools.

Best regards,
Geo
