Archie's Ice Cream To The Rescue!

You got to do what you got to do for a friend, anytime, anywhere!

Yep, thanks Shant!

09:45am, take the M3 off the trickle charger, blinking green light, which indicates that the battery is >80% charged.

10:10am, stop at the gas station

10:05am, the car wont crank when I am ready to leave.

10:15am, call Archie, who is on his way to a big event for work 60 miles away.

10:30am, Shant takes the time to swing by and help a brutha out. And he left the jumpers with me in case I became stranded at the smog check place.

Thank you Shant!!!

Did you buy some ice cream at least?

[markseven]

[archie]

At Archie's... With every jump start, you get a FREE ice cream and set of jumper cables. :)

Man...kinda makes you look forward to breaking down ;)

So? Next start was it a bad alternator or failing cell in battery or golden?

By God's grace it was a best case scenario: close to home, stuck under shelter vs. the 90° heat, easily fixable / low cost, and good buddies close by :)

I think its the Battery Tender. I drove her approximately 40 miles after Shant boosted her, and she cranks and starts fine, after sitting for two days (I did not put her on trickle after coming back home).

I am guessing the alternator charged the battery sufficiently during that 40 mile trip?

Now that's funny! Must have gotten some looks, lol. :rofl:

Are you starting a road side break down service?
