my new motor has about 700 miles on it and by the time i fly up, board the dog, gas, take off work i'm spending well over $800.. it costed me $595 to ship it.. and trust me.. i drive mine.. that car has been in alot of battles over the years..

MMM, been there/done that.
Good thing is they are worth so little it wasn't tempting to sell it.
:bigeyes;

you kidding me.. he'd be easy to deal with. i delt with speedy auto transport out miami ( a broker).
after the first 3 days it wasnt picked up it was because i paid in full by cc. i dont have the cash for the cod. anyway.. the broker said the carrier wouldnt pick it up because it was paid by cc. i openly laughed at him. this is the convo:
me: i dont get it.. i paid you IN FULL right?
him: yes.
me: your the broker right?
him: yes.
me: so.. you pay the driver right?
him: you dont know how it works in the trucking industry.
me: trust me i knwo.. your paid in full there for you take your cut now and pay them.
him: oh.. well when you put it like that i guess your right.
thats just some of it.
anywya now to today. i told them to call me so i could take off of work to get it. so.. i get a phone call the car will be here early morning.. COOL!
20 min later another call.. it'll be here late afternoon. i explain that the previous phone call said it'll be here early morning and i need to know whats going on.. aparently the driver didnt know they had another car to drop off before mine..
-
That sucks. Drivers sure are stupid.
-
i know right. thank god i'm a logistics engineer
-
Seriously, all they have to do is drive from point A to point B.
-
thats too hard for some. they make it so much harder then it is. when i do LTL i have it all situated. all paper work for the right amount of skids and what not. i mean.. it is common sense right? stop 1 stop 2 etc.
right away when it was all straightened out the driver wanted to know if i wanted her to change her route around.. i didnt want to make it any more confusing then it is now. all i want is my car.
-
got the car.. i'm so damn stupid for letting it sit. nothings broke.. starts drives perfect. bumper fillers are done... paint.. shot.. more so then before.. but sits and idles at 168clt drives 165
-
Glad you got her home.

-

-

-
chris.. thats EXACTLY what i said.. then laughed.. looked it over and went inside.
on an up note.. driving it home i gave it a bit of squeeze.. all i'm saying is hot damn.. steve your right.. sticking with my 44 for a bit!
-
volt lite come on in the dash when you turn the key to ON?
-
yes steve. stays on while running too.
-
then it sounds like the alt died
-
If you can get the alt. off the car, we can disassemble it and test it's guts. Get it off the car and check back.
-

Rob,
I've gotta ask, does the heater work??? :evil;
-
f u paul.. i swear i was thinking that this morning. no it dont.. it also still has the electrical demond in it (that i've had from day one) that keeps eating up alt. and batteries. all dimmer switches, light switches grounds, fuel pump, ignition switch have been checked, factory alarm died (thank god) no draws in the radio.. and its still there.
the next alt. that goes in the car will be #7 on my 6th battery in 9 years. look for the problem you ask? well its been to buick when i first got it for a week.. they said they cant find it.. so.. i gave up. lol
-

Ack. I have one of those. Well, I bought the kit, not the complete unit.
Is there some issue with the kits I need to be aware of?

Sorry Rob, I couldn't help myself.
I hate electrical problems, they are the worst and I have no idea how to fix them. Some guys are good with electrical issues, but not me.
Glad to hear that you've got your car down in Florida with you.

nah, the Coriolis Effect is stronger up north so that the flasher must be mounted on the left side instead of the right side to keep the amps from bursting thru the case of the flasher and exposing themselves
