Re: what did you get done 5/30/11 memorial day edition

well, got off work early friday and had a friend get my C10 and clan it up for a car cruise friday night, met him at cruise start location and went on the cruise, parked it at the park for a show of sorts and went to fire it up for a buy a bit later, cranked hard then fired, shut it off and when it came time to leave it cranked VERY hard and slow, so i turned off key and tried again, got a "click" from ignition, then tried again and got nothing. Thought it was battery so i ran to parts store MINUTES before closing and bought an optima red top - still no go on crank, so i got a hammer and took 8 blows on my started to fire the truck up.

apparently its time for me to start looking for a high toque mini starter

that pretty much ruined my weekend. talk about embarrassing and disappointing!
