Grrr, left me stranded! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the power steering done today and went around the block - all well.

Later today decided I would drive to get gas and show the K5 to a friend. Course the kids wanted to come. We made it about 5 or 6 miles, coming up to a stop sign it coughed and died. Wouldn't you know it, the alternator isn't charging. Luckily my buddy had just passed me in his 70 1 ton and he turned around to come to our rescue. Wouldn't jump start so he grabbed a strap and drug me home

Oh well, will try a new alternator even though this one tested okay and see what happens.

Did snap some outside photos prior to leaving to go get gas.

She stranded us, but I was still smiling
