That is just wrong on so many different levels! :laugh:~The company was called Manlove auto parts. He has a company truck that he drives home and it says Manlove all over it.
I have an ace in the hole. My father-in-law works for federated auto parts. He is a car guy, and has about 30 years working for parts suppliers. We do pick on him because he worked for a company that federated bought out. The company was called Manlove auto parts. He has a company truck that he drives home and it says Manlove all over it.
:laugh: I can't stop laughing at this quote! :laugh:
No maam, those arent the ones..... Leeeeets see,,78, CJ7 , 4.2L........YUP, that's what it calls for!..... No maam, their not right..... You sure about the year?...... Yes maam....... You know, sometimes those older vehicles are confusing, are you sure it's a 78?....... Yes maam, It's a 1978, CJ7, 258 -6. Those hoses arent even close. .......... OH, well, you do know you will have to trim them a little to fit properly......... Yes maam, but no ammount of trimming will make those hoses fit, I'll just get them at the dealer, but thanks so much for your time. Advance has 2 young guys there that are pretty sharp, work on their own stuff, and seem to get the whole, "just let me have that part # please" thing. I stay away when their not on duty!
mommy and daddy just wasted alot of money. if its not in the computer they say we cant get it. one kid we have cannt even find a fuse block in a customers car. hes been in school over a year. thats bad. sometimes people need a part and they tell me all the info and i just go get it. i have done this fo 7 years and have alot of parts in my memory.
Damn it man... Sorry about that!
Why does the movie 'My Cousin Vinnie' jump into mind after reading this? :laugh: Your not from New York are ya?My least favorite customers are the arogant guys that think all SB chevy's are the same and that they know way more than a girl. Whatever.....if they really tick me off they purposely get the wrong parts, just to teach them a lesson
How do you test an alternator while it's in the jeep for proper operation?
To make sure it's putting out the right voltage and not over charging the battery.
Should be what 14v or something like that? Is it constant?
I swapped in a 124amp CS144 from a caddy and I know I had issues with the old battery but I want to eleminate the alternator as the cause.
Especially since I just picked up a Red top optima. $145
I get it, I'm a Jeep owner and ad-block detectors kinda stink but ads are needed on this site. This is a CJ site, all the ads are set for autos (some times others get through.) I cannot make them just for Jeeps but I try.
Please allow ads as they help keep this site running by offsetting the costs of software and server fees.
