sidemount battery terminals piss me off. I would hack them off and put on some topmounts out of spite

He's at work right now, but he should be able to get to it tonight. Would that work? If you can't wait, but can find a truck, I can probably get ahold of his trailer so long as I'm the one pulling it.

you need RDram for that edit - now that I think about it, it's possible that you you take normal DDR. Check out your manual before you buy anything to be sure about what you need.

Tractor is willing to tow the car, I talked with him last night about it. I thought he had replied in this thread, but I guess not.

oops, missed the "and then everything dies" bit. Does it start off jumper cables? If it starts then dies, then alternator *probably*. If it stays running, then either your battery is shot, or not putting out enough juice to run the starter. Disconnect the battery and take it to your friendly local auto parts store to have it checked. If it doesn't start off jumper cables, it's the starter. Whack it a few times while cranking. If still nothing, you can either have it rebuilt (and upgraded) or buy a new one. Electrical parts, I have to suggest getting either a NAPA part or OEM. The only other possibility I can think of is bad wiring. Any wires that don't look to be in that great of shape (anything original) could (should?) be replaced with new wires. For battery cables and ground, I suggest 4 guage. I remember Hoblick having what appeared to be a miss in one of his mustangs. Turned out his ground cable from the battery to the frame was burned in half. This should end up being a somewhat simple fix if you check everything that Ron and I have mentioned, I just thought up some other stuff and added some more details that I missed in my first post.

Put some 31" x 10.50" BF Goodrich A/T All Terrain tires on it, and you'll be find for anything you could possibly find in central Ohio. For Athens, find some friends that also have four wheel drives, and don't leave the pavement without them. Once you get used to, and good at driving off-road, you shouldn't have any problems. Please don't take that as an insult to your driving skills, as it takes time to adjust to a completely different way of driving. I suggest checking front wheel bearings, CV joints and boots, and lock in/lock out hubs for wear. If equipped with automatic hubs, replace them with manual ones. Make sure the transfer case engages. To check, find a parking lot with some empty space. Put it into four wheel drive with the hubs locked in, high or low range, doesn't matter. Crank the steering wheel to either side while moving slowly. If you feel the front end wanting to bind, maybe even hop, then it's working fine. If it feels like it would in two wheel drive, get the four wheel drive system checked out.

Did the lights dim when you went to start it? If so, the battery is low. Could be bad battery, could be bad alternator. If not, it's probably the starter. Hit it with a hammer*, and try again. *If a hammer won't fit, a crow bar will work too. Question - is it a manual tranny, or auto? If a manual, you could just roll start it.

Saturn is on the right, Nissan is on the left.

well, the only other thing is, does it have a good title? If so, I would like to check it out. Please PM me with a way to get ahold of you and what time would be good for you.

TTT for new price

Where is it located? edit - also, is the frame solid? [ 30. November 2004, 12:23 AM: Message edited by: copperhead ]

+1 with everything TJ said, if you need an under construction sticker, I think that everyone can already tell that it's not complete.

seriously, what are you hoping to get out of the truck?

make a better attempt then

I used to see it all the time, not so much anymore though

Or you can not change the topic of my thread.
