Once again, the truck wouldn't start this morning. Had to beat on the starter to get it going. When it finally started I drove the 2 1/2 hours into Medley, FL (that is just west of Miami International Airport) and delivered. On the way was having problems with the charging system on the truck. Fortunately the sun was up by the time I got back on the road and didn't need lights anymore. Decided not to get another load down in Miami and instead just drive back home to get the truck fixed. It acted up all the way home but I made it. Didn't use the A/C or anything else on the way. Boy, was it hot!!!! Sweating all the way, not only from the heat but the anxiety of not knowing if I would make it home without breaking down. That was the longest drive home!!
The mechanic came by to work on my truck. Couldn't get the started off. One of the bolts would not let loose. Called his friend that had a torch and he came by and heated it up and finally got the starter off. He took it to the shop where they will take it apart, rebuild it and then he will bring it back to re-install. He also checked the charging system. It was charging just fine. He thought that all the problems were related to the starter. We will see when it gets all put back together. Hope so 'cus I can't afford a whole lot more!!
