Hi guys,
I did a bunch of short trips around town today. I have an '05 Ranger with 80k miles or so.
The last three times I started it, it was more and more reluctant to turn over. The final time it just conked out and wouldn't start.
I got it boosted, and drove it almost all the way home and it started losing power. My foot was almost all the way to the floor and I barely made it in the garage.
We boosted it again when my wife got home. The battery was tested a few months ago and was ok. Its a newer battery.
I just popped in a new alternator seeing how I need the truck tomorrow. The damn DC side of my meter is burned out and I bought a new one at the parts store....it didn't work....yep.. one of those days.
