It's 2 bolts, 2 wires and about 30 minutes. Get a ride down to AutoZone in Hiram. It's really an easy fix.

Good point... I thought they closed at 9PM but there is another one down the street that is open until 10PM. I just freaked because my truck is stuck in front of a convenience store and I don't want the clerks to have it towed for the fun of it. I just called and they have a starter on the shelf. Here we go. JK |

You can always get one more "crank" if you have a hammer and know the sweet spot.

And the appropriate 4 letter incantations. "Come on you FORD, crank!" rj |

Howdy Joe, I know how you feel. That is a real let-down feeling. At 279,000+ miles, my Ford Ranger had the gall to have the alternator die on me while driving into work at fire department one AM. I drove it until battery died too. Spent the day fixing it. First alternator (Bosch) died after an hour (bad regulator). The second alternator (made in Mexico) is still going strong.
Let us know how you made out. Starters are fairly easy to replace, but darkness adds to the difficulty.

Thanks everyone for checkin' in...
1995 Ford F150 135,000 miles - $3,500 no car/truck note - priceless for everything else there's two wheels Yep. It has needed a few repairs... Nothing that the barter system and a willing ARFCOMER couldn't take care of. Can I say that in public?

Sure you can say that! I have plenty of Chevy parts laying around, that have never been needed. We could keep that old girl running for years putting quality Chevy parts on her to make up for the inferior parts Mexican parts that it came with.

heh next time call me. My auto shop is in that general area and I could have swung by and fixed her for you after work. at 9:15 I'm already at home so that wouldn't have worked...
