Thanks for the fast reply's. Called the dealer and going in at 3pm today. He
even going to have a 137amp alternator waiting and even maybe a nice red top
Optima waiting for me! Calm down guys! I know I could change theses out my
self a lot cheaper. But I got me one of those 5/100,000 mile mechanical
service contract with a $25 deductible. Yea I'm a happy camper ;-)
Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
