Got up this morning and went to the shop to get the Dakota out to run to the
post office and Video store.........

Inserted the key , gave it a twist and guess what?........ZIP..NADA.....JUST
A POP came from under the hood and that was all she wrote........

Had to call Chrysler road service, and they dispatched a road truck to
either Flat bed it to the dealer or jump it.

By the time he got there I'd determined that the original battery had gone
to Heaven, so a jump start was all that was needed......it FIRED RIGHT UP!!

I drove it straight to AZ and bought a new group 27 Duralast Gold, installed
it and checked the charging system.....

Everything was ok.....$70.00 later it's running again........

AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH!

Why, when I'm on vacation?!!

It could'a been worse, could've happened on the fun field in
Carlisle last weekend!!!!
