You want me to pickup a battery and deliver it to your place? There is no way that FJ is going to start after your making a claim like that. Not where you live at -20F.

I'm going to ride the wave as long as I can. If it makes it through this winter, then it'll probably see 14 years (hell, it might out live me).
I'll be headed to the Geezer Club meeting tomorrow afternoon, so I have my fingers crossed!

Fired up like a champ this afternoon in the driveway, again @ Wally World (Printer ink), and again @ Kate's (Geezer Club Meeting). Home now building a Rueben Sandwich, and deciding on a movie.
Life is good.

I've got a 1998 dodge, 12 valve cummins. 5 sp manual trans. As cold weather came, it needed batteries. I wound up putting 2 850 cca Batts in it. This translates into 1700 cca. It's starting well now!
All you need with something like that is to leave it at the top of the hill each night, then in the morning release the brake, pop the clutch and drive away. Get one of those 17 youngun's to give you a shove in a pinch if the hill isn't high enough to begin with.
Ha ha! For some reason, this diesel won't start, unless you bump the starter, for a moment. I'm not sure why.

I have far too much experience with dragging diesel tractors to start them. Darn new-fangled stuff probably insists on inserting a credit or debit card to allow you to turn the key to the ON position.
turn the key to the ON position.
You must not have seen a lot of recent vehicles. Many of them no longer have a place to insert a key. If you have the fob in your pocket you just push the start button.

Me too. My experience was being on the tractor. When it started I couldn't get it stopped and smashed into the pickup. Found out the reason it wouldn't start (or stop)
was the clutch was stuck.
