Actually it wasn't my problem, I quickly did a vid for troubleshooting alternators as I thought someone was coming back for help. They haven't shown and the vid is a first draft, so no sense embarrassing myself.

Kind Sir: Might I remind you that there are only so many spots on the FTE 6.0 boat for Jokesters and Jesters, and those that just flat out embarrass themselves...

We don't have room for one more at this time, but would be happy to give you a waiting number.... You'd be like 9,013 at this point

All the best, Jack

Scott

Think of it as a late April 1st.

Us old people get a little time distorted.

You are either very conservative in your estimate or in denial. At least I hope so. I think I may be responsible for at least 10 percent of the number you posted...

Not sure why you took it down Jack... I thought it was pretty good.

Somebody actually watched it!

Thanks Randy.

After looking at it the morning I started to think it took me a long while to get to the point. And what do I really want to do with it. Plus during the three plus hour upload I found a few errors and I needed to get started on my trucks problem so corrections were not going to get done soon.

I thought it was well done, you should put it back up Jack.

Been meaning to ask where that grill came from, never saw one like it before.

I'll put it back up after some rework, I watched it again last night. I didn't care for the underhood lighting, or some of my narrative. Or the don't do this event! We keep getting battery light questions a few times a year so I was hoping it would help the newbies.

The grill I made myself years ago from two stock grills. It cracked up top by the hood so I replaced it with stock. And now this one has cracked up top too. I think its a result from my preferring to pull the fan and radiator when I'm doing anything engine wise, and my butt causes some stress going over the wall to stand on the steering. It's also why I keep the stator off.

The "Don't do this" event... You felt strongly about it, leave it in. You have fast hands, they were moving as if you had super power.

I was comfortable doing it, but it has potential for someone else. I didn't think about what I did as a teaching moment and didn't have time for a reshoot trying to get it out. REDO!

It was sped up for time as you know. I work slow, I talk slow. I work slower lately. I've got a 15 minute window for YouTube at my upload speed.

I've tried speeding up the narrative but I sound like I've been breathing helium.
