To be honest with you

When things like this happen to me, I always think that it could've been worse or more expensive....Also, it's better that in happened at home & not out on the highways away from home (I always search for the positives in the bad negatives in life)...I hope that you can do the same & enjoy all that you have to enjoy in life...Good Luck `Mike

Its strange how first the battery, and now an alternator... I just spent $179.00 on a lifetime alt for the Silverado...
It was an unexpected expense. Is it ever convenient? Me thinks not! Lol.
Keane:
Sounds like you and Space need a long deserved break from work!
But in these times...
Best to take advantage of it whilest you can!
Who knows if and when it will cone to a screeeching halt?
Tad:
Have a great weekend with the mrs for sure..
How pics and progress report on the building of that new "Super Computer?![Smile](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
For me,
I'm going to do the finishing touches on the Monte for Saturdays show with Jason and his buds!
Have a Great Day/Weekend EV1!
STAY SAFE!

I'm starting to look up replacement alternators. PM me Zen if you do find one randomly. I will probably order tonight/tomorrow from Amazon so I might have it by Wednesday since it should be a nice day.

Afternoon gang!
Mike - if you recall, I had the HD alt (cost about $50 more). To be honest my biggest pet peeve was the non-stock mounting of the wire you have to hold with a nut. It worked fine, but was overkill. I've since gone to a stock spec alt.
Well, my saga continues with body shops, insurance and my Monte. But I am in touch with a guy that I think may help lead me to the end of this mess. A former neighbor who still works for a local body shop. He's going to talk with his manager Tuesday. This guy is more OCD about his cars then I am about mine. I shoulda called him in the first place.
