[QUOTE="local804, post: 342075, member: 1123"] I agree totally with the band aid of the problems which goes back many years when my truck was dead at a stop. While on the phone w/a mechanic suit, I was told to hit the starter with a fire extinguisher and to be careful not to hit the threaded bolts. (positive lead) When I did that and the truck started I was told just let the truck run and to tape the key in the on position so I wouldnt shut it off as a force of habit. What a joke when we look back at situations that happen in the past. Today they would fire me for leaving the bulk head door open but 10-15 years ago I can leave the truck running while I am inside a business. On a different note, how does the driver see that he has cracked brakes without taking off the wheel? I dont even think I ever checked the brakes once on my pretrip on the package car. [/QUOTE]
