Ked Moderator Posts: 7499 From: Hot Hills o' Sand, N.C. Registered: Jul 99	posted 07-14-2002 09:05 PM I followed some really good advice today https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007389.html and got SheStang running......She cranked right up after sitting for the past few months!! In my foolhardy excitement, I decided to take her out for a spin...... I got down the road a bit, kinda on the outskirts of town getting close to the boonies.....decided to make a left turn and go further into the woods. Sitting at the light, I realized my radiator was steaming.... ARRrrrRrRrGgggHHhHhhhhhhhHhhhhHhhhhh!!!! I shoulda known better!!!! She had not been driven since we put that radiator in!!!!! ARRrrrRrRrGgggHHhHhhhhhhhHhhhhHhhhhh!!!! I pull into a school lot and figured I could turn around and at least get to a station about 1/2 mile away. Nope....ain't gonna happen....she just died on me!!! ARRrrrRrRrGgggHHhHhhhhhhhHhhhhHhhhhh!!!! Then I see that battery is DEAD on my CELL PHONE! ARRrrrRrRrGgggHHhHhhhhhhhHhhhhHhhhhh!!!! I get out and pop the hood to let Her cool down. Mind you, it is hot and muggy and I am in my grubbies....tee-shirt, shorts and sandles..... These two young soldiers go by in a Jeep and make an immediately U-Turn and ask me if I need help. I told them I could use some water in a few minutes and they went to the store and got some for me. They waited with me awhile for Her to cool down, put the water in and I went to crank her up..... NUTHIN!!!!! The one says, "it's your battery".... No, I say....that's what we were just working on...but it could be that cylinoid switch. He looked at me kinda funny and agreed, but also thought my ground connector should be changed. Well, Hubby and I had discussed just that only an hour or so before. So, we took the battery out and they gave me a ride to the parts store (o.k., in hindsight, maybe this wasn't to smart, but what else was I gonna do?). The battery checked out fine. I purchased a new cylinoid and ground, used the phone at the store to call home and headed back to my car. In route, it started to rain! Lucky for me this guy had everything he needed with him. He put in the new switch and ground in no time! I'm standing there and told him, "I can help ya, ya know"...He said, "no, just stand there and look cute" and I'm thinking....tee shirt......rain.............uh huh Thank goodness for Chilvary!! Today is definate proof that it still lives...... ------------------ The MOST Conservative Grrl 1970 Mustang Coupe, the SheStang 1994 Mustang GT Convertible, canary yellow, the Queen Bee Mustangsandmore.com Member #142 Express Yourself!!!

I just wanted to mention that you should NEVER add cool water to a warm/hot engine that isn't running. The temperature change can crack things in seconds. They did sound like great guys, changing parts for you while you stood there in the rain in your t-shirt... I'd have done the same... ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1, '72 Mustang Sprint, '94 F-150 Pics MCA Member # 47773 IP: Logged
Ked Moderator Posts: 7499 From: Hot Hills o' Sand, N.C. Registered: Jul 99	posted 07-15-2002 07:47 PM We didn't Steve. We waited a good half hour forty-five minutes before we added the water...... I've no doubt any of you guys would of done the same thing!!! Unfortunately, I did not have any ice pops with me..... IP: Logged
