So yeah, my truck wasn't working for nearly two months so I decided to join a Dodge forum.

This is what happened today after advice I got here...

(this is just the last post, but it's pretty crazy.)

So I took the advice, and used starter fluid. And lots of it at that. And here is my story for the week.

So let's start this story yesterday... I was talking to my friend Jill and said "you know, maybe if a pretty girl was there it would start". Just to get her to want to come over.

So this morning me and Jill were hanging out, and I decided that I could just tear it down a little bit to show her what things were and how things worked.

So I decided to take off the A/C since there is one spark plug behind that I was going to show her, so I took the fan belt off, and took off the A/C.

Put that back together, but I forgot to tighten the bolts to the A/C to the rest of the engine. So then she was like "can I try to start it?" So of course I said yes, and I sprayed some of the starter fluid into the throttle body.. Well, I sprayed a lot of it in. Then I get in the truck and demonstrate without turning it over. (she doesn't know how to work a clutch) Then I put it in neutral and let her hop in.

So then I started to spray in fluid while she turned it over. It instantly started up and at that point she put it in gear for no real reason other than to scare the **** out of me when she decided that dropping the clutch was a good idea. Then the fan belt flew off.

So then I was amazed that it worked so well since I only expected a few seconds at most but it had gone for a good ten, maybe fifteen seconds before she stalled.

At this point she gets out of the car locks the door and she is scared that the car moved at all. Completely forgetting to get the keys before she did. So we sat on the curb for an hour waiting for my aunt to come because she had a key for some reason. Then we put on the fan belt, tightened the A/C, then continued.

So I hopped in the car and turned it over with her spraying and again it simply turned over.

Then once more with no one spraying and still it turned over fine.

Took it around the block and it worked extremely smooth.

Moral of this story?

Dakota's are boys. They have a huge ego, and all you really have to do to fix any problem is have a pretty girl there. There is no way that any guy could stand the embarrassment of not being ready to go when a girl wants to, and because of this, there is nothing that can't be fixed by this simple addition.

I have no idea what was wrong. I have no idea how I fixed it. It works now, and I have no complaints.

 

LMAO!!!!!!

Maybe I should try and figure out my II's exhaust with a woman present

 

And where would you find a woman?

 

You clearly haven't been aquainted with my fan club

Did I ever tell you that story Pete? T'was a rather eventful day lol

 

So you have all the gay men this side of the Mississippi. I'm still wondering where the women come in...

 

I swear to god peter, one of these days I'm just gonna shoot your kneecaps

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

You know, if you do, though. Then I could have that whole empathy thing again, and then yet again I will have all the women, while you have, well you have that fan club we were talking about..

I can picture it now *on gay accent* oh muh gawd arunnnnn you er lak thow cul fer shootin dat *ewwwwww* stret guy en teh knez...

 

I wasn't aware that I needed much help "sleeping". Not that you'd understand a grown up concept like that

 

die!

 

I'm sure your club wears you down enough so that you are exhausted and need no help, forgive me for my previous post.

And as for dieing, I'd much rather poke fun about your club since you made this so easy.

 

I take it back. My last post is now directed at myself

 

haha, back to the topic at hand. Not that there have been any comments about the actual fixing to speak of, but between Jill locking the keys in the car, and my aunt dropping off the second set... she yelled at me part of which said "WHY DON'T YOU JUST WEAR A T-SHIRT THAT SAYS JILL LOCKED MY KEYS IN MY TRUCK!?" since I was making fun of her quite a bit... and now.

haha, I'll post pics in a sec

 

Just to bug her...

 

LMAO!
(again)

Well done

 

I'm glad you agree. I still need to work on the picture on the back. Then make her one that says "Yes, I did lock Peter's keys in his truck because I'm a meanie head"

That'll teach her.

 

 

And now it's not working again...

Wish me luck...

 

good luck
