unicorndukeI got up this morning and decided to grab some groceries. Went and tried to start my truck, engine turned over and then it wouldn't start. womp womp. I grabbed F's jump pack (I had asked to borrow hers for the trip down to my parents since I wasn't 100% sure my truck would make it), hooked it up and it started right up! So that meant the starter was fine and given I'd been driving around, probably the alternator was fine. I thought about it and decided to call my garage and see if they could fit me in. They're really really good and they got me in at 9. I was hesitant to go to autozone and I could have done it myself but like, I don't need to, I will pay someone to do it. Especially because the batteries tend to be around $200, so I'm happy to pay for someone else to do it really well.
I sat and read a book, they had it all replaced in a half hour and it only cost me $240 for a new battery. They said my old one had a good run but the super cold would really kill an older battery. So I'm pleased and now have a running truck.
