which is why ima run to get a starter manana, i hope this is the problem, even though ima have to spend 60 some bucks, i jus wanna ride my jeep.

$60 aint much even if it doesnt fix it... heck if it dont take it back out and take it back... just clean it real well and try not to get it dirty... lol... just tell them your dad or someone had it going when you got home... i worked at autozone and i didnt really care that much as long as it wasnt nasty... find someone who looks like they dont care... lol... ive pulled starters off the shelf that someone had returned and never looked inside... was old as dirt and nasty starters... sometimes they are just to busy to look in every box... i also was a nissan tech... and a FA-18 mechanic so im not real stupid... but im not always right either... lol

chelada doesnt taste like a beer version of orchata does it? lol... sounds like it... lol

lol... cracks me up... u sound (type) just like him... he always called himself a beaner too... we would pass by a mexican in a like a f150 with all kinds of steps and stickers and tail lights and all that mess over it... and he would look at me with the straightest face and say "stupid beaners"... joker would crack me up... he changed his dang number so i just myspaced him giving him crap... and found out hes about to have a little girl... and i think with his ex-wife from what it looks like... im gonna give him so much crap... lol... if everyone in el paso is like him then i wanna come visit... lol

hes the one that got me hooked on orchatas... but then i got out of the marines and came home and none of the mexican restraunts even know what it is... sucks... there fake... lol... the quik trip (gas station) bout 25 minutes from me has a orchata slushy machine though!! lol

just to throw my Jeep in the mix, its a 91 AX15 5spd. PO did all kinds of wonky stuff to it, but it'll start with the clutch out. my 91 Toyota Tercel has a clutch switch and won't start without the clutch in.
