Merry Xmas Me!

[Big T]

Laid up after ankle surgery and bored out of my mind. Overdose of football. Too much stress watching Iron Chef. So I did some online shopping. Now I just need someone to come over and install while I watch with my handicap placard on display.

Just ankle surgery? Come on now, I pulled the trans out of my jeep years back to do my clutch after hip surgery. I had to work on the ground anyways, so it was just some extra crawling. Then of course was the fun of pushing in a clutch on a bad hip that was only 50 lbs weight bearing(thank God for modern hydraulic clutches).

Nice buy.
Are You singing Merry Christmas to Meeee, Merry Christmas to Meee. Sorta goes the the tune of happy burfday.

No weight on it for 6 weeks. Torn peroneas brevus tendon. Could not be repaired, so transferred to the adjacent peroneas largus tendon. Figure I have one shot at this, so I don’t want to F it up. So far, pretty good.

Do take it easy on that ankle. Having been diagnosed with chronically sprained ankles since I was 28, follow the Dr's orders and do your PT. Starter can wait.

Yes you need to stay off it. That starter will wait. If you really feel the need to do something else starter related, have the wifey bring a hacksaw to trim the positive post down so it won’t hit the block. Just wedge the starter between the couch cushions.

If that still is not enough, you can have one drop shipped to me- haha.

Where did ya get it and what was the price??

Get well Will

Summit Racing. $319, no tax no shipping. There are lower prices like $299, but when you add tax and license, they become higher. Delivery came on a Sunday, go figure.

I have this overwhelming urge to just walk on it, but that is how I got there in the first place.

 

[3500GMC]

Get well Will

Oops, Get well Big T.. I meant. Long day geesh

 

[Will L.]

LOL

Get well Big T, let it heal.

Shoot, tell that son to come switch out the starter so he knows what to do for his- haha.

That`ll get him used to the dreaded angle support bracket. LOL

Son has already replaced two starters, so I will definitely draw on his experience. However, he is busy with the two little ones ages 1 and 3.5.

 

[MrMarty51]

I could not imagine trying to keep up with childrens that young. Bad enough staying in step with the older grandchildrens. LOL

 

[Husker6.5]

Probably at the local hospital and the price depends on what his insurance covers. Oh, oh! The starter, not his ankle. Never mind!

I put mine in on the weekend. H- cow it works good. You will feel scared something is wrong as the engine just fires after a .5 second howl/screech of the starter.
