I knew my starter was on it’s last leg but geeeez. Granted, I procrastinated replacing it until today. But I finally called a retailer and ordered a brand spankin’ new Mean Green starter this afternoon at about 1:25 PM, they said they would get it from the distributor and have it ready for me by tomorrow morning. Around 1:45 PM, I call from a Kinko’s and tell them I would really like it today since my starter is on its last leg (even though I really believed it would be okay for at least a few more days). Nevertheless, I made arrangements to pick it up directly from the distributor in about an hour. At about 2:00 PM, I leave Kinko’s to pick up my new starter. I get in my Jeep, turn the key and I get “rararara….vroooomâ€. But wait…I forgot to unlock my center console which houses my stereo so I can play some tunes. I turn off the Jeep, unlock the Tuffy, try to re-crank and I get a “rrra…raaar…errmphâ€. That was it, my starter had finally kicked the bucket for good…and all I needed was a couple more starts.
I can’t complain too much since it coulda been worse. I wasn't far away and it was a nice day out...even if a little cool. I called a courier to pick the starter up and bring the starter to me, learned how to roll-start my jeep so I could get it home and replace the starter. Now my spankin’ brand new Mean Green starter is in so I turn the key and get the familiar “vroooomâ€. The new starter sounds funny but I'll get used to it. It's just funny that the old one finally completely died on the LAST crank that I needed to pick up the new one so I could replace it. Go figure.
