    I hooked up my CUCV alternator wires backwards and now my truck won't start. Help!

    I soldered the Fusible links together but plan on getting clamps at Napa later. The links did their job and surely saved lots of component damage on the CUCV.

    Amanda in Mechanicsburg GL Amanda came to the front gate to give my dad's truck a jump when his car died. I buy stuff there at least once a month and I am always pleased with her service and how accommodating she is. In a day when customer service is lacking everywhere, it is good to see when...
