Hey all,

The past week or two, my Jimmy is slow to crank when starting. I thought perhaps the battery was on it's way out, or the Alternator. A few days ago, I started the truck, and my Radio is locked on me, which indicates to me, the truck was without power a while, correct?

Then today, it completely died on me on the Highway. I managed to turn on the Hazard lights, and pull over. Those were running, as was my clock (still showing locked). I went to power down my driver's window to speak with the Police officer (who saw me pull over) and it wouldn't work. The other 3 worked fine however.

Towed the truck to the shop, and initially the Mechanic couldn't get it to turn over. He claims the battery was dead, but this could have been because of the Hazard lights being on the entire time. He says he boosted it and checked for spark, which there was. He still couldn't get it to turn over, so he added fuel, and apparently it caught and is now testing fine. He wants to replace the fuel filter.

He wants to replace the fuel filter at $250.00 CDN, but in my mind, this doesn't sit right. Doesn't explain my rough starts, the radio becoming locked or the fact that my drivers window wouldn't operate after it died.

Anyone??
