The glowplug switch got kicked on again....
Called AAA, they send an old fart with a p*ssy little jump box charged to 11v, after that failed we use MY jumper cables to connect to his truck, he hooks it to the circuit box's 4ga wire, doesn't work (obviously), I ask him about using the big red jump terminal on the battery box, "It doesn't work", he then leaves to "get something" from autozone and he returns with a can of ether! I stop him before he can blow up my engine, "don't worry, we use it on our trucks all the time and they have glowplugs", I say "um, cummins engines don't have glowplugs...". At that point I tell him thanks for "trying", he interrupts "I've been doing this for 20 years!", I reply "yeah, you've never had ether blow out a headgasket or backfire in your face when it hits the glowplugs have you? Thanks for trying to start my car, were done here."
Now I have to wait an hour and a half for autozoo to charge my battery.
