ok i am holding an argument with someone right now (and ill leave them nameless for sake of embarassment on their part )

they are telling me if i drive all the way to kings island (a LONG ASS FUCKING DRIVE FOR ME) area w/o a working alternator that my car wont die because its running so it will hold a charge.

well i tell him...(yes its a him)
the only way you can hold a charge is w/ an alternator recharging the battery as u drive. my ignition takes battery juice.. as does the ecu as does many other things. and after 10 minutes or less of running without an alternator charging my battery, it will DIE, DEAD CAPUT on me.

so i am right correct? yes. i dont even need to ask. but i need them to see that im not pulling this out of my asshole.

that all made sense right?



o ya reason for the argument - me and my friend andrew were at my place and the alternator definitely doesnt come out w/o dropping the motor.. or at LEAST pulling out a cv shaft... so i was bitching about having to take it to a shop. and this person said they would do it. because i cant do that shit in my driveway.. last time i dropped the motor in that car i had a lift and engnie jack adn hoist...

Hold up...If your anything like my wife, she hears about 50% of what I have to say on a good day. Did he say you can't run without an alternator or you can drive forever without one as long as the motors running?
