She dies..

Electrical.. It will start if it's hooked to someone else.. I'm guessing alternator..

Am I allowed to use bad words here?

Called AAA to get towed to Manhattan, KS..

Tomorrow I will get it fixed..

[comethead]

Crap Mike...should be alright. throw an alternator and battery at it!

Good luck.

Dang Mike, that stinks- well thank the good Lord that it's something simple though! I'm totally impressed with the distance that you're covering!

[RCMike]

Alternator tested good on first blush.. Thinking voltage regulator.

[RCMike]
