Starting modern jeep question

Bummer! And here I was thinking the '95 would start like the '43.

Yes. Same for having a dead battery in there, you are screwed.

Even in my old 86 it won't start with a push and no battery because the alternator won't turn on with no power. It has to have a few volts in there to get the alternator field active. The new ones have to turn on a computer to turn on the alternator.

Push starting with no battery went out with the generator vehicles and maybe some first generation alternators. They all need batteries of some sort in there now.

Earle, you are out of phase with the rest of the world by an hour ahead. Either your PC clock is off or the time zone is.

I keep reading replies to your posts before I see your posts...

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep this in mind now, not be so confident about being able to start.

This is true of any "modern" vehicle with an alternator based charging system, made since 1960 or so. Bill, Matt or Mike might be old enough to give the exact year.

Your post just showed up at 1:21 and it is still only 1:00 here.

How is your time zone?

My PC is spot on. Maybe there is a bug in the "solution" that Microsoft distributed for the problem of our goverment screwing with Daylight Savings Time. It is 10:18 Mountain Daylight Time right now in Albuquerque.

Earl, -7 is MST. We are on MDT, at least in SE Colo., now. The headers show that the qwest nntp server is getting your post one hour after you post it.

There is a gotcha > Microsoft distributed an application to allow us to manually edit the

Well, you are an hour ahead of yourself, just look at the newsgroup time tag on this post. It says 2:20 here and it is only 1:50 still. Your local one should show the time off too with this post of mine showing a half hour earlier than yours....

Mike

Earle Hort> Microsoft distributed an application to allow us to manually edit the

Microsoft distributed an application to allow us to manually edit the characteristics of the time zone, to "fix" the problems created when our government changed the start and end dates. I have set MDT to start the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. We are in GMT - 07:00.

Earle

I recently abandoned ship and went to Linux. Without you there microcrap was just no good at all...

How could they screw up something so simple in principle? Oh yeah, I forgot. What do I do now?

Thanks.

Earle

As you know, Microsoft went all to hell after I quit working for them. They sucked while I was there, but now they have gone all to hell. A temporary fix is that I am going to spend two days at my other house now, and if what Will says is right, that computer is OK.

Earle

Simple way to do it: make sure the hotfix for time is applied. Reboot and either use the BIOS to set the date to BEFORE the time change. Boot. If you have the network time sync running, it will fix the date and time catching the DST crap up as it does. If you don't use the network time sync, just change the date to the current date and it should make the time change for you and get you in sync. That's what it should do. What MS thinks it should do is an open question I just noted that the wife's laptop is all messed up and it was running with the fixes! XP Media Ed. Let us know how you make out - I may need some MS advice since I almost never run it.

Hi Earle, True, it'll pop the diode from any car with an alternator. And fifties was the last of the rear pump automatic, so they're added to the list. God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

Will,

Your post shows up here as having been posted at 10:13 PM, but I think you actually posted it at 11:13 PM.

Heh.

Earle

Uh huh. Reading the full headers, my post comes back here with: Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:13:10 -0600

Yours omes in as: Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:28:07 -0700

The -0600 is the UTC offset my computer attaches, the -0700 is attached by yours uses for your offset. Now, I know Sliverton is in a world of it's own but we should at least be in the same time zone! Or has one of us been listening to Coast-to-Coast radio too long? (Dang, I miss Art Bell on these late nights!)

Sounds good to me:
