Ok so if I was the biggest arse jerk in the world but could solve your problem, you wouldn’t listen to me?

Bingo

Don’t be an arse. Goes a long way and it’s not hard.

Wow. You really are a stupid fool.

My father once told me that I shouldn’t get mad at stupid people. Without people being stupid, the smart ones couldn’t make any money.

Your mechanic loves that you are stupid.

Whatever you do, whether you use any of the advice given or just keep taking it back to the shop, let us at least know if it gets resolved and what remedy worked.

There are some good shops out there, but there are more less reputable ones. And if they know you don’t know, advantage to less reputable shop. Just saying.

I will report back.

The weird thing is before I switched alternators, the beeping and charging message only came up when at a stop. Since changing, it only happens when driving.

Air fan is still blowing loud but not as loud as it was.

Yeah that’s nuts, and i imagine unrelated to each other.

Are you running your ac? Does it seem to put out cooler air than prior to recharge?

Yes I run the AC. It always blew cold. Might have not had the “bite” you’d want but since they topped the Freon it’s colder.

I read where you can turn the truck on but not all the way, flash the brights 5 times the pump the brakes 3 times and it resets the battery charge message. Haven’t done it yet but it seems odd

Free Advice Unwound Slow Drown:

You are crashing out over nothing. It’s a message board for crude jokes and toilet humor. Don’t immediately get into your feelings when the world doesn’t praise you like your single mother. Men do their jobs and move on. We do it because it has to be done not because we expect to be put on a pedestal.

You’re gonna eat beef today because a man like me is up at 3am to check on the first calf heifers. No thanks necessary and I don’t care if you’re grateful. I have no idea who eats the protein we raise.

Wow

No. You’re stupid for saying you wouldn’t use a solution that would solve your problem just because you don’t like the person giving it to you.

I never heard that quote so I did some research into what it means. While I do agree with it in general, it doesn’t apply here.

I don’t want to be your leader.
I don’t want anything from you.
I had empathy for your issue.
I genuinely wanted to help you.
I don’t want you to kiss my arse.

What’s inconceivable to me is your answer to my question that if you knew my solution could solve your problem but I was an a-hole, that you still wouldn’t use the solution.

Can you explain your reasoning why? Just because I’m an a-hole? That can’t be the only reason.

Here’s my philosophy to counter that quote . I don’t care if my doctor, lawyer, teacher, CPA, or dentist is the biggest a-hole in the world as long as they perform and get results. If I have an issue, I want it solved. Can they solve it or not? I don’t have to go to cocktail parties with them.

Thanks for the quote though. Explains a lot and I like to learn. Even from someone I don’t like anymore. See the difference?

Good advice. Yup. I guess I just want to help people here since I’m on here a lot and there’s a social connection.

No more help from me. Just crude jokes from now on. Enjoy them!

Respect to you for understanding and trying to do better.

Obviously you were upset because the SRS on a 2010 Ford F150 is making the beeps. The truck had two issues: alternator and the passenger seat sensor.

But who cares you don’t have to fix it or explain to a potential customer how electricity works. Lol

My 14 F150 was making the same noise. Thought the same as you, but it ended up being the water pump going out.

That was a crude joke. That’s how how you should take everything I say from now on.

Called the shop this morning and explained what’s still happening. Planning on taking it in after the holiday so they can look at wiring and connections.

UptownJoeBrown, I’m not mad you, brother nor do I hate you. I do appreciate your input. I read it all. There’s just no need to be so angry when people don’t throw roses at you for it. If I came off bad, I’m sorry. We are all here to have fun. So I’m sorry. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
