    Aircraft batteries have posts on the sides that are close together. They are recessed but a buckle will fit. The weight of the battery will cause you to rest it against you body. The buckle will touch. George

    Huh, maybe I got lucky as nothing sparked when I did it. I grounded first (On my truck) by placing the negative cable on the negative post. Then I grounded my mom's SUV by placing the negative cable on its negative post. I then placed the positive on my mom's car, followed by the positive on my truck. No sparks or anything.

    About two minutes later my battery gauge rose back to 'normal' levels and my truck started. I left the batteries connected for about thirty seconds and then I disconnected them in reverse order (positive off first from my mom's follow by the negative, making sure neither cable touched the other or the car. I then did the same on my truck and home ward I went.

    We're all noobs at any time we start something we've never done before, hence forty years ago I knew better than wear that stupid looking rubber apron. My Chief could hardly contain himself laughing so hard. It is funny looking back on it and yes, I survived all the years.

    JUMPER CABLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


    A. CHECKING THE VEHICLE
    CHECK THAT:

    1. The two vehicles have the same battery voltage (6, 12 or 24 volts).
    2. The two vehicles are not touching.
    3. The ignition switches are off on both vehicles.
    4. The gears are in neutral or park on both vehicles.
    5. The hand brakes are set on both vehicles.
    B. ADDED PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATIONS.

    1. Be especially carful that the red clamps, on either end do not touch the black clamps.
    2. Before connecting, spread the clamps on both ends wide apart.
    3. Remember that Red symbolizes positive (+) and black symbolizes negative (-).
    4. Be careful to avoid moving parts such as belts and fan blades.
    5. Connection and disconnecting the booster cable to the batteries is extremely important. You are not connecting the cable to the battery correctly if it causes a large spark. Please carefully follow the steps in the exact sequence as outlined in the Section C.
    C. CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE CABLE.

    1. Connect one RED (+) clamp to the bad battery terminal post marked POSITIVE (+).
    2. Connect the other RED (+) to the good battery post marked POSITIVE (+).
    3. Connect the BLACK (-) clamp to the good battery marked NEGATIVE (-).
    4. Connect the other BLACK (-) clamp to a ground (metal frame, or engine block) of the vehicle with the bad battery.
    5. Turn on ignition of the vehicle with the bad battery and attemp to start the vehicle. If the vehicle does not start immediately, start the vehicle with the good battery. This will avoid excessive drain on the good battery.
    6. After the engine of the vehicle with the bad battery is running normally, disconnect the clamps in the reverse order (steps 4, 3, 2 1 above)

    Oops, hahaha my dad's method worked (my friend also told me the same method) but wasn't correct apparently. I will print off those instructions and put them in my truck's glove box for future reference. Thanks Ireland! :)

    Peace

    OK, so I did some email hunts today (on the aD forums) and am not sure what would be better, clicking the "Report" button as all of the post are three months old or less.

    Or just post the threads here in the complaint thread for Ireland and other mods frequenting this thread to take care of?

    Thanks again for doing that ddp. I tried to make sure the post dates where from Dec. 2006 at the latest.

    I was surprised how many where actually posted in the past two weeks, it seemed like almost all of them.

    Living Will

    Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her,

    "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and
    drink fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

    She got up, unplugged the TV and then threw out my beer.

    She's Such A Bitch......
