Great job, Jim! It doesn't look like a fun job, and patience with inanimate objects is not my strong point, so kudos to you!

Thanks, Pal. Ya know... when I was finagling it out I heard this "crunch"... and I thought, "Great. I broke some sh** and that's another thing to fix". You know... brittle plastic. When I was removing the plastic cap that covers the alternator cable (accessed from the top of the engine) incorrectly I pulled on it and a few pieces of it went flying. Thus, I may abandon the cover... or find other means to secure it.

If ever again I have to remove it... it'll take me ~15 minutes. Takes longer to remove the carpet and engine covers. Install... probably around 30 minutes.

You could do it.! You've got patience. I mean, you have to. You know. Trump.

Have a great day!!!

Put it into hibernation and won't see it until March 23. Drove it 4700 miles since the beginning of April, about average over the past 5 years I've had it (2000S). No work needed but have had a couple intermittent CEL's for some sort of emissions issues which I get fixed along with installing a new AOS in the spring. Getting familiar with the Volvo XC70 with 254,000 miles (Thor) for the coming winter.
