Good Mornin' BD, Yes, you are correct and I am well aware of the cautionary notes in the owner's manual. Further, I have most all of their service manuals committed to memory. In addition, I have the certificates for attending every electrical course GM ever put out during the years 1967 thru 1998. This was required of me during those years as I was working for them then. Prior to going to work for GM in 1967, I was trained by our Uncle Sam and spent 5 years in the military working on the guidance systems of air-to-air guided missiles. During this time, the Raytheon Corporation of Saint Louis, who then later offered me a position with their company upon my discharge, provided me with further electrical training. But, I opted to go with GM. Also, I am a graduate of the Devry Institute of Technology. The upshot of all this self-congratulation is to tell you that I'll talk sparks to anyone at anytime, as I'm reasonably sure that I have a fair idea about the subject matter that I'm talking about. And quite frankly, a simple battery, an alternator and their interconnecting circuitry is just about as basic as it can get. That warning is placed in that manual for the exact reasons that I've already quoted. Leads can and sometimes do get mistakenly reversed by untrained service personnel. Use of jumper cables can sometimes mistakenly get the polarity reversed as well. (Read: the owner). When this happens, damage can occur just as the manual states. Manufactures try to protect owners from their own mistakes. These manuals are not a crash course on electrical theory by any means. Some will say that hot-swapping is damaging. Sorry, you might convince others of this nonsense, but I know better. Just ‘taint so; never was and never will be. I hate flying my own flag, I am not trying to be argumentative, I am not trying to sound like a “know-it-all, & I hate posting these type of tirades, but when I know something is a falsehood, I’m gonna say so. This load of oats, which is currently being offered for sale, has already been run thru the horse. Regards to you and yours, Allan

Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
