Here are some more information for Alternator Fan Chevrolet:

You know the scene. You walk to your car, open the door, climb in, and insert your keys into the ignition. Click, click, click, click. Nothing. You whisper a prayer, "Please, God, make it start this time." Click, click, click, click. Nothing. You glance at the fuel gage. Half a tank left. You glance at the headlights. Grrrrr! You left them on. Your battery is dead. You need a boost, a.k.a. a jump-start, to get you moving.

Fortunately for you, this is not a major car repair. But it is a repair of sorts that should never be taken lightly. The smart driver will know that this day is bound to come at some time or another and will be already prepared with a set of high quality booster cables that are at least fifteen feet long, so they will easily be able to reach from the boosting car's battery to the dead battery.

Before starting the boosting procedure, turn off all accessories on both vehicles such as the headlights, radio, air conditioner, windshield wipers, et cetera. This will help prevent any power surges that could affect these items, but more importantly, it will keep these accessories from consuming more available power than the alternator is producing while the engine is idling. You should leave the boosting vehicle at an idle.

When you look under the hood of each car, you will locate the battery by looking for a plastic bright red cap or post labeled with a "+" sign. Close by, you will also see a black post or cap labeled with a "-" sign. Lift up any post-covering caps, and inspect all battery posts to make sure they do not have loose, dirty, or corroded connections. If they are loose, tighten them the best that you can and then get them completely tightened as soon as you are able to prevent future discharging of the battery. If they are dirty, you can wipe them with a rag. If there is corrosion, then you can pour an acidic drink such as soda water or a carbonated beverage over the post.

Now it is time to start connecting the cables to the posts. In order to ensure maximum safety, you should be careful to always put the cables on and take them off in a very specific order. IMPORTANT! Once you start making the connections, never let the ends of the cables touch each other or any other unintended metal. Many batteries have full plastic handles used for lifting them. You can opt to carefully attach the cable ends to the plastic handle to prevent accidentally touching any unintended metal.

STEP ONE

Attach the red, positive + cable to the post of the DEAD BATTERY! A good way to remember which goes first is by remembering this rhyme: Red to dead.

STEP TWO

Attach the other end's red, positive + cable to the post of the BOOSTING BATTERY.

STEP THREE

Attach the black, negative " - " cable to the post of the BOOSTING BATTERY. If the boosting vehicle's battery does not have an exposed negative " - " battery post, then connect the cable clamp to an unpainted piece of metal eighteen inches away from the battery. (The engine block is usually a safe alternative.)

Be very careful not to allow the cable or the clamp to come in close contact with any moving parts such as the radiator fan or any of the belts.

STEP FOUR

Attach the black, negative " - " cable to an unpainted piece of metal eighteen inches away from the DEAD BATTERY. (Again, the engine block is usually a safe alternative.) If all cables are properly connected, this final negative cable should produce a slight spark. If it doesn't, go back and check the connections of each clamp.

It is important to ensure that neither the cable nor the clamp come in close contact with any moving parts such as the radiator fan or any of the belts.

STEP FIVE

Rev the engine of the boosting battery to 2000 RPM and hold it for two minutes. (This step may not be necessary, but it is helpful for speeding up the charging of an especially discharged battery.)

STEP SIX

Attempt to crank the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery. If it does not start, wait an additional two to four minutes before trying again.

STEP SEVEN

Once the car is started, remove the cables in the reverse order of how you put them on. First, you will remove the black, negative clamp from the previously dead vehicle. Second, you will remove the black, negative clamp from the boosting vehicle. Third, you will remove the red, positive clamp from the boosting vehicle. Fourth, you will remove the red, positive clamp from the previously dead vehicle.

STEP EIGHT

Run the newly boosted vehicle for a minimum of fifteen minutes to adequately recharge the battery before turning it off.

Now that you are an expert vehicle booster, keep your eyes out for other stranded motorists. They will be so grateful!

Though they began in very small quantities, they have risen in popularity and consumer demand so intensely that they are not marketed in various different makes and models. As more automotive manufacturers enter into this market, consumers are finding their favorite models available as a hybrid.

Hybrid vehicles were first introduced as small cars that were not really all that efficient. They were very small cars that many had little interest in. Auto makers have invested plenty of time and money into perfecting hybrids so that they can be a realistic vehicle option. Hybrids now come as cars, trucks and SUVs. There are various makes for sale so comparing them all is very important if you are interested in purchasing one. Whereas just a few years ago hybrids were very limited in selection, there is now something for everybody.

Fans of smaller, economy sized cars will find more hybrid options to choose from then they will ever need. Sedans seem to have more hybrid options than any other type of vehicle. The Toyota Prius is one of the leading hybrids currently. For a small car it is relatively spacious and gets up to 46 mpg. Honda Civic and Volkswagen Jetta also come in a hybrid version. Chevrolet offers the Malibu to its hybrid seeking consumers as does Ford Focus. If you have a personal preference then it's probably a safe bet that your favorite manufacturer has a hybrid for you.

For a while it seemed that pickup trucks would never be seen as a hybrid. However, after many years of work you can now buy a big Dodge Ram, Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra. Big trucks are often required for work and they are needed to be heavy duty. Hybrid options are no less tough or sturdy but they are better on the wallet. These trucks average 21 mpg.

SUVS have been very popular ever since their debut. It seems that almost every family has a SUV of one kind or another. Hybrid SUVs are just as readily available and now found just as often on the street. From the well known Ford Escape to the Cadillac Escalade, SUV hybrids are among the latest trend in popular green vehicle alternatives. They also average around 21 mpg.

If you are seeking out the right hybrid vehicle for you, be sure to take notes and compare various makes and models. They are not all the same despite being hybrids. That may be the only thing that some of them have in common. You might also want to look into tax rewards. Some governments will reward hybrid owners with a tax break simply for choosing a green vehicle. Get all of the facts regarding hybrid manufacturers so that you can make an educated choice.
