Write the book. I’ll read it, sounds interesting. Title proposal: “September Miseries”?

Should it become a PBS tv serial , “September Miseries Miniseries” 😉 Try saying that 3 times fast.

Glad you are back on the road w/a good alternator.

Could be a problem with the evap vent valve and/or the fresh air intake for the evap system

glad to hear the Jeep’s charging system problems are over

I have been to Sedona and I didn’t think there were Chrysler/Jeep dealers near there but there are two, Oxendale and Flagstaff.

Your car is old so any shop can repair it, you don’t have to pay dealer prices. A Mopar new alternator is $330-370, labor is 2.9 hours, plus shop supplies, tax and free shuttle rides it would cost well over $700. Those dealers are small, they may not have an alternator in stock so you may have to wait overnight for an alternator to be shipped from the Phoenix warehouse, that means spending the night in a hotel.
