Talking My Blazer may have to quit hanging around with my buddy's GMC Syclone

Last week his starter went out....Today, mine went out.

Two months ago, his battery went flat...Last month, mine did...Both Optima redtops bought about the same time.

Other similar little things have been happening to each other trucks...

Very weird.

Happens!!
Seems like every time I work on the Bravadiva, something on SilverBird acts up.

Except coolant thermostats in BOTH started acting flaky at same time.

Hahah...I haven't had a problem with it before...The Blazer needed an alternator and I think that killed the battery. The Syclone has a decent system in it and wasn't driven a lot before he decided to daily drive it.

My Silhouette also has a redtop and no problems at all.
