Yesterday after the rain stopped and the ground dried enough to not be soup any more I tried to jump start it with my Dakota. It would start to turn over, but obviously I don't have enough alternator on that 3.7L v6 to do enough good.
I've heard other folks have had alternator problems with their 2810 & 3510's, but never with this few of hours (had it 6 months, under 60 hours on the meter)
any advice or suggestions other than "buy a battery charger and see how long it'll go this time"?
thanks! |
I have heard of alternator problems as a key concern on these TYM made tractors, although I never had such a problem on my 2005 3510. It sounds like you are still under warranty and this is a quick and painless fix. I'd charge it up and get it to the dealer as soon as possible.
