Guess I've been lucky for the last 50 years. I never had one spike enough to hurt the electrical system or a battery blow up either. But we must listen to the "experts".




sometimes the damage isnt obvious or immediately apparent.

I dumped alot of Freon into the atmosphere too, but I never saw anything happen

As for the blown up battery, tell that to the guy at the garage down the road from me with one eye. It does happen.

But theres no need to be cranky about it, just accept the new found knowledge and move on. The day a mechanic stops learning is the day they are no longer a mechanic.

Keep an open mind, and aim to learn, cause it never stops.

the guy who started this thread sought knowledge, now he has some.
