Need help with jump starting 06..

Well it finally happened.. went to start this afternoon and got the machine gun sound. Where is the best place to attach the ground clamp? I did a search but couldn't find anything on this topic. Sorry if its been covered before.

Anything bare metal.

I think I jumped mine off the fuel rail, but like steve said any available piece of metal is good. Although not recommend there is also the negative post, but chances of a battery explosion increase.

What steve said, or somewhere on the block itself, just need a good ground.

The "ear" of the T-stat housing is recommended ground.

I would charge the battery first to protect the alternator from high power loads to charge.

That's where I recommend. But as stated, any bare metal works fine.

[rosco]

just get any teenage kid to sit in the car and work the clutch and push start it. you will get it back in a couple days with the battery fully charged. maybe.
