Not good things

  2. One of my most memorable times with my Dad was on a Thanksgiving day, when I was a teen back in the 80s. A woman from our church had her car break down near Iola KS. From the description she gave my Dad, he knew the wheel bearing went out. We drove out there with her car barely off the side of the road. We got the wheel off and sure enough the wheel bearing was mostly gone. The only thing remaining was the race and it was welded to the spindle. We took turns holding chisels and swinging hammers to cut it off. We got wind blown every time an 18 wheeler passed us. We even broke one chisel. Eventually we got it removed. We went into town to warm up and eat at a wonderful greasy spoon. Someone in that small town was good enough to give us a mill bastard, and we cleaned up the spindle. Amazing what good folks in a small town will do if you need a little help. Greased the bearing and put the whole thing back together and drove it home. I still have that cut race inside my tool box and think of Dad and our adventure, every time I see it.

  5. Looks like its out of blinker fluid. Chrysler invented the turbo encabulator to prevent this from being catastrophic.

  6. IMHO that it the glow of the drivetrain heated up to glowing just before it melts onto the pavement.
