Well, let me start by saying when it's cold in Louisiana it's painfully cold. Something about the humid air just makes it unbearable. I have 3 pins, 5 screws and a brass plate and it sux. It's been cold and raining for over a week and it will be for another week. In that time I've failed to do some maintanance. I know better, I trade vehicles often. I haven't even done a full tuneup/flush on this one yet. I changed the oil and went back to factory spec, she started leaking like crazy. I forgot to keep checking it in all this cold and only checked my coolant when I got it. I've had moisture on the dipstick and suspected a head gasket or crack but never saw smoke at all and assumed it was condensation... So Im doing 70 with the music up and no heat (it had quit blowing hot when it got real cold) and go to take a turn and no powesteering! No power! So I throw it in neutral real quick and turn the key, sounds like a dead charging system. I roll into A lot and go to unhook my kintek hc2400 and smell smoke, like oil. Gauges are reading great, and had been all night. At one point at after a long idle the temp went up to about 2/3 in the margin but went back to center on the highway. So, I pop the hood and smokes everywhere. I pull the dipstick and it fries the oil as I'm pulling it out! The draw on the starter was the motor siezing up, not a dead batt! If it weren't for my kinetik I don't think it woulda even turned over. I bumped it a few times while it was cooling... During this my girlfriend got lost trying to bring me oil and coolant/water and got my parents truck stuck In somes tweekers yard in a trailer park trying to turn around. I had to walk like 2 miles and get her gas it and sling mud on me while I pushed it out. freakin sucked! So I topped her off and she fired up. Lifters tapped a minute and quit. I made it home, "meditated on it", and crashed. So, where do I go from here? Do I need to pull it down? Anybody wanna call me an idiot? Any links or tips? Thanks guys
Also, anybody have a good iPhone friendly image host?

Ok I'll check it out and subscribe! I've never had any problems with rock auto either, they save me a lot of money. I always end up spending more bc the prices are so good I can't pass it up. I wouldn't even have checked the belt and hoses if you wouldn't have said anything so thanks on that one too... I'll check out that cu1451 too. You guys actually make me feel like she's saveable. I was kinda in that "shock" stage. Thanks to all who have posted. I'm broke and broke up too and y'all are saving me time in the cold and money and you can't imagine how grateful I am
Yep! With four screws in my fibula and a 3" (looked like deck screw) thru the middle of my ankle thru my tibia and fibula that was supposed to "shear off and be ok" but they had to take it out bc it irritated my skin too bad cuz I'm skinny. I had kicked my foot completely off, only thing holding it on was skin. I ripped all of my ligaments, broke my fib in my calf and my tib in my ankle in a twisting fashion. Your ankle is ball and socket, I broke the socket three ways and the ball popped out 12mm. Yes, I had 1/2" of separation in my ankle. This was only 2 weeks after I finished therapy for my hand which had 3, 3-1/2" pins diagonally thru every bone in it. I lost over a year of my life bc of my anger, one of the many reasons they call me spaz lol
I'm only 22 and going down hill fast already so I spend my free time creating a sustainable "ecofarm" to live off of and hopefully support myself in 3 years. I don't know how long I'll last in the labor world. I'm not like most ppl my age. You grow up quick when your actions carry heavy consequences, most of my friends are dead or in jail and I live like an old hermit now lol
And thanks for the compliment, Glad you enjoyed it... Even with the poor sentence structure lol
