Just watch out for that roadsalt!  I know you don't see that much either,
but all it takes is getting it on the car once, and bits of it are in the
seams seemingly forever!

I'm afraid that is the least of my problems now never made that far. Plus
they only have a limited amount of rock salt man power and equipment to do
that down here since it doesn't happen very often. They usually only do
bridges, over passes and roads that go up and down the little ridges and
mountains around here none of which I was planning on going over.
Unfortunately she only ran about 60 seconds in this 9 degree weather before
what I think tried to spin a main. The one by the flywheel I guess. I don't
get it I've put 300 miles and everything has been fine. I even drove her on
a 100 mile round trip Friday and was so proud how she done.  Engine is very
tight especially after you budget it a small amount.  I hope I'm wrong got
to look at it some more once I can get it over at the school.  If this is
what happened then what could I have done wrong? Was it the 15W40 diesel oil
at this or could I have done something wrong during assembly? I've had a
sick feeling all evening.
