I did that to a trailer mounted pump I was servicing. Backed it into our smaller bay and hit one of the lift pads with the sidewall of a 15 year old tire. Done.

did that to a 285/75r16 BFG AT a few months ago  I accidentally backed up over an engine block, though, it wasn't a lift. Swear I'd backed up right by that engine a hundred times without hitting it, and then smacked it good and hard that one time.

Holy gently caress! Did the rotor completely separate from the hat all the way around? Edit: You edited out the first two. Now I'm confused slightly

The brake pads were rusted solid into the support brackets, so the pedal felt decent but it was terrifying trying to stop even at slow speeds. Maker Of Shoes posted:Holy gently caress! Did the rotor completely separate from the hat all the way around? The rotor came off in one piece, that's just the way it's cast. The first 2 pics were of the same rotor, but with the flash turned on, which I felt concealed most of the ugliness:

Seat Safety Switch posted:How does that even happen? Seriously hosed tranny cooler? Lots of GMs back in the day had a coolant bath transmission cooler (read: a radiator for the ATF inside of the regular radiator). Treat your DexCool according to the "lifetime" claims of the time and watch it start eating through the inner trans cooler after it turned acidic and that's what happens. And as I've mentioned many times before.....GM got sued over that "DexCool is lifetime" claim and it doesn't say that anymore. It was based on this poo poo and eating head gaskets and all the other things that left-in-tool-long-now-turned-acidic-coolant does to motors and cooling systems. The best part about the trans cooler failures was that it would push ATF into the cooling system when cold and running and then push coolant into the trans circuit when off and hot. So you got it both ways depending on which one was higher pressure at the time.

I never saw any real failures due to trans fluid in the cooling system, it just got really gross and sludgy, but coolant in the trans is an almost instant death sentence. I think the best I ever saw was some guy with an old ford crown vic that came into the quicklube I worked at. His power steering was whining and rattling horribly at a touch of the wheel, and he asked if I could take a couple minutes and see if I could figure out why. It wasn't difficult, in fact I found out during my usual fluid level checks - the power steering fluid reservoir was 95% full of coolant, with only a very thin layer of ATF on top of it I noted it on the receipt to cover our asses, informed him and told him he'd probably need a total system replacement in the near future, but that I could try flushing it out mostly by sucking the reservoir dry, then filling it with ATF and repeating this several times with the system running. Surprisingly the pump sounded better cavitating with no fluid in it than with coolant in it, and a lot better mostly purged and filled with ATF, the operation was mostly a success, and the PS system lasted for at least another 6 months, as I saw it again when he came back. I left the shop to go to college and never saw it again, but it was running smooth and fairly quiet the last time I saw it.I'd really like to find out who thought it was a good idea to put coolant in the power steering reservoir - didn't see any way it could get in there through mechanical failure, the car didn't have a power steering cooler in the radiator or anything that I could see.

Not just GM either, my 91 Integra had the same setup, as does mom's 03 Toyota, and my 99 Altima would if it had a slushbox. The M/T radiators are difficult to find for my car, when mine finally goes I'll probably toss the A/T version in and leave the ATF ports capped. e: Friend's 05 Kia also uses the same setup.

All Jeeps I've ever seen are built like that too. Even the ones with an auxiliary cooler for towing still have the in-radiator cooler in the loop, in fact "radiator cooler or aux cooler first?" is basically a religious debate on jeep forums, with everyone sure they're right and no one agreeing. e: I had a vehicle come to me with coolant in the washer fluid reservoir once. And some guy tried to get us to put 75W140 diff lube in his engine "because the bearings are kinda worn and it'll keep it alive a bit longer." Yeah, we turned that one down.

I used to run 60 (single weight) oil in my F-150. With 10w30 or 20w50 the oil gauge showed about 5-10 psi cruising and poured out of the engine like water. With 60 it would get up to about 20 psi while cruising, about 5 at idle (but twitched in time to a mild rod knock). Drove it like that for about 4 years - I called it my rolling superfund site.I don't think you can even find straight 60 anymore, can you?

Fucknag posted:Run them in parallel. Depends on the climate, really. Most owners that live in hotter regions will usually bypass the radiator cooler (heat exchanger, actually) altogether while colder regions keep it in the loop to help heat up the trans fluid. I ditched my stock cooler, bypassed the radiator in put in a large aluminum B&M stacked plate type.

Yeah, for a while Suburbans had a fantastic radiator that was for coolant, an oil cooler and ATF warmer. First change for anyone towing anything was to put in an external ATF cooler and not use the multiplexed radiator for the tranny.
