What the hell happened to that thing? Did that transfer case /transmission eat a loving extension cord? What is all that copper wire from?

First guess is: electromagnetic valve timing module. or: magneto? Is that a small engine?

Looks to me like an electrically controlled transfer case, the copper wire is from the magnetic sleeve that rams the hi/lo selector forward.

Looks like the Bug driver jammed on the brakes and make the nose dip when they collided. Oops. SIde note: I really, REALLY like the new Bugs. They have just a hint of 911 styling on the headlights.

At first I thought it was just untorqued lugs but maybe wheel bearing. Both of those are hard to ignore though. It looks like there's a rotor or something hanging out behind the wheel as well.

Yeah, the rotor/caliper is still in place. Maybe the studs aren't long enough for the custom rimzzz and so the nuts just backed off?

No pics because I was driving but I saw an 18 wheeler broken down on the interstate, tractor seemed to be listing ever so slightly to one side. Got closer and apparently an axle shaft decided it wanted to see the world, and took its two drive wheels along. Saw the drives/axle stub about 50yards down the road, just chilling in the median still bolted together. Luckily there was nobody else around when it failed, that could have really hosed up someone elses day.

General_Failure posted:Thought it was. Electronics have no place in a transfer case. The transfer case shift motor is bad enough. Yup, the kia sorento one is impossible. As soon as you touch it, it's hosed because the little tracking needles go out of alignment. It's strange because in comparison to transmissions and the like, a transfer case is an extremely simple device and making an electrically controlled one should be a doddle, yet they always suck.

A nice fat stepper motor with only 4 positions would be trivial to design, and would be able to produce the torque to operate a typical 2H/4H/N/4L shifter without any kind of reduction gearing.

Those are almost all fullfloat axles (i.e. spindle, inner and outer taper roller bearings, hub, brakes and wheels mount to hub, axleshaft passes through spindle and connects to hub also, the axleshaft only handles torque loading) so I would suspect either a broken spindle, improperly assembled spindle (outer bearing retention nuts backed off while driving) or horribly burnt bearings and a sudden catastrophic failure causing this.

Beat me to it. I have absolutely never seen anything other than a full float in a truck of that size. In fact, I've limped a few home with the axles strapped to the frame and rags in the gaping holes left due to various failures that left one rear still able to push and the other not so much. A few bolts and a good whack with a sledge and they pop right out. The only thing taking a hub off of a truck like this is a massive hub/bearing failure (or worse).

No pictures, but Sunday I was driving down I-75 south back to Atlanta, and ricer after ricer was heading up I-75 north towards Chattanooga. It was literally a parade of failed/damaged suspensions, Honda's burning oil, cars leaning at odd angles on a flat straight, and terrible rusted hoods and horrible paint jobs and neon plastidipped wheels.  What is wrong with people?

Most people yank the intake manifold to get to it, but you can get to it from below if you have skinny arms I was able to swap the knock sensor on my KA24 without pulling the manifold, and I dont have small hands or skinny arms. Think I used a wobbly extension and a grabber claw to hold the sensor.

We started pulling the engine apart on the wrecked Vette last night, after taking the valve covers off and finding broken rockers a week or so back. I think there may have been an issue with the #8 cylinder...

At this point maybe a head bolt... or like an accessory pulley or the oil filter or something. Other than that, I really don't think so. If there actually is anything worth saving, those parts would need to go to a machine shop or something and it's honestly not worth the cost/down time to the owner. He's got a roller and he's hunting for a 6.0L block - I'm trying to convince him to go with an LQ9 block over an aluminum LS2 block since he's running a poo poo ton of boost but he's apparently got a plan, which I'm not sure what it is, but it'll be good no matter what. This 383 LS1 lasted for almost 30k miles making between 650-850 rwhp, depending on what year it was and he's only brought it out to race and beat the poo poo out of it. The odd part is that it still started up and nothing sounded out of the ordinary at all except for a ticking sound, which we assumed was the broken rockers - I'm baffled as to how that didn't sound like a can of marbles getting smashed up. The F1a Procharger head unit was fine so he's keeping that, and most of the piping is ok. Soon we get to dig into the drive train and see what can be salvaged. From the outside it all looks good but uhhh... so did the motor.

Where did all the piston bits go? Crankcase and oil sump? I don't think I'd reuse the oil filter.

Yeah: into the parts bin, A/K/A the oil pan. It's amazing that you could not tell there was a problem. I windowed a 383 at 70MPH ('65 Plymouth Fury) and it sounded like the muffler fell off + a flapping flat tire. Very confusing sound quality, but loud as all hell. Car never slowed down, though.
