Nick, I think 2 or more jeep's without engine's could be classified as a "JEEPYARD"!! Cold weather is hard on everything ! :dead:

hey scott what does it sound like to you

That noise is bottem end, rod or main bearing's are gone !! you might as well start looking for a engine. I know if you have a 5.2 you can swap in a 5.9 with only changing the converter and flywheel. I swaped one out in my dodge a couple years ago. I think I found a complete 2002 5.9 with 75k for $650.00 at a mopar junkyard in KY ! http://www.car-part.com.

Nick, I know you have mentioned a 5.7 hemi swap or diesel, don't let a simple motor swap turn into a "WILD MAN" project unless you have DEEP POCKET'S and ALOT of time !! :JEEPIN:

Well sounds like I have a Toyota that is wrecked again
Just got a message from my wife and they hit a Deer near one of the Wildlife parks
Said it almost rolled and not driveable, had to be towed over 80 kilometers back to Arusha
So now waiting to see how bad.
They are all OK so that is good at least

Looks like 2013 is starting out rough for you though, hope things start shaping up for you.

Holy crap! Dryer starting making a bunch of noise, got up to check it out, pulled out clothes and see element glowing really really hot and THEN POOF! The element caught fire AS I WAS LOOKING AT IT :!:

Yanked out power cord ran to sink, grabbed a pot full of water (THANK GOD FOR DIRTY DISHES) and tossed it in the dryer. Got fire out, heart beat started to come back down and my nerves caught up to me and slammed right into me as what just happened hit me :shock:

Sitting right now about 2 feet from it, letting it cool down, got one heck of a mess to clean up and then going to tear the dryer apart to really clean the crap out of it. Really wild because I just cleaned out the vents and what I could get to with the vacuum just last weekend and even mentioned to the wife I really need to take it apart to do a very thorough cleaning of it. She convinced me not to really worry about it because it's going to get moth balled once we move. Just may happen sooner than later :roll:

THANK GOD truly, I keep weird hours and I got up to look at it when I did. Funny, sort of, I was thinking of going back to bed and try to get some sleep because my hours are going to be changing but something just told me to go look at it :shock:

I can't imagine nor want to think about what would of happened if I didn't. Oh man I am wide awake now for sure!
Big sigh....................

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

Sounds like the Big Man upstairs was taking care of you tonight Hart! Glad you were there to take care of it right away.

03CDKJ · **Posted:** Sat Jan 05, 2013 3:12 am

Tom, Sorry about the Yota.... glad everyones OK.

Hart.... You're very lucky! Could have been way worse~

Between the cold and all the bad news coming out of OHIO, I may just stay in NC for a while....

While hands still a lil shaky ! :-)r

Oh boy oh boy, the good Lord is for sure looking out for me and my family! I'll send him your way Tom :pepper:

I just tore apart the front of it to do a complete tear down, it's an upright style (stacked) and the main harness has a short in it right at the main connection! Burnt to all get out and it must of traveled through to the element :banghead:

Very fortunate! :pepper:

Here I come scrap yard with some metal for the crusher :roll:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Jan 05, 2013 7:51 am

Dryers scare the crap out of me. I never have one running if I'm asleep or not going to be there close by. Have heard of too many catching fire over the years
Glad you caught it Hart, so glad

Ya know I have always blown off what I have heard about that happening and have read that bunch of home fires have been caused by them. I have always kept them clean and figured it just wont happen to me :shock:

NEVER EVER again will I allow a dryer to be used when not home or awake. Scared the crap out of me and the weirdest thing it was just like POOOOOOOOOF instant fire. I can't imagine nor do I want to imagine what would of happened if I went back to bed :shock:

The good thing out of it is, I found 26 cents down in the bottom and maybe a freebie on Craigs list to tide me over for a spell :pepper:
