[QUOTE="Cobra-R, post: 4913028, member: 52"] Went down to MAM on Friday to run the afternoon and then run with Damian and findtheline on saturday. My goal was to shake the race car down and make sure everything is ok before the first race in three weeks. On the track for my fourth session and started smelling coolant, just as I pulled up to my trailer steam came out and there was water running out from the timing cover, behind the water pump. It really is not a big deal, more than I could fix at the track so I packed it up and decided to head to the hotel for a good nights sleep before I head home. Left Council Bluffs at 5:30 am for home with my 7 year old daughter. About 50 miles before the Minnesota border, I saw the generator door blowing open. I pulled off and the lock had broken. No big deal, easy fix.......when I get home. Got back on the road within a few minutes and just as we got into Minnesota we heard a huge bang. I pulled over and looked everything over, couldn't find anything wrong so I decided to take off again. As soon as I put the truck in drive and started to move I knew something was very very wrong with the truck. With the throttle to the floor, the truck would only go about 45 mph. Feels like either the tranny is slipping or the engine is in a limp mode. No warning lights and tranny temp was still ok, so it is only speculation on my part at this point. Thanks to Dave and Steve from Carriage House Customs for borrowing me their Chevy to come pull the trailer home. The F'en King Ranch is sitting at the Ford dealer once again. Sure love owning a Ford Super Duty again. lol What a way to start the season. Brian [/QUOTE]
