If you follow me on Instagram at @n2trux you already know that my trip to the
RideTech photo shoot with Stephen Kim of
Wheel Hub magazine didnt go without incident. On the way to the shoot I heard a loud high pitched squeal. It went away immediately, and left me wondering what it was. I checked my gauges with no indication of concern coming from them. I listened carefully, and couldnt determine what had caused the noise.
I stopped at a red light and steam rolled out from under my hood. With no place in sight to pull over, I continued on the short distance to my destination keeping a close eye on my gauges.. I popped the hood to discover a unique problem. The brand new water pump had spun the hub off the end. The fan, clutch assembly, and pulley were laying in the fan shroud. This was no going well at all.
