Nah, finally got it started about 15 mins after the post. Someone in my family must have moved my car without me noticing, it was flooded like the Bangladesh in monsoon season.
After I got the 8 running I tackled the grinding wheel on my truck. Took the hub assembly off and a pile of metal shavings dumped out of the inside of it....blown bearing. Tried to remove the two bearing assemblies inside the hub but the C-clamp thingy was hopelessly rusted in there so I just ran to Autozone and bought a whole new hub for 80 bucks. Had everything back together in about 30 mins, working great.
Stupid winter! It's not fun unless there's 2 feet of snow on the ground! Hurry up snow!
