I went to Kennedale tonight and it just wasn't my night. First I broke off one of the wheel studs and stripped out another. Then on the way home I smelled something and pulled over to find that I have no fluid in the intercooler or radiator resevoir. I know there was fluid in there when I was racing because I saw the fluid swirl when I had the pump on. Is Terry back in town yet? :hammer:

The gold/ orange coolant can be picke up at any local autozone, etc.

Just add some and see if it gets low again.

Check your oil dipstick, or pull off your oil breather cap and see if it looks like a milkshake and report back.

No milkshake. It just looks like regular oil. All seems to be ok. It didn't get hot last night even though the temp was over 90.

How the heck did you break off a wheel stud???? You must have really given it some muscle when you put the lug nuts on. I have caught heck a few times over the amount of torque I have put on mine. Seem it is real hard to get them off after I lay 240 lbs of mean on them...LOL.

I have started using a torque wrench and putting them at 125 ft lbs.
