Blew her up 2 days after installing a new transmission. Got really stuck and while trying to get out I snapped my 8,000LBs winch cable. While trying to get out I laid it over pretty far and starved the motor of oil. Sounds like I spun a rod bearing.

Replaced ANOTHER CKP (Crankshaft Position Sensor)
I had just put a new one in a month or so ago and didn't realize the wires were resting right on the exhaust manifold...

melted it GOOD!

Got another one from rockauto and before I installed it I put some more protection around it and fed it as close to the firewall as I could! Those CKP's are a pain to replace!
