On monday august 28 I plan to leave from the Omaha, NE area to follow the I-80/90 using back routes to Buffalo,NY. I'm be taking a hurt 89 thunderbird sc and my wife, brother-in-law, and 17month old daughter will be in a 89 olds royale. Becuase we could not get a trailer hitch in time for the olds we have to use my Tbird to pull a 5x8 uhaul trailer. Bad thing is it overheats randomly and has a strange growl,vibration,pre-knock which starts at 2250rpm and fades as rpm increases. Had the rear wheel bearing replaced as well as hub for $300 (ouch) and thats when I had the mechanic drive it to feel/hear the sound. he syas its a start of a rod knock. Crap I totally rebuilt the bird about 650 miles ago and have been pretty light on it. Anyone in the area of our path please lend some help along the way, we plan to take about 300 mi a day for 5 days. I'll try to hit any wireless spots or public librarys if i come into any trouble. I have an erie feeling about this but its has to make it there. Message me if ur in this path and could help.
