Looks like the spokes were cut off flush to the hubI was hoping technology would win here, but it definitely did not. Maybe a pic from another angle would fit the model better - but this is what my image recognition program said:
* Rubble
* Road (gravel, dirt road)
* Ground
* Slate
* Fungus

Amish winch? imagine the crap yall could find with a metal detector. i wouldn't go diggin up the mountain top but bet there's plenty of cool crap just under the dust.
hope that's not on/in the trail.

The hub was found while excavating the old tailings. The barb wire found just as you see it, on the surface. Found some old leather shoe soles too. Along with some flip flops

I feel like Newt from The Big Green. "I found part of a tail pipe, and an old shoe!"
Valley floor just west of Telluride. We have a big river restoration project going on

Swapped the oil pressure sensor on my wife's KL this morning. Apparently they're known for failing early, though this one lasted 75k miles.
I'm still a novice mechanic, but I was proud of myself for replacing the upper oil pressure sensor in my daughter's '08 CR-v. CEL came on and it went into limp mode (RPM limited to ~2700). There was only one code which happened to have an entry on NHTSA with the manufacturer's official TSB: part number, diagram, instructions.
It was pretty easy to access and replace, but I did have to add some new wobbly socket extensions to my tool collection.
Now I'm trying to track down her next complaint: fuel economy is down. I think it has some power loss as well, and I've noticed a mild shudder around 40mph, right before the AT shifts. The shudder seems to recur around 70mph, but only occurs with throttle applied.
It has new OEM spark plugs (the old ones looked clean), I think the CV shafts have acceptable play, no more CEL to suggest misfire. I thought exhaust might be clogged (there is some rust on the outside of the cat), but I wonder if a failing torque converter could explain everything. The fluid was neglected by the PO; I've changed it twice in the past year.
Could a torque converter cause loss of mpg?
I hate automatic transmissions...
