After having the crankshaft front seal replaced and an oil change, it shut off while driving, why?

Hi,

Were you able to restart the vehicle? Did this happen while you were traveling or while at a stop?

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,

Joe

I got in the car a literally drove a mile down the road it shuttered and lost my RPMs and smoked everywhere, total loss of power.

But when I checked the car cooled down, I checked the oil, and nothing was on the oil dip stick at all. However, out of the blue it gets towed to the shop, and he showed me the dip stick and it's full of oil.

And when I was travelling.

Hi,

Has anyone been able to identify the cause of the smoke? That is my biggest concern. As far as it not starting, we can figure that out, but I would like to know about the smoke, so we don't further damage something.

When you had the issue, did the smoke have an oil smell or something different?

Joe

No, it did not smell like oil.

It was where my radiator was.

Can a bad battery have something to do with it? Because they have had to jump it off a few times as well.

Hi,

Okay, the smoke was likely from engine coolant steaming. As far as the battery is concerned, it can cause it. However, it wouldn't have caused the smoke. It sounds like it may have stalled because of overheating. Did you check the temperature gauge when this was happening?

Joe

It was normal that I seen.

Hi,

Okay. Then one other thing at the radiator may have been transmission fluid. The transmission cooler is integral to the radiator. There is a supply and return that may have leaked.

I attached a pic below showing the supply line. The return looks the same but is lower on the radiator. Has the transmission fluid level been checked?

Let me know.

Joe
