So it just seized while you were driving? There could have been sludge buildup in the motor that you didnt know about. Or something could have broke causing it to seize

Oh, it only make a small rattle since last year but the noise never got worse -it all of a sudden went away.



Just kidding. That was easy but not trying to make matters worse. Just seems like some important piece of information is missing.
