Remote chassis ears are helpful in pinpointing the noise. A cab mounted audio receiver allows the mechanic to switch between various microphones mounted on the suspect vehicle components to pinpoint the noise. If you suspect wheel bearings, you might get...
This may be caused by a bad shift interlock solenoid, a bad shift cable or possibly a failed brake light switch. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to take a look at the vehicle...
No antifreeze would explain the no heat and if the antifreeze leaked out, that might be related to the cloud of smoke. Also, if there is no liquid coolant in the engine, the temperature gauge will malfunction as you describe...
