Engine is dead

[Todd Cloutier]

Well, the engine died on my way to work this morning. I had the Trac towed to the dealer so they could take a look at it. I just got a call from them, and they report that the engine has no compression. Possibly a timing chain failure.

That sucks man, I almost bet it dropped a valve and slammed into the piston.....



Whatcha gonna do man ???

I tried cranking the engine and it sounded like the starter motor did not have to work against any resistance. When the engine died it didn't feel like it dropped a cylinder, it just shut off.

So, what should I get to replace the ST?

shure been a rash of this lately.

 

[Roger Batts]

Find an Adrenalin or maybe--dare I say it?--a Raptor? :driving:

 

[Tommy Moore]

Replace it with an 08 or newer V8 Adrenalin !!! :bwahaha:

 

[Todd Cloutier]

While I do like the Raptor, $38K plus is an awful lot for a pickup truck. I don't know how the Raptor would do as a daily driver anyhow. I wasn't really considering a ST either since it is an outgoing model with what are essentially last-generation mechanicals. Besides, I've already owned 2 Sport Tracs.

 

[Todd Cloutier]

Well, the local dealers have the Raptors listed at $50k.

greats deals now on 2010 F150's...might be worth checking out~

Update from the Ford dealer - no compression on the right bank

the Raptor SVT is an amazing looking truck. I love it,

i test drove one and i fell in love with it but if that appeals to you

so much as to convince you to buy it. i would deff wait till the full size

four door Raptor comes out. which will be soon!

I'm thinking about a Fiesta. I'm probably a bit influenced by Clarkson's review on Top Gear.

 

[John Z]

How many miles did you have on it?

 

[Phil Frady]

How many miles on it?

Mine had 189K, the first time.



You do have 3 options:

Replace the cassettes,

long block replacement,

Trade the Vehicle
