ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT 5:30 AM, A LOAD NOISE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY RUN AND REQUIRED A TOW, THE DEALER SHIP SAID THAT THE SPARK PLUG HAD EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE DUE TO STRIPPED THREADS IN THE BLOCK. ALSO I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRUCK LOSING OIL AND THE SMELL OF BURNED OIL ON AN OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2000. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. THE LEAK IS NOW WORSE WITH OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR FOR THE PAST YEAR AND THE SMELL OF BURNED OIL MORE OFTEN. I SUSPECT THE HEAD GASKET FROM READING OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. *NM
