My heart sank a little when I heard it, I’m not gonna lie. Luckily I was with some friends that put my mind at ease and entertained me for the weekend.

Surprised there were no oil leaks, no signs of trouble prior. Just the light on the dash, quickly followed by what sounds like someone hacking up a lung. I was able to pull over within maybe 10 seconds and by that time the engine wouldn’t turn over.

11 weeks at the dealership so far...I would think, since they’re going to have to remove the engine to get the bottom end off, it WOULD have saved them significant amount of labor time to just swap in a crate engine.

SECOND car I ever owned in 30 years of driving to leave me stranded. I guess count my blessings?
