FYI: Coolant loss leads to burnt up engine.
I was driving along, enjoying the trip when the engine started to buck a little.
Soon it tried to quit.
I managed to get into a parking lot, and it seized.
It was overheated! Cooked!
Neither the Temp Gauge or the Check engine light came on.
Apparently the coolant ran low enough the Temp Sensor didn't react.
Right now the Trucks in a shop and he's trying to find a Used engine for me.
He's estimating $1300.
So Pop the hood n' check once in awhile. I didn't and it cost me bunches!
