I killed my Explorer!

My truck died on me Friday night. Had it towed to Ford country. Monday they tell me the Head gasket is blown, the #5 piston is shot, and I've got coolant in the oil. They ordered a new engine for my X, but I still don't know if it's gonna be covered under warrenty (sp) or if it's gonna come out of pocket. Most likely, Warrenty (sp). I'll have my X back by Mon day at the latest! This sucks!

Thought you were going for a late April fools but figuring not, that really does suck. Nubeee1 might be on to something though, just might be trade in time b4 anything else goes wrong.

Hehe... I've been having a minor rattling coming from my X for a while now. I was told my one of the mechanics at my shop that it sounded like something in the exhaust and not to worry about it. So I believed him and didn't get it checked out. Then, last week, I just ran it way to hard and it gave out. So apparently it wasn't my exhaust after all. All is well now. I have my X again and it is running better than before. For now on, it's getting babied!!!
