Had a call from my son tonight. His girlfriend has a '91 F150 pickup (5.0?) which she bought this summer for $900.
Tonight they were driving and it started making "lots of odd and loud noises" along with a burning smell - but still seemed to be running normal. They stopped - it continued to idle but not well. Then she tried to turn it off but it kept running until it died a minute or so later. There was no coolant (bone dry (do you think that is a clue? ) They tried to start it a minute later but, nothing and it started leaking oil quickly - not a full dump but a steady drip.
Apparently they last filled it with coolant in Sault Ste Marie in August and nothing since.
Any thoughts other than the obvious?
thanks all
