Trac had a heart attack

[Jim Dolinski]

My 2001 Trac with 147000 miles just lost the motor this past weekend, Went to the local restaurant Saturday for breakfast and when I pulled into the lot it started running very rough, shut it off and restarted same thing. Took it to a local garage and found that I now have no compression in cylinder 5. I suspect a broken valve spring and a damaged piston, only god knows what else. I thought for sure I would get 200000 out of it. o well life sucks and then you die.

I have started looking for another engine. in the meantime I picked up this 2000 ranger to drive for work. 4 cylinder and automatic 89000 miles.
