After sitting for 3 months i decided to bite the bullet and have another engine installed. I picked up up from the shop on the way to work and have my roomate follow me until i got to work (just so i felt comfortable with the new engine) he callecd me on the phone ddriving and said " GET OUT YOUR ON FIRE" I pulled over and sure enough the grass caught on fire the underneither was on fire. I had a fire extenguisher in the truck and put out the truck but the grass underneither was still going and i had no more extinguisher left, so i jumped in the truck to try to starty it and move it and i wouldnt start so i started pushing it! ( IF THE BRONCO WAS GOING TO BLOW UP, I WAS GOING WITH IT!) So got it moved and towed it to work and when they put in the engine they pinched the gasket for the adadpter plate for the oil filter and the oil caught on fire. so they fixed it all up... so today i get to drive it again! this time im going to say a prayer before i drive it!!!!!

Maybe the old girl just wanted to call it quits, So you might be careful does not take much to go from suicidel to Homicidel. She might just up and take you both out.
