[jammert609@yahoo.com]

I accidently fried the 2.8 on the ranger afue weeks ago running it hard with no oil turns out it was spitting everywhere in my engine bay. I will say that my ranger was a great truck an thats the only reason i am keeping it, Hopefully soon when money comes up an a place to to take it apart an rebuild comes available i will start the ranger build. Ive got to finish my other prodject first, on my car an get my s10 to pass state inspectshion. I do know I am pulling the engine an taking it to the scraper,an make way for something else when money comes avaliable. Its going to be alot of fun rebuilding my firstd ever truck. If anyone needs any parts before i take the engine drop a meg on here.

Son,
How does one 'accidently fried' a 2.8 engine w/no oil & foot buried to the sheet metal ? LoL!!
Anyways, I hope you get the S10 in good running condition & less heavy right foot-

I did that to mine, actually ran it to the point it died on the highway. I dumped in the two quarts I had with and it just touched the dipstick, cranked right back up and got me home. It smoked like a freight train going up a long mountain grade and was a complete dog for a week and a half... but the rings seated back in and it still held great oil pressure.

It ran as good as it ever did when I pulled it out to make way for a 302 7 years later although it had gained a lot of blowby in its last year.

IMO 2.8's don't die, they just lose compression.
