Having the same problems as before.

My little Ranger is overheating again. I pulled the thermostat out and ready to drain some water out. 

I put in a Prestone Flush kit in. So, I can flesh it out again, down the road. It only cost $5.00. 

If you take a closer look, you can see how cloudily the oil is. It's like chocolate milk looking. 

Blowing out white smoke. This is showing up as a blown head gasket or more serious than a head gasket. 

Not sure what it is. I went to see an old friend Tommy; he has a shop on US1 called Tommy Ray auto Repair. I asked him about replacing the engine. he came up with a bill for $3,400.00 plus. Maybe need something else replaced too. make everything run well.

I did go online to find a motor it was form $2000. and up. Really no guaranties. 

Plus when I was talking with Tommy, he was telling me about one of these customers bought a engine online and now it is trying to get his money back. So, I stopped at another shop. Damen's Cason auto repair. He will be out of town until Wednesday of this week. I will be stopping by his shop near the end of the week. Just ask him what he thinks. 

I put this Blue Devil in her before and it worked for about 6 months and ran pretty good. 

I know this is a temporary fix, AGAIN. Maybe more???  

I did everything the label told me to do. So, I even poured it is in very slowly. 

After it was running for about 10 minutes I decide to go for a ride. I got on 95 and took a ride up north. I got to Indrio and came back home. Ran pretty good. But still was missing a little bit. 

You can see the oil cleared up and no more smoke out of the exhaust. 

Maybe I will be good for now? 

Folks I know putting a engine is the correct way to go. 

Just a side note. I have been stopping and talking with dealerships that have Rangers in their lot. 

2004 they want $8,400.00 That to me is crazy. 

another one was for $9,000. How can they justified the price?  

Maybe I should just get a small car and stop working????? 

Maybe NOT. 

My Lord is in control, and I am trusting Him. 

Overall, I will keep trying and let's see how things go.
