Blew out engine just north of Chattanooga.
Truck is awaiting new engine this week.
At least I had a motorcycle to get home on.

Any warning signs before the motor went Ric?

Sorry about your engine, Rick. If you'd called, I could have picked you up in Chattanooga, as I was about an hour behind you. I suppose you wanted to get the Beemer home, anyway.
Thanks again for organizing another fantastic meet! I believe we had the most sunny days, and least rain, of any one I've attended.

When Ric pulled in to the resort he stopped and asked if I was a car mechanic. I replied nope don't work on them. I asked what was wrong and he said the oil pressure gage reading was intermittent. I asked if he tried fixin it with a hammer. He said yea but it didn't fix it. Must be electrical if the hammer didn't fix it I replied. We both figured it was the P to E transducer. I guess we was wrong

Hey Ric, U puttin ah hemi in dat thang?

Ric, is it a 4.7 ?

Yes...it's 2001 4.7 L....why ?

And....no there was no sign or noise until it suddenly lost power.
