my daily threw a rod today 388k
my 94 tempo oh what a joy this car has been. Bought it for 200 dollars with 121k on it about 4 years ago. It today got rod knock on the way to work really bad checked the oil it was full and about half way clean. Figured it was from the mileage, well on the way home from the hospital The car gods decided it was her time and she promptly threw 2 rods out the block on the freeway. time to upgrade anyways found a nice 2000 f350 lariat with the 7.3l 133k that i can afford. Moral of this story is Fix Or Repair Daily is some BS. This fine automobile with the 2.3l managed to make it to 388,609 miles before she finally let go with the original trans and motor BUILT FORD TOUGH

Nice story! Your $200 went a long way, much longer than you expected I'm sure! Fix Or Repair Daily or Found On Road Dead has been better known as First On Race Day! FORD the only one of the BIG3 that isn't GOVT owned
