Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 F-150 THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE 2000. I KEPT MY TRUCKS OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS. ON A NOVEMBER SATURDAY AS MY FAMILY AND I WAS GOING TO VISIT SOME RELATIVES ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE TIMING HAD JUMPED AND THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED. THE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE VALVE COVERS OFF TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. TO HIS SURPRISE IT WAS STILL FILLED WITH OIL AND AFTER DOING A MORE IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE ENGINE, SLUDGE WAS IN THE OIL PAN AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. I ASKED THE FORD TECHNICIAN AS TO HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED AND WITH A REPLY OF I DON'T KNOW. AS A RESULT MY MOTOR IS NO GOOD. *NM
