Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WITH ONLY 78,000 MILE ,THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE ONE DAY. VERY QUIET AND SMOOTH. I WENT TO START IT A DAY OR TWO LATER ,AND THERE WAS A CLANKING SOUND OUT OF THE ENGINE,VERY LOUD, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS, AFTER LETTING IT RUN A BIT ,ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NOISE STOPPED .BUT NOW THERE'S HEAVY BLUE SMOKE POURING OUT THE TAIL PIPE. BEING A RETIRED MECHANIC I KNOW THIS IS A VERY BAD OIL ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS 5.7 ENGINE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THIS ENGINE SELF DESTRUCTING. *TR
