Description of the problem | Head gasket went out along with the starter & believed to be water pump also went out.. All with in 2 days.... No notice at all engine light came on when gasket blew. Covered with a lot of smoke which filled my whole backyard. I turmed the van off and it would not start... I contacted paydays south where i purchased the van when they directed me to ricart ford in columbus,ohio. They had believed it was still covered under factory warranty. I spoke with a kevin daniels at ricart who was very nice and is going to set up a appt for us.... Also when we replaced the starter.. We attempted to start the van and it made two very loud clanking noises. Which left me very concerned about the damages done to the engine. |
