zrex Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 My truck overheated last night on the freeway. Didn’t quit peg the temp needle but over heated good. Called triple AAA and for the 2nd time in 15 years got towed home. The freeze plug above the oil filter is gone, truck has 386K miles, the motor turns and the oil hasn’t been compromised. This morning Bumped the starter over and it sounded strained and the engine didn’t fire up. I’ll do a compression check and go from there. Bummer .. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Take plugs out and spin it over. Any water come out? Quote Link to comment
zrex Posted June 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks Mike for the suggestion. Pulled plugs spun it over and no water came out. Starter still straining to crank, Edited June 17, 2022 by zrex Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 That's good. Battery may just be down from cranking the day before. Quote Link to comment
