Well, I was driving home tonight from work, it is a bit cold (25 degrees or so). Anyway, headed out from work, got going for a bit and I heard a loud BOOM from my engine. It kept driving fine, so I figured I ran something large over and it hit the undercarriage (with some doubt). Anyway, after a couple of minutes, the motor started rattling, got a bit worse. I check the gauges, and the temp is just below "H". Then I start losing power and pull off shortly thereafter as power is really going down. I shut if off and park it with smoke pouring out from under the hood. Take a look, and it seems to me that the HG is blown? Definitely coolant all around, both sides of motor, looks like it is leaking from under the head.
So, any ideas what happened in there?
Luckily my neighbor was headed home shortly after me and towed me home with the help of my towstrap. The truck is parked out in the driveway now!
