I killed my Explorer!

My truck died on me Friday night. Had it towed to Ford country. Monday they tell me the Head gasket is blown, the #5 piston is shot, and I've got coolant in the oil. They ordered a new engine for my X, but I still don't know if it's gonna be covered under warrenty (sp) or if it's gonna come out of pocket. Most likely, Warrenty (sp). I'll have my X back by Mon day at the latest! This sucks!

Hehe... I've been having a minor rattling coming from my X for a while now. I was told my one of the mechanics at my shop that it sounded like something in the exhaust and not to worry about it. So I believed him and didn't get it checked out. Then, last week, I just ran it way to hard and it gave out. So apparently it wasn't my exhaust after all. All is well now. I have my X again and it is running better than before. For now on, it's getting babied!!!
