Howdy folks,
Was having a conversation with the wife's uncle today, and he said "Guess what happened to my Taurus?"
I bite, and say "I dunno, tranny?"
He said "Nope, Crank snapped!"
I said "WTF?!?!?!"
Ok, so has anybody else heard of this? It's a 2001 SE Sport (nice car, just like n2_space's, just dirtier
) with the Vulcan and roughly 70,000 miles (108,000 kms to be exact).
Car was running rough one morning, he pulls out on the road, and she stops. Has CAA pick it up, take it to his garage, and the mechanic looks at it in the afternoon. He says that the crank snapped.
The mechanic said something else... "All 2001 3.0 Taurus' had small 'cracks' in the crank. I call :bs: on that one. I searched here, and in the archives, and no mention of it.
Is this BS? Has anybody else heard of it? And if so, what has been done?
Thanks,
Ryan
