I agree I think he just guessed. I don't know exactly how hot it was running when it happened. Sigh, I have to admit that I let me wife drive and woke up to the car overheating. I called JC Rovers in CO and they thought that his initial thoughts are unfortunately possible and very likely.

I am towing it back to CO and will have it looked at. May also pick up a compression tester in the mean time.

OK He said that he doesn't think there is compression in the entire engine. Best case he thinks it is a head gasket, worst case, and relatively likely he thinks the piston rings are torched from the over heating. I bought the car cash for $3k so I don't have a note on it. It still sounds like...

engine has no compression. They think it might be the head gasket and possibly more. Engine has 133,000 miles on it. Do I fix it, or just dump it / engine swap. Thoughts?

yes, there is a whine under the hood but nothing catches.

West Branch is the name of the town.

West Branch, some little town. Just off 80w about 5 miles past the big Iowa 80 truck stop.

I do have some oil pooling at the front of the engine block in a little metal cubby between the block and radiator. How bad is a blown head gasket if that is the case?

doesn't seem to be, seems to run just green. I have it at some random garage as I am in the middle of Iowa where it happened. I am just looking for some thoughts and education to help me deal with them tomorrow.

you mean more than normal :)? I have been dumping a large amount of coolant at stops. But I have been topping it off every day. I have been leaking power steering fluid and some oil. But I filled this morning.

Hi All, I had an issue today on the highway. Overheated and had to pull over. Let the car cool and filled with fluids. Now the vehicle won't start. It seems to the starter is turning over but the engine doesn't seem to try and turn over. I did a little research and found some similar issues...

Thanks for the reminder Mike, hopefully will see you there!

OK, I am pulling my hair out over a window problem. I am probably missing something obvious so I figured I would try my friends. My front two windows work no problem. I was told when I bought the vehicle that the rear windows were broken but he gave me two motors to replace them. I took the...

Sam, reminds me of my car stereo days when I was younger.

Great looking truck! keep us in the loop.

probably the same one, just off of 40 outside of Berthoud. I was way up above the tree line where yes there was still snow on the road in July. The snow was talking up about 3/4 of the road. I thought I could squeeze by and the edge of the road gave way and I slid off. I tried for about 10...

Thanks, I am. I got it and basically every fluid was either low or empty. After filling I am currently dealing with leaks. I have a small colling system leak, I have some K-stop I have to put in. I have an oil leak that I am still trying to figure out. I also have a MAJOR steering fluid leak. I...

Disco Pics And here are the before pictures of my new Disco I. And yes these were taken about 1/4 of a mile down the pass from where I rolled my Jeep. Will post upgrade pics as the build continues. Currently focusing on core maintence.

Jeep Pics Here are the pictures of my Jeep Wrangler just after I rolled it off Jones Pass in CO. Not pretty! :Wow1:

I assume that you have sold these buy now?
