Son is driving west to east. 01XJ.
He's been having a bit of a problem. No heat is the biggest issue. Also, it stalled on him in the mountains (Wyoming) but seemed to be driving ok. Now he's stopped at a rest stop, oil is looking dark, and there is oil in the engine compartment where it sprayed out. Leak? It is real dark and he just changed it not long ago.
Also, vehicle not starting. It shut off as he took foot off gas going into rest stop.
This vehicle had the motor replaced with what I believe was a 97. Before my time. But, its not the original 01 motor. Therefore, sounds like it blew a gasket or the head gasket?
Bottom line, I might have to drive to get it (from SC). Any tentatives guesses as to where to start?
