2006 Ford Explorer Overheated and won't start
I have a 2006 Ford Explorer that over heated. As soon as the dash light came on the engine died and will not start. Does this mean that the engine is toast?
Re: 2006 Ford Explorer
It could very well mean that, yes.
If it got excessively hot, you could have warped the cylinder heads and lost compression and/or lost the rest of the internals. Usually an overheat issue is never a good thing unless you catch it before the engine gets too hot. In your case, I can't say for sure, but if it won't start back up, that's never a good sign.
