Hello. I have a 1999 Ford XLT Ranger 3.0 Gas, 170k Miles. I recently overheated and need advice on the issue. The lower hose came loose on the way home and the engine overheated. I put the hose back on correctly, added new coolant and truck started fine so I took it around the block for a test. Literally 1 min after I started driving the check engine light came on so I took it back and parked it.
Symptons: Abrupt check engine light stating a misfire code, little oil was in the radiator water, some white smoke came out when it started back up and there are no signs of visible leaks after I repalced water and coolant I ran it in place nothihng leaked.
I am not sure of the next step and if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I did suspect maybe a crack in engine or head issue but I persoanlly have not got that involved before.
Any advice will help.
Thanks
