I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2002 FORD F-150 TRUCK WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG UNDER THE HOOD FOLLOWED BY A POPPING SOUND AND A LOSS OF POWER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT UNDER THE HOOD. SEEING NOTHING EVIDENT I TOOK THE CAR HOME AT AN EXTREMELY REDUCED SPEED WHERE I LEFT THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.
