Default Sudden engine noise, smoke

I have a 2005 Ranger with a 4.0 V-6. Never had any problems with the truck until yesterday. The engine suddenly had a noise like a pop. The it started running real rough and shaking. Blue tinted smoke pouring out the tailpipe. Dealer says engine is blown and only solution is a new engine. Any suggestions. They say it would cost $5000.

Sounds like you lost a Cylinder and it's burning oil. Ask the dealer what they found in testing the motor, like low compression ,etc.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.
