I have a 93 ranger xlt 4x4 with the 4.0 liter V6. The engine and transmition were rebuilt shortly before i purchased it 3 years ago. It's run excellently since I've owned it. however on a trip home to Nevada from Texas my heater hose exploded emptying my radiator and rapidly overheating the engine. i was able to fix the hose and refill the radiator, but the truck wouldn't start. i got towed back to Nevada and now my truck is just sitting in my driveway. there was some milky white substance in the oil which I've been told means that some water or coolant made it's way in there, but that seems to have all dissipated. a friend suggested that i clean out the distributer and recharge the battery, neither of which helped. it sounds like it's turning over but it won't start. if anyone has any other advice or knows what could be wrong i would greatly appreciate the assistance. thank you.
