Description of the problem	I have 2004 f-150 with 92,000 miles on it , i bought it 3 years ago with 70,000 on it making a slight tapping noise . I talked with many people and and the dealer saying that this is the way the engine is designed and should be fine. Yesterday driving down a major highway in northern virginia traveling at 65 mph my truck started making a noise from the engine and shut off , i had good oil pressure ,water temp was fine i pulled it off the highway, never to start again. I had it towed to a locale ford dealer in fairfax va. After reading from ford forum web site and hearing the horror stories i feel i am in for a hugh repair bill. I also see there is a class action suit against the ford motor company for not standing behind their vehicles when there seems to be a major flaw in the engines design. Aprox. Cost of a new engine is between 7 and 10,000 some consumers started to have problems as early as 12,000 miles, i baby my truck, the heaviest thing i have hauled in it is a 6 ft. Christmas tree for my living room. I babied my truck to what means just to have a high repair bill like so many others??? I hope you can help . Please/thank -you in advance
