noticed that there was no oil (put some in)in the
car and it was smelling hot and started making a
grinding sound really bad upon acceleration and
when driving .i finally parked it and after that the
battery died (which was brand new) after jumping
it ran for a minute and than the grinding gets worse

At this point you should take it to a mechanic, and be prepared for the bad news. The grinding noise could be coming from the engine, transmission, or one of the belt driven accessories.

Yeah its been two months was gpnna replace the engine but it is now at a mechanic im prepared to replace the engine but its hard to find the engine that i have its v8 4.7L.he said something that it might be a bearing or the alternator but it did have a 152000 on it
