Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My boyfriend has a 2005 f150 styleside triton xlt. He

heard boom boom and then it broke down. Some how
between there and bring towed him his Cadillac
converter on his passenger side was cut off. My
friends boyfriend looked at it and the starter was
ruined he was holding it in his hand. He got it replaced
with a brand new one and now it's rolling over but not

Backfiring is usually a symptom of a jumped or broken timing chain or belt. Do a compression test. If all cylinders test very low or zero it's jumped timing. Also, the catalytic converter probably blew off when it backfired. Hope that helps! Jim
