One word: Waterpump.

Ford OEM waterpumps are known to fail and cause engine damage. I was driving at a high rate of speed when the Ford OEM waterpump failed. I would suggest that you look there. If the temperature of the engine got hot enough, the engine could blow.

I see some possible evidence of Ford's cost cutting techniques.

PS If AAA offers you just $2500, negotiate with them to $5000.
