If you dont have it add towing coverage to your auto policy, then drive it until it lets loose.
Have several tow companies stored in your phone.
If you want it to last a little longer add 80w-90 gear lube to the crank case.
But she is done for.
That rod knock is so bad the only cure is a total rebuild or a different engine.
How long has the oil light been coming on?

Or does oil light come on at all when engine first cranks? Wire might be off the sensor. That would explain not seeing an oil light. Spike is right, if one rod is gone, others are not far behind, somehow this engine has been oil starved. We have forum members who have done rebuilds, some have worked the crank bearings without removing the engine.

Well, one source in Atlanta is usually Pull-A-Part, but their current inventory is like a dozen D1s. You might want to register with them for an email alert if one comes on the yards (3 in Atlanta).
