Pizza that I ate before 1030 that they put 2 over easy eggs on? Lol it didn't have much sauce, but had bacon, cheese and some other goodies.

 

Sounds good.

Yes those plugs sucked! When I did my FIL's he got a one piece plug. Took almost 4 damn hours too.

Keep that shit your way. I have had my fill. :)

You ever have one of those feelings that someone is calling your name and you realize it is coming from your answering machine...

This truck was an immaculate 2008 F150 with 75K. The owner wanted a tune up, it wasn't due, nor needed based on drivability issues. I forewarned him of what could happen, and even did Ford's recommended soak overnight. 3 came apart. If you look at one of the plugs you will see that the threads tore right off the plug. When I removed the socket the metal came out, while the porcelain and side electrode portion stayed in the hole. I have seen plugs blow out of a vehicle like that, but I have never seen, nor heard of the porcelain remaining in the hole while the threaded portion came out.

 

Of course #4 and #8 broke. They are the 2 rear plugs. The other was, fortunately #1 and very easy to access. I had the Rotunda (Ford factory) removal tool before, but it was worn out. I bought the Lisle equivalent last year. This was my first time using it, and IMO it worked better than the Ford tool. It is a very low profile set up, so it fit into the rear holes relatively easy.

What did you end up getting as a replacement Matt?

Waiting on a check from the bank. Then I buy the wife a car.

It will maybe be the hardest purchase I have ever made in my life.

Fortunately I have all the right tools. The plug socket is very specific, but I have also invested in an extremely low profile 9/32 6 point 1/4 drive universal swivel socket just for removing the coils. I can run through a tune on a modular Ford in ~ an hour (pays 3 to 4). Even with having to extract 3 plugs I got this done in 3 hours. I get 3 hours for the main tune, 1 hour for the soak (if the customer chooses) and an hour per plug extraction. So I got 7 hours out of it, and had it done before lunch.

Seth what can you tell me about Fords ecoboost F150. My FIL has a new 2014 and I want him to use amsoil in it, what are your thoughts?

Reason I am asking is turbo motors will run a little warmer and most oils have a lower volatility rating.

He has been told to use a lucas oil stabilizer when changing his oil.
