[QUOTE="Mort, post: 261472, member: 361"] Man--what a nightmare change plugs on my 04 F150 is turning into. A hundred ways to do it. They say to crack the threads the spray carb cleaner then let it sit, had hell of time just cracking them period, literally. Probably did it all wrong, ended up breaking 6, got 1 out complete and 1 is loose in head but can't get it out. Broke at least two were the porcelain is higher than the bottom shield part and cannot get the removal tool on it, 1 has partial electrode broken off, so cannot get the tool on that one either and that one is the 4th hole drivers side, fun. Truck has 117,000 - First spark plug change and probably the last. It developed a miss last friday, check engine light was flashing, googled and found it its related to a misfire. Being haven't changed plugs since I've had the truck, thought I'd do it. Four plugs in, Four to go IF I can get the other 4 out. Hoping I don't have to resort to pulling the head. Like Ford, but man I think their engineers are pretty stupid, those A--holes need to try and fix something they designed and see just what fuckery they dreamed of, what works on paper, doesn't work in reality. That was my weekend, I still have my '93 F150 so driving that...171,000.....so nice to have a back up vehicle when one goes down. [/QUOTE]
