Routine 06 F150 maintenance
« on: March 15 2012, 04:57:11 PM »
Had to reduce this pic, sorry Mark and Steve, you should get the idea though. Got this job from another shop, 06 F150 5.4. All but 2 plugs seized. Thank God for special tools. What was Henry thinking?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve, that's my opinion too. I think if they saw less than 75k they wouldn't let go, this truck was 113k. What I did on the two plugs that didn't break, got as close as I could, no extensions, and hit em. with my 3/8 air gun, walked em right out (as I sweated)!!!! If I tried to sneak em out real slow with a ratchet,  you could hear and feel the porcelain breaking.
