I took the advice of a mechanic and took the ECM off along with the bracket to gain much better access to the two back plugs on the passenger side of the motor.
Just the triton 3v motor. I tried a couple different ways since some said do it hot and others said do them cold. The few I tried cold broke. The ones I did at operating temp with soaking in wd40 for 15 to 30 minutes came out (excruciatingly slowly) in tact .
Since I keep my vehicles until the wheels fall off I decided to opt for the more pricey one piece plugs in hopes that I won't have to go through this headache again.
So, I'll start by saying I've always been a ford fan (I've owned 3 prior to my 2007 F150) but my F150 may be the last. The Triton 3v motors are known for breaking plugs upon removal due to carbon build up. Wtf? They are supposed to be 100 mile plugs, but decided to change mine early at 68k...
Keep 'em coming. These are all funny and ridiculous. I know there are many more good stories out three just waiting to be told.
Kiddchaos, I haven't heard about the GM employee sellign ammo from his truck...... Please give more details (I'm assuming your pic above is from teh Castleton GM???).
I'm curious what your best story is that someone has fed you or crazy prices (LGS to remain anoynomous please!) during the shortages over the past 10 to 11 months. A couple of my favs have been walking into a LGS on the westside and seeing winchester 555 round boxes broken out into 50 round...
No worries here Hemicharger. I'm not selling mine. My M&P 15-22 loves to eat this stuff. I've always been a ruger 10/22 fan, but the MP15-22 is truly a top contender against the old reliable 10-22's. Oh, I digress. Back on topic........ I've waited a loooooong time to get my hands on some...
I've looked about 25 times and this is teh first time I've actualy seen .22lr on the shelf (especially midday at WM!!!). It was right at $20 per box with the tax included. I felt obliged to post the location to help others in need of it save the time (and gas!!!).
I do feel as if the mad...
