The breakfast pizza was a steal for $8. It was worth that price all day outside of the airport.

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.

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.
