Official what did you do to your truck today thread.
Lol, yup. It was good though. Never done injectors before, so that was new, but the radio, spark plugs, COP's, park brake adjusters, MAF sensor, and headlights I've had off before so those were easy. I've never taken the throttle body off the engine, so that was new. I usually take it in for the oil and oil filter, but I'm not doing that anymore. The oil filter was on there so tight that it took me nearly an hour to get off. I replaced it with a Motorcraft filter and Royal Purple 5W20 oil.
I found the problem causing the misfire on 7 ... I don't know what happened last time I changed the spark plugs but apparently I forgot to tighten that one up enough. I was setting the socket with my fingers and it started backing off when it dropped in place. It wasn't even finger tight! Started on cylinder 1 and worked my way back to eight with the torque wrench and did them all up to 26ft-lbs, this time.
Guess I should mention I filled up, last night, as well at $1.159. That was a $73 fill up ... from half tank. Don't forget I'm in Canada and that's $1.159 per LITRE. That works out to $4.39 per US Gallon, give or take a couple.
