Changed the plugs today. Solved my fuel in cab smell and what I thought was a loud injector was the #6 plug had completely come out of the hole and the only thing keeping it there was the COP. Never had a miss just a very light shake once and a while
Also when I removed the fuel rail, all the o-rings stayed in the rail, wasnt a big deal just pulled them all out and put them back on the injectors except for one.... I mustve popped out when I got the rail off. I thought I was done for. I thought for sure I was never going to find the o-ring and would have to wait till tomorrow morning to see if Ford could hook me up. So I sat down in front of the truck and I couldnt believe it, the o-ring just sitting there under the truck, I cleaned her up and put everything back together.
Man, does she purr now

I was so excited I found that o-ring, I went and bought a lottery ticket

Put my new spark plug in since when I changed them I got a defective plug. Tore the foglights out to try and fix the leak, took the tow hooks off and sanded and painted them. Tomorrow going to put the fog lights back in, tow hooks back on and wash it then put my new FX4 decals on.

Attempted to install my shackle kit, but was thwarted by a cheap Taiwanese socket. Guess I'm having a shop do it.

Took out the light for the check engine light on my dash so I don't have to look at it any more.
