1-31-12.
Go to dads garage. Truck missing, time for new plugs and other things.
Remove plugs, 4 broken. Plugs look burnt and worn out.

2-1-12 take day off work to fix plugs.
Spend all day removing 3 broken plugs, have to buy more tools off snap-on.

9:00 Pm same day.
7 new plugs installed, one broke plug left, get it out but some of the plug falls into the cylinder.
Get way mad, scratch paint in engine bay firewall on accident.


Engine probe #1 not working, get #2. It doesn't work either.
Get more mad.
No idea how to get the rest of of the cylinder.
Leave truck and keys with my dad.


Find a ride home, wife was sleeping.
Already spent $20 a plug plus a day off work, not even changed oil or fuel filter or serviced rear end and trans yet.

Today.
Take wifes trailblazer that has ran perfectly for years (its a 05) with no problems to work.
Miss truck.

Dad calls, he has a shop vac and is trying to suck the stuff out of the cylinder. Snap-on is bringing a new probe to see if he got it all out.

Miss and hate truck at the same time.

 

^ Sorry to hear about the truck and things not working out as intended.

Washed mine earlier, to much salt up here in the North.

 

Got my tax refund and decided to finally pull the trigger on a Gryphon CTS from PHP. I can't wait to get this thing. So far, I only ordered an 87 Performance tune, but I'm excited to adjust tire size, see how the canned tunes work, and see what I've been missing for so long.

 

Added a quart of oil to mine. It was low. Then put gas in it, and thats about it for today.

 

Today I had the oil changed, front diff serviced, & the trans filter changed with a new pan with a drain plug......I'm at 34K miles right now!

 

risupercrew, I just did the trans fluid should i have done the filter also?
im at 36000 miles btw

 

I put towing mirrors on.

 

spark plugs changed none broken and new brakes and slotted and drilled rotors!

 

Gave the ol girl a good Armor All bath inside on the dash and door panels, used Tuff Stuff to clean the vinyl floors and my rubber floor mats off, and wiped down my exhaust tips with Meguir's Chrome Polish. Now, tomorrow I'll wash n wax her, clean the interior glass and she will be pretty, inside AND out

 

Leveled the front and 1.5 inch block on the rear and had it aligned/my duratracs mounted. Might pull off the running boards tomorrow, see what it looks like during the day before I decide.

 

got my new Ford steering wheel overlay in today! Black/Chrome to match the other 2 emblems and the rest of the truck. I'm a happy man at the moment.

 

Just been driving it, want it to be spring so I can pull the Roushes out

 

Bought off ebay a homelink transmitter. Still trying to decide if I should mount in the visor or overhead console.

 

Sent my PCM and Gryphon to Bill @ PHP. The PATS disabled my truck and partially erased my trucks memory for some odd reason all after I just got done installing a set of tow mirrors.

So my truck is currently without a brain and won't be doing squat for several days...

 

Oh bummer. I need to get my custom tunes on the way. Maybe I can start on that tomorrow.
