It ain't too bad here in AR... Bring it over here, and I'll alternate, and help keep the cobwebs out of yours...

So, how bad was the fix? How long did it take, and which plug was it?

It wasn't too bad, took about an hour and a half. They could have put one more comment in the instructions for when I tapped the new thread that you go ahead and push through the resistance until the tap spins freely.

It was the front plug on the passenger side. the one behind it had loosened as well but hadn't blown out yet.

Do you have the new bodystyle f150? I want one...bad. I have to find a job! It sucks just getting out of college and theres no jobs in my field around here out in the sticks. Well, there's a few, but they don't pay good. Everytime I see a new bodystyle 4x4 f150 I go nuts! Looks like I'm off to the big city to look for work. Wish me luck!

Good luck with the job hunt!

I have a 2000 F150, 4x2 so I'll be using a lot of sand!

Haha! I've got a 2001 2wd so I will too. They do alright in the snow and slush if you have decent tires with good grip. Mines an open diff. I've never owned a 4wd yet, but it'll happen soon enough. I got the faith.
