a plug that is. its a 2000 red and the owner doesnt really know a whole lot about the truck. he bought it bc he loved his 94 so much. he called me sunday morning and said it sounds like i have an exhaust leak and its running terrible or something to that effect and sure enough i told him about the plug launching that is going on and he checked. he lost one. that sucks bc its bone stock.

and the hits just keep a coming.

Would this cold weather have anything to do with it? the way metal reacts to heat and cold , expantion and contraction possibly loosens the threads?

Before you guys flame I am just asking.
Just seems to be a lot MORE lately.

Mine never made it to cold weather before it blew a plug. It was built 3-5-01 and it launched a plug on a warm late summer night in September 2001...

 

just put loc tite on em

 

Hey, That's a good idea. What should I use the red or the blue? Jim

 

I was thinking maybe JB weld.


Rocks

 

a quick tac with the tig welder is sufficient.

 

i should probably cover my *** just in case someone that doesnt know any better reads this. Theres a wink for a reason. DO NOT PUT LOCKTITE ON YOUR SPARK PLUGS! Im non sc and im a 4.6 so i dont worry much so i put antisieze on mine, the exact opposite.

 

I've driven mine 2 winters and never launched a plug. Even while getting on it. Maybe the Tech I had put my plugs in knows what he is doing.

 

Hey Ryan

After I met you at Atco, I started thinking that maybe I knew you. You didn't work out of 475 did you? And if so, do you remember being stuck in the elevator at the cracker for an hour and half at the refinery in Linden? If so.......that was me with you

 

Mine blew right right as the temps starting dropping at the start of winter. Before that everything had been fine.

 

bruce unfortunately im not in the union yet so it was not me working with you but on another note idont know if you remember me at atco drooling over those vettes but i priced them holy ***** there expensive so im 75% sure im getting a black 03 cobra

 

Hey I also have a 98 f150 with a 4.6, do they launch plugs?

PEaCE............................

 

Yes. This is why I bought a Bronco instead of an Expedition.....Oh yeah and the Bronco looks better. -Mat-

 

My bad then, Ryan.
Is this the Z06 you where drooling over?
