Angry Blew spark plug wire out of head

Im pretty much stock. It sounded like an exhaust leak at first. Took it to ford and they said it would be a few days(Im under warranty and have extended, its still under standard warranty).

Bummer,

Yes it happens. Most of the time the plug goes with it!

But sounds like you got you hind end covered with the warranty!
Carefull what you say around here when it comes to warranty matters

It was towed to another Ford dealership because the one I brought it to "was not SVT certified". I asked him to make sure it was towed on a flat bed only to find out from a friend, who saw it going down the road, that it was not. Another L buddy told me to insist on new heads.

Make sure you check your underside of the front facia ...

Non-flatbed towing seems to always scrape that up ....

Its sad, but your right. Snuck into the bull pen at the "SVT" certified Ford and first thing I look at is the front bumper; The entire underside is scratched to hell. Oh yeah, my billet antenna was also bent at an unbelievable 45 degree angle. This just keeps on getting better and better. I speak with the guy at the first Ford who promised it would be on a flat bed and he tells me that I have to take it up with Ford Road Side Assistance and there tow company will call me

My truck's nose was all tore up when I bought it-they scraped the underside when they pulled the truck off the trailer. I knocked another $750 off for it.... That is tough, nobody will ever care as much for your truck as you do.

Also, your buddy is right-get the new heads.
