no. 2 and 3 plug were loose

Hello all, changed plugs yesterday and guess what no. 2 and 3 on the pass. side were loose. You could take them out with your hand. and there was no noise comming from them before the change either. just wanted to put tr6's in. Boy Im glad I did. My truck is a 01 and job went pretty good with the aide of badboogernx and his new snapon plug socket and and 1/4 inch drive swivel socket for the coil packs. If you havent checked yours I deff. would.

WARNING Check Plugs

I changed the plugs in my 01 a couple of months ago, and also had a loose plug on the passenger side.

Everyone that hasn't checked their plugs, take "mr2x75's" advice and do so, before it's too late.

You would have thought that by now, Ford would check plugs before they send the trucks out the door

I also had a couple not tight and one reeeeeaaaaal loose when my truck was new

If you still have warranty and can de-mod. I would leave them loose and get the new design head?

What Mods, I have no Mods

(I may have a hard time explaining the extra holes in my upper manifold though)

Any way I can speed up the process ? I have had one spit under warranty, so they put the new head on it. I want two 03 heads damn it!
