You tighten your plugs to 15 foot pounds? It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7.1 - 8.7 foot pounds, so there is no way you got them to 15 foot pounds without stripping every aluminum thread in the head.

You really are a MORON, I thought your comment about an import rear ending an F150 where the import car drives off and the F150 was on a flat bed was STUPID, but boy this one wins the cake.

Stick to your Chevy toy trucks…

 

spunick may want to leave and come back again as a new name if hes getting beat on by burt on only his second post.

yea i saw it. it was funny. can tell already he dont have blue in his veins talking bad like that.

 

I would agree...

 

im sorry you dont belive me but it's true i dont have to be a brainwashed person to use this fourm and no i did'nt strip anything so thank you very much

 

I haven’t washed my brain yet. Guess it is due soon, need to check the maintenance schedule and see if it’s been 300 hours. I know, it is not recommended until 500 hours, but I am a bit **** with routine maintenance and all.

It is great you didn’t strip the aluminum threads. It’s always good to be working with a torque wrench that’s calibration is off by quit a bit.

Oh, and you welcome…

 

although you seem to think your quite a guy and im very happy you amuse yourself i came here not to be a petty little bitch like you but to use this for help and support i have owned many different brands of cars and trucks and all have had there little problems BUT it seems there are many problems with the 97 and newer fords that ford does'nt want to admit to i have had quite a few since i got my 99 f150 i am 42 years old and don't need little smart *** comments if ya don't have anything nice to say than keep your piehole shut and most every tread i have read since the begining say's 7 to 14 foot lbs so tightening with a 6in extenion on my 3/8 beam wrench i figured it should be good now if any real good person who works at a dealer or is a real mechanic wants to tell me to redo my job i will be happy to do it over allso i am a mechanic with my own service truck one of the best at my workplace i fix stuff for other mechanics so if ya got the stuff bring it on otherwize shut the hell up thanks

 

First, it is Mr. Smartass to you, thanks…

Second, you come on here and your first post is nothing more then “knocking” Ford. The comment about some import car rear-ending a F150 where it ends up (in your words) the import drives off, no one hurt ect, but yet the Ford has to be put on a flat bed.

Sorry but as far as I am concerned (without proof, pictures news write-up) I do NOT believe that one for a minute. The back of an F150 is basically FRAME, means metal, strong metal. The front of just about ANY car/truck is not much frame but CRUSH zone which is meant to protect the driver by absorbing the LOAD of the crash. Therefore if something hit the back of a truck, any truck be it Ford, Chevy, Dodge, GMC etc, is not just going to drive off, especially if it hit so hard that there is a need to put the truck on a flat bed.

Second, if something did hit that hard and is a newer vehicle (I believe early 90’s on) the air bags would have deployed making it a “real” accident where most likely the police would have showed up. They would not let someone drive off in a car after the air bags have deployed because of safety issues etc. I could be wrong on that one, but feel pretty confident that I am right.

As far as plugs and 7 – 14 foot pounds to tighten, I find that hard to believe, that is a HUGE range and with the heads being aluminum it would be a much TIGHTER range then that. Two reasons that I know can cause heads to blow plugs (besides few threads a Ford design flaw) is plugs to loose in the threads, and more important over tighten where the threads have been stripped or severally weaken.

So far, with my other comments was from two posts you made that really didn’t say much at all. Wasn’t really looking for any real assistance except to somehow knock Ford. That being the case I called you out on it because unless you have real concerns or something to add you seem like a troll here for nothing more then to **** people off.

Does Ford have their issues and problems with trucks? Yes they do, like all the other manufactures, but for some reason Ford sales more trucks then all the others, and you see more Ford trucks on the road then all the others. I don’t have any problems with someone complaining about Ford, but not in the first post with nothing useful and especially so unbelievable as a truck being on a flat bed because some import rear ended it.

 

 

the frame bent down so the box was hitting the cab the airbags were blown on the import but it was moveing off to the side and maybe the people in the truck did'nt have there seatbelts on and were injured there were ambulances and cops on the site i did'nt come here to start trouble but you thew the first stone if ya are ever in chi town look me up will get it right face to face im done with your crap have a nice life

Second quote:

See a difference there. First one states “the import drove away the second quote states ” airbags were blown on the import but it was moveing off to the side” That is a whole lot different then “driving off” If the air bags were deployed that means the import had a LOT of front end damage. I am also willing to bet the import was “totaled” by the insurance company with that kind of damage. Them little imports can not take much of an impact especially from the rear-end of a F150.

 

Burt,

I hope pack of fuzzy kitties mauls your *** You're such a meanie

 

Look who's talking now, I seen some of your post to someone up North...
