yester day i was driving up too my girl freands house,( but i think i need too add that my engine light has been on for a wile now and i have been driveing 6 hour round tripes couple times in the last week with the light on) i know not smart....so i was not far from my house, and it started poping really bad so i skided into this littel turn out in the cayon. and i could not see anything wrong, so i called my dad and when i started it he told me that this thing was poping out(turns out that is the thing thats on top of my spark plug) well i did not know that at the time so i jamed a stick in there too hold it down. then i tryed too drive it home and it poped faster with the RPM's. then i finaly got it home....so today i look at it more and the spark plug was not threded in and now the plug is ****ed up and the mount for the coil thing that goes on top of the plug is broken off.....did i compleatly screw my truck by driving it.....how much is this part going too cost and what all should i do....thanks for any help i need all i can get

 

Is this a trick question?

Really, who put you up to this?

 

what i'm sorry it sounds dumbbut i just want some damn ideas

 

Find a mechanic who uses the timesert insert kit and have him fix the spark plug hole threads. Buy a new coil and spark plug and put it all back together. Here is a link to the timesert kit. http://www.timesert.com/html/triton_repair.html

alright thanks....but could it possibly of just came lose ovr time and come out or is it for sure that my treads on my head are ****ed...thanks

 

It's not for certain they are stripped, there have been a few people on here recently that have reported threading the plug back in just fine. Both of mine were pretty smooth though.

Welcome to the "club" BTW!

 

well thanks so i take it that this happens too everyone

As much as you drove it with the plug popping around in there, Id be willing to guess that the top threads are at least going to be messed up. I would go ahead and do the timesert.

 

yeah the treads are a little screwed up on the plug, and that metal thing that goes over the white thing has no gap at all it is compleatly smashed in...

 

These results are pretty darn typical.

 

C'mon man.....timeserts?

Couldn't you just find a little bit bigger stick, and use that?

I ain't buying none of this....

 

well if you dont by it thats fine...when i have time i will put up the pics

 

well here a pic...so just put you rfoot in your mouth now

 

I hope everybody from TAMPON, is not as big of a **** as your are give the guy a break he is just trying to get some info!!!!!!!!!!!
