I just had to order a 5554 kit for my Stupid Ford. It decided it didnt like its spark plugs at 44000 miles.

So I dont need anyone telling me that this is a maintenance issue cause its NOT!!! It a HUGE DESIGN FLAW...

Just wondering has anyone else used the 5554 kit before and has anyone used it on a van

How much swearing am I going to be doing?

 

There is a design flaw. I will give you that. BUT, my ford spits the #1 plug every 60k miles. I put a new set in, and it doesn't spit another till 60k. Now, I see it as the truck telling me it is time for a new set.

So, how old is your truck? And are your slacking on maint?

(sorry, had to do it!)

 

sowhen it spits out the plug again what do you do does it just turn it self out or do you need to replace the insert again?

the Van is 2 1/2 years old

 

Never used timeserts...

I just put new plugs in when it spits and it goes another 60k.

I do have a bore scope, and, was worried about the spitting troubles. Checked the threads and all was ok.

I see it as my motor is telling me it is time for new plugs, and that has worked for the last 3 plug changes...

So, there you go!

 

Also, may I add, that when you are asking for help on this site, it is a general rule, that you add, make, model, engine size and year of the application one would be working on. It means a world of difference in a diagnosis. But, you need not be told anything huh? Just a tid bit for you to sulk about...

 

Man...sorry you purchased that kit already...I rent them for what I consider quite an awesome deal. I've been talked about on here. Sorry you didn't find it.

 

Unfortunately I needed it like yesterday. Well I Know that I need the kit since my plugs do not thread in there anymore. They just spin freely.

So What can you tell me about the kit is it a pain to do on a Van?
