I read those same threads. It convinced me not to get them off Amazon. I got mine at AutoZone. They were Motorcraft brand. I picked them up at the local store. I hope they were not knockoffs.
It was double and triple-checked, but without being able to see down in there how can we really know? It seemed to be seated good, I thought it was seated good. It felt like it was seated good...maybe it wasn't seated good. ??
The plug by the firewall was difficult to get reseated. I think I got it put back correctly. I have put 8,000 miles (plus or minus a few) on it since changing the plugs.
Shouldn't it have shown up as a misfire much earlier if it wasn't seated good?
I had the local AutoZone pull codes today as the Check Engine light has come on.
It threw up a P0300 which says it is a misfire. It also said to check the "Engine Valley Cover". I was not aware I had a valley, much less a cover for the valley.
From reading here, it seems several have had a...
My 2019 Lariat is at 107,018 and there has not been any major issues. I just changed my original plugs last month, brakes, regular oil changes and I have changed the EGR DPFE sensor twice. I got mine with 21k on it in May of 2020. It has run like a champ ever since I bought it. Now watch it blow...
Glad there were no major catastrophes for you.
Don't automatically assume you were the idiot. Unfortunately, today, people do mean and stupid things. It is possible someone loosened them to cause you a problem. It could be someone you pissed off or someone who thought you were the guy they were...
Is that all I need to do? She will be very good at helping me out with this. Driving fast and getting way to close to things is what she does best! :LOL: :facepalm:
I have found everything from $700 to $1800 in salvage parts. The Ebay listing says it is new OEM, but I am leery of buying this off of ebay and it being stolen from someone else. I may just bite the bullet and get the junkyard version and know it came from a wrecked one and has the Ranger...
This puts my truck in the same category as the YELLOW post at the gas station. She backed into it last week. And the garbage truck she totaled her car on last year. Somehow, I don't feel any better.
When I mow the grass I move my truck to the driveway to get the mower out of the garage. I did not bother to move it back to its normal parking spot when I finished mowing as it was late and supper was ready. This morning when the wife left for work, she backed smack into the back end of it...
It was not hard at all. Just a bit stuck, but nothing terrible. The worst part was trying to fish the rubber boot off the spark plug #2 after it came out of the spark plug socket. Thankfully my granddad left me his long needle nose pliers. Then some super glue held the rubber boot in for me to...
I waited till the suggested maintenance point and changed out the plugs at 105K miles. I asked for some anti-seize for the threads at the parts house when I bought the plugs. I trusted the counter help, won't do that again as they gave me boot protector grease. With the plugs out, too late to to...
I don't know if it is a symptom or if it is just coincidental and happening at the same time. At 104K and on the original spark plugs. Surely at some point those will need to be replaced. Are they causing the rough idling? I don't know, I am hoping for some wisdom from the great people here.
