Almost $2k later, and 4 mechanic visits.....I am broke and back on the road. What a mess the last 2 weeks have been
:scooter
spark plugs break off in the ford? my f150 has been a black hole for $$$ since the day we paid it off.
what happened?
Visit 1:
8 of 8 plugs broke off on the tune-up
new serpentine belt
new fuel filter
trans service and flush
oil change
Probably other crap I have forgot
Visit 2
master cylinder failed almost causing me to wreck. Fluid had drained into the power booster
Visit 3
Developed a misfire
2 coil wires were bad
visit 4
developed another misfire, worse than the first. Truck stalled on me at red light and almost got plowed from the rear. changed other 6 coils
test drove. Still misfiring.....................
Luckily the lead mechanic is good and trouble shot it as a cracked plug(that was just put in 2 weeks ago)
SO, another set of plugs which is another 4 hours down(didnt get charged for that)
Now its running like a raped ape
I had a budget set to put into my truck and have gone thru it, and didn't even get to get into the suspension upgrades I wanted to
