Arrgggghhhh!

Sunny Beach, Sheet. I am so mad right now i could spit! Dammed truck blew yet another motor! (Not my fault this time!) Apparently they have had problems keeping spark plugs in them and I got a motor that had said problem. I knew there was a reason I hated gas motors! Not in the best of moods right now.

In the process of talking to Troyer performance right now about maybe building a motor for me to handle what I want to do. Then I wouldn't have to worry about it so we shall see....

So as of right now I am driving around on 7 cylinders!


GRRRRRRRRRR!

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.


If it makes you feel any better, I've been driving on 6 and half since April.

They are all a curse, but we can either live with them, or die fighting them, or both.

Everbody always talks about a diesel F-150. Usually they're talking a 6, but an 8 would be SO much better. lol And with 570 ft-lbs in a light truck, you wouldn't have to soup it up at all. ROFLMAO

Hey Doc, There is redesigned heads that takes care of this problem. The old ones have like 4 threads in the plug holes, new ones are threaded all the way. Dont know the part #, but I will do some research.
