splash cost me :(
About 2 months ago on a really raining day a just make a fun day going with my truck and ran over on every single water pond. Last week a huge misfire. Change all plugs and find this one ( rear one passenger side). Also 2 bad GOP. It take a PITA to take out.. I will need to stay home on raining days

doubtful its the puddle....the rear ones on a truck and the middle ones on a van catch the water that runs off of the windshield through that crack where the back of the hood meets the firewall. Its not a problem until you have a boot stop sealing on the COP and then you get to where you are now.
That has been my experience anyway. I have had people argue that there is weather strip there but its almost always those plugs on a truck that act up with water intrusion so that is what I believe.

if it was from the puddle you would have had a problem in an hour or two. rust like that says to me that it stayed wet for a long time. if you could improve your grammar it would be much easier to guess what exactly you are trying to say

all i know is that i do that all the time. drive through every puddle in town. once i accidentally (well, maybe kinda on purpose) soaked a guy on a scooter/moped... but he was acting like a jerk so... uh, what was i saying?
that rust was accumulated over many miles, and months, not a week.
also, KAJTEK1:
what engine do you have in your truck?!? mine never gets above 190-210 at the heads... lol. hopefully its not 600* or you would be in need of a SERIOUS repair

I replace all 8 with motorcrafth. The one with the rust was a autolite sparkplug. I heard bad things of this brand.

Lol. Motorcraft spark plugs and Autolite spark plugs are both made by the same company.
