Hello

Hello!! New to the group. I was referred by my father, Richard Arnold (hey daddy I know you'll be reading this ) anyway just introducing myself. My name is Sarah and my husband is Michael, we will be using the same account. We currently have a 2006 F 350 that is sitting pretty in the drive way not running. Daddy has (I believe) asked a few questions/suggestions on what may be wrong with it. Trying to decide what to do with it, It will not crank when hot. If you let it sit for 30-45 mins then it will crank. I will post another thread with some more information later. Fixing to hit the hay. Good night and look forward to meeting you all.
Sarah and Michael

Pull both valve covers and slam dunk a set of new (updated) dummy rail plugs at it and move on with life. You will need mostly 10 and 12mm sockets to remove both valve covers. A 7/16" deep socket for the passenger side (hot side) CAC tube clamps, and a 10mm allen key to remove the old dummy plugs. You will need a 12mm allen key to install the new dummy plugs (torqued to 60 ft-lbs.). The part number is -W302908 from your local Ford dealer. You will need two. Good luck and have fun.
