Well I knew my truck had a missfire.... Went to autozone to buy a spark plug and decided to get them to pull the codes while there. Turns out I had 4 miss fires, no wonder it was being moody. Got those changed went for a test ride and about got me in trouble with the wet roads! Felt good to be running on all 8 again!
However it's ridiculous to have to use this to change spark plugs.
Those spark plugs are a pain in the butt. The worst one I've done was an Econoline with 5.4 Triton, and it was a full conversion van, so the "Dog House" was carpeted and covered in fake wood trim.
That sucks! I've done them on this truck twice now, I did them about 3.5 years ago after I got it, I've also done them on my mother's old 2000 5.4 expedition.
However it's ridiculous to have to use this to change spark plugs.
actually thats not whats ridiculous... whats ridiculous is when you have to use 2 universals to get to the spark plug in order to change it... or using the socket in conjunction with a wrench because the fricken ratchet wont fit...

Rezvani's Latest Post-Apocalyptic Monster Is a Ford F-150 Raptor Underneath
I'm looking for a steering wheel for Ka'Bluey. Through the different owners, somebody put an aftermarket steering wheel on, and it's way smaller than the stock size. Truck does not, have tilt or cruise control.
I had a pretty good Christmas, a few box's of ammo for the wife's .380, and some .40 and a box of 30-06. Also a couple pairs of jeans and 5 or 6 new t shirts since I was looking a bit homeless in my old stuff since I've lost 75 pounds now.
We're heading out to Wake Forest later this morning. I found a 78 F150 that parting out, and he has the steering wheel that I want for Ka'Bluey, so now I can get that, and see if there's anything else I could use.
Went hunting this morning, then went for a ride down to topsoil island for a dinner with the wife's family. Put a nice little 130 miles on the bike for the first time in a couple weeks!
