2008 v10 spark plug issue
Truck is a 2008 f550 v10 auto 4x4 290xxx miles.
I was replacing the plugs, and the last one broke off where the hex head meets the threads. The threads are left in the head. I was able to get the porcelain out. I used the Lisle tool and got the cup out also leaving only the threaded part of the plug in the head. I have tried heat, oils, extractor sets and this thing is stuck good. Given the milage should I just pull the head and fix just that hole? Replace just that head with a new one? Replace both heads for Ballance? Or new engine? It's the back hole in driver's head. It ran perfectly, but it does tow heavy all the time. Thanks.
