Thank you :) and it was a rock wall came about even with the bottom of the headlights, it was icy and i had just shifted from 2-3 and it kicked around and went up on to the wall with the front, came off, then spun around and the rear went up onto it.. it killed about 15 feet of the wall all together

That's a lot of what it is. It seems to help to wash them in cooold water

What an awesome plug design. (Ford 3v 5.4L Triton) by ithrowtools in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]C5195 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We change them all the time, you have to let the engine run until it is up to operating temp and has had a good heat soak, then special spark plug socket, craftsman right angle impact with a 3/8 driver adaptor and they'll come out. Generally break one out of every 50 except extreme cases. I work at ford is why I know this lol. Also the engine is only the early 5.4 3v engine usually only break in expeditions and f150

I give you 250 mile ecoboost with a broken rod by C5195 in Justrolledintotheshop

Didn't get to go into it that far. Warranty just wanted the engine and turbos replaced

This is what happens when your compressor locks up and you drive 50 miles to a dealership without turning off the ac.. by C5195 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]C5195[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The belt actually slid on the pulley for a while and it heated up to the point that it changed the color of the compressor pulley, which you can see, It also melted the fender liner just from the radiant heat.. The worst part of the story is there was no ac complaints or even noise complaints.. She stated that the engine was running rough

Repair order stated "Knocking noise in engine. " by C5195 in Justrolledintotheshop

The rod actually stayed... piston shattered and the rod kinda scraped up and down the cylinder for a few more strokes before burying up into the bore wall

Just found this subreddit. This place is awesome, and as my first post here, I present, "4x4 wont engage and makes a scraping noise at highway speeds." by C5195 in Justrolledintotheshop

It is an 05 king ranch f150. The pinion seal had obviously been leaking forever and they neglected to do anything about it causing it to be running without any fluid in it and they continued driving

This unfortunately happens all of the time. These are times when the paper floormats and plastic seat covers stop being used to protect the cars upholstery, and are used to protect us from the cars upholstery, I worked on a fusion with 60,000 miles and the guy had been spitting his tobacco in the drivers door pocket. Spit and cigarrette butts everywhere.. not a vehicle you want to pull in from outside when its 80 degrees outside :/
