| Description of the problem | Changing out spark plug at 65000 because an employee of a ford garage advised me to do so because of them getting stuck at 100,000 miles. I started to change them only to find the shaft below the threads of the spark plugs stuck anyway. I hauled the truck to boyd county ford where the service man stated that this was pretty common and that it would take about 500 dollars to fix. Well 1000. 00 dollars later they removed the stuck spark plugs and replaced them with some new ones. |
