Thread: Read my plug

Tweet

I've let my son use my truck for about 5 years, I keep the insurance on it and do some of the repairs and change oil. I can use it anytime I want, it's worked out good for both of us. Well to keep this short he had his hired man do some work on it and change the plugs which were really bad. It ran pretty good until about a month ago. No power, shaking all over the place and missing. A mechanic to us to put a new fuel filter on it... didn't help. So today I thought I'm either going to fix it or junk it. I pulled each plug, checked the gap, started it up without the plug wire attached to see if that cylinder was firing. I started with the rear one #6..... gap was at .021 and was in finger tight only, reset to .044. The rest of them were again only finger tight but had the correct gap EXCEPT for #1.
#1 was quite tight and really tough to get out because of a bracket over the top of it. Pull the plug, and ???????????????? no end on it. His cotton picken blankety blank hired man never changed #1 It takes quite a bit to tick me off but I sure was ticked off today.
I put a new plug it it and now it purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs like a kitten
