Ok.... Here's the story... Last summer I had a mechanic do my spark plugs. He has done my dads truck in the past. Anyways, he broke 3 plugs, leaving the other 5 and leaving me with a broken one to fix myself. So I did that. Now this year I went to replace the other ones. I broke two and decided to tackle those first. Ran out of the loctite adhesive to remove the porcelain and the other plug still has the electrode sticking out of it but I can't get it out for the life of me. So I drove it a bit and it runs like a bag of crap but doesn't stall out.

Can I drive this truck for say 15 miles to a shop near my work (who does all our fords at work)? Am I going to do some series damage or all good? I'm hoping the broken pieces fly out in that drive haha... The point is that if I get there, I can take a company truck while mine gets fixed.

the fuel from the injectors will wash the oil off the cylinder walls. if you unplug the injectors for the cylinders with broken plugs i dont see why not.

I dont know if it will hurt your truck, but it sounds like a bad idea in general, but then again people do drive with a fouled plug. Im not telling you to do/or not to do.

A tow truck may be in order here. I know they are not cheap, but neither is engine damage.

Yup.... Tow it!!!!

Don't go back to that mechanic ever again either... He should never have let that truck leave until it was finished.

Well I made it haha.... didn't light the engine on fire from the unburned gas. Although I did partially expect that.
