Well she was. Not so good news today, currently sitting at an autozone about an hour from home with the cylinder 4 plug and coil in hand. I didn't take it out with tools...

First time or is it a failed repair? If it's the former get a timesert and keep her alive! If it's the latter just get a bigger timesert lol

Hope it works out for ya

Probably will do that, just trying to figure out how to get her home now. Can probably borrow a trailer from work, and my dads truck. Plugs last two threads are buggered up, but doesn't look like there is any aluminum on em.

Get a bolt with the same pitch and size and drive it home... or try and thread a new plug. I had mine blow one out, never found the plug, it destroyed the cop, but I put in a new one and it's still there 8k miles later. Dont forget to unhook the injector if you do the first thing.

Exactly! Use a real torque wrench, not a calibrated elbow.

Installed aftermarket steering wheel audio control on recently installed head unit.

Started cleaning the shop up..... and worked on the truck... exhaust in waiting for new axle shafts to show up this week then just need to button up the axle. Should be driving by next weekend.

Looks great 02, I don't think I've seen that exhaust hanger bracket separated from one of these trucks before. They usually rust pretty bad back there, wouldn't dare attempt taking a wrench to it....snap! lol.

What's up with the axles, the bearings chew them up a bit ?

I like the concept, but that's right where I rest my right hand while driving. I keep contemplating an Expy steering wheel for heat and controls. I just haven't been able to justify the cost and effort. (I also haven't seen good confirmation it will work and a write up to reference yet.)
