Re: 5.4 Triton Engine Owners Need To Know
My truck has just hit 80k miles and the check engine light came on like clockwork. miss fire #8 cylinder. Of course when I replaced the plug it broke in two pieces. The local ford dealer has tried twice using the special tool for this job (398.00 dollars later). No progress has been made. The Lead Mechanic called explaining my two options. ONE) tap the remaining plug threw and let the engine take chew the plug up and spit it out the exhaust or TWO) pull the head. I do not have the 2900 dollars to pull the head, and I know pushing the plug threw isn’t smart, but I’m left with no choice. I always do my own work on the truck (besides getting the plug out). Do you think I should pull the head myself or push the plug threw, take a shot of whisky and pray like hell I don’t mess anything else up? Any comments will help.
