I don't know any good mechanics in Garland, but ladies if you are having car problems in the mid-cities area I recently found an EXCELLENT shop that does the job right and for the right price. Needed some work done -- Christian Brothers $2100; Manufacturer - $1700; Shade Tree Mechanic - $1100; the new guy I found -- $400 and it is perfect!!!!!!

LOL - and he likes pretty ladies!!!!!

Yep that's one of Ford's fucked up better ideas . I remember when that spark plug design came out. You could only buy them at the dealership ,at 21 dollars a piece . Buy a dodge 350,000 miles only oil changes tires, and sparkplugs. Still gets 19 mpg.

I'm thinking salt water flooding after Hurricane Ike. If the plugs are that hard to get off, there could be some corrosion issues and nothing corrodes like salt water.

ALSO DO check the alignment and balancing before spending anything else. At a singl;e speed, this sounds more like an alignment/balancing problem than plugs.

Call me sweet thaing. Might be able to "splain" it better over the phone.

Miss you,

Stevie

Give me a pm if you need mechanic work. I own my own shop and have very capable mechanics. Even with those rear spark plugs.

1) Did you pay him with 'Biscuits & Mustard...umh' ? (had to see the movie to understand that comment)

2) Curious what did it take to fix it, not the cost or arrangements, just what fixed the problem(s)?

I dont think they tried to get them out. We got them out and replaced all the plugs and new boots. It should not have a problem for awhile. The main issue was on the other side. Intake leaking water on two other plugs. We fixed that also.
