What is the general opinion on way plugs come loose not tight enuf. To tight and stripped. Or certian type of plug?

 

Ally-
I've always heard/figured that it was because of the small number of threads actually holding the plug in place.

 

Why I don't know if my limited mechanical experience will allow me to work on such a sophisticated vehicle such as this. I really don't like to work on cars with fenders, or ones as heavy as these.
I don't think it, I know that FOMOCO could care less if you race YOUR L. AS long as YOU understand that THEY did not design it to be raced or modified and of course they will not warranty such practices.
Please explain how these trucks are a "different breed" than Fords other products?
Do you think that if you bought an Aston Martin Vantage ( a FOMOCO product) that they would warranty a modified or raced vehicle?

flashy light to tel me the plugs are loose....perfect.

You are so right, every word, even the ********ones right on!

 

Yeah!!! What whitetoast11 said!!!

 

Schit, I love this topic, FORD SUCKS, END OF STORY.

Sure we got the fastest truck on the planet, and quite frankly the fastest car too if you compare it to cars in the same price class.
Now I need to protect my investment. But I, like most, got a 3 YR bumper to bumper USELESS WRRNTY. If they wan't to *** with us, they'll find something to void the wrrnty (usually they do). If your like me, you just assumed you had a couple of good years without worry so you do the usual Mods to basically find out your on your own now, and the wrrnty is really gone. Then you find out there's a list a mile long of Known Issues from everything from a Motor, to Tranny, to Intercooler, to Interior, to Front End, to the Dam Windows. We wont even go into the dam noises, leaks, creaks, ticks, clunks, and gaskets.

Now on top of this "WE" have to worry about the plugs because some ******* that is suppose to be part of a Elite Special Vehicle Team can't tighten the ****ers before it leaves the plant. Or fix the clunk, or tighten the loose ground effects. THIS IS UN****INGBELIEVABLE, and outright BULL****. FORD OUGHT TO ****ING GO OUT OF BUSINESS FOR WHAT THEY DID TO US.

FORD OUGHT TO HAVE A RECALL ON EVERY GOD DAM HEAD OUT THERE, they should replace them with a new improved version, and they should do it no matter what Mod's we have.
IT PLAYS NO PART IN THEIR SCREW UP

 

NOW THATS VENTING AT IT'S BEST

Damn, WHAT04 I love that list, but it pretty much says it all. Looking at each one which has been beat to death on this and several other Lightning Forums for the past 3 years. Everyone should know what to look for on his/her truck by now, RIGHT?

Yall vent on, but ya still gotta do it, or ya Lightnin is going to give you nuttin but head pain.

 

Whitetoast11 and WHAT04, I am with you guys! Not that I'm bitter or anything. I won't get bitter til my L does the lurch on startup like some of you guys!

But you all were lucky - when my plug blew I was over 100 miles from home and it was like 2 AM. Ford would only tow to nearest dealer, so I waited 3 or 4 hours for AAA to show up. Rode in a flatbed that cut off every other mile (requiring towtruck driver to swerve onto shoulder under NO power with my precious cargo in back, until he could kickstart the engine and get it bucking again for another mile). I think I got home at like 6 AM. Worst night I can remember in a long time. Thanks Ford!

 

For all of you that bleed ford blue. Put you money $$ where your mouth is and support your dieing (black &) blue oval.

The scale is a whopping .20 cents!!!
And of course it finished DOWN. Maybe we should start a poll as to which Co. or maybe the US Gov (which is us) will bail them out. I only hope its not Hyundia or even worse Mitsubitchi
