Man between this hot humid weather then the silly stuff breaking down or somthing causing me to work on stuff over the average . I can't get much if any shooting in .. .. by the nice late afternoon shooting times in spent ...

I got my Ford f250 sparkplugs just broke them all loose about a 1/4 turn and soaking in solvent ,/ penetration oil in the hopes they all come out without snapping in 2 .. small 1/4 turns at at time

Another brighter idea from ford ..lol

Have this on standby cart

So another hot day slowly working them out and hope no broken ones ..

Oh man I can relate! I have this week off and plan to get some airgunning (beside the pesting) done! Spent the whole day/night fixing my brother's lawn mower and mom's crv instead And it sure got toasty in Southern Ontario with humidity to boot. The newer Ford pickup sparkplugs be a nightmare.

Hit some spinners with the 362s. Missed them with the 760. Probably have to scope the 760.

Well this morning I turned the plugs a 1/4 turn or so stop go shoot some to let penetrating oil soak more then go turn a bit more again stop go shoot ..lol ..

Ya, I remember the good ol days when a car was designed and built for the people that bought them to use instead of cars today that are made to fit the government , google , and insurance companies agendas.

Try doing cam phasers/chains on the v6 F150......you'll quit your job and go flip burgers at Mcds . Im sitting on my back deck melting in heat, drinking cold coffee...Must have coffeeee!! Aired up my pcps last night in the AC gonna shoot some water jugs and car parts tonight! 18, 30, 57 FPE air rifles, and wrap up with .22LR and .17 HMR. Should be fun. Let me know how many water jugs you think an Mrd will go though @990fps/20Yards away!? Acura door will be shot @20Y as well and then 50Y for the 2 PBS.

I know what kind of ordeal you're having. I was the dispatcher in the repair shop for a Ford dealership for a bit over 36 years and experienced the drama of plug removal from Ford's modular engines. The extended electrode allowed carbon to build up and lock the plugs in the head. Broke off a lot of plugs in the heads!! Later design modifications helped but still was a tough go...especially in a flat rate shop!!

On the lighter side, I did score a head shot on starling at about 60 yrds. Should've got a picture but after thought beats fore thought most of the time. Oh well...

I thought that was just a 4.6l V8 problem. Sucks, but every vehicle has their issues.

The only time I’ve had lately that it isn’t raining or hot as heck, it’s windy.

Example

I’like to meet the guy that designed that engine so I could have the pleasure of laughing in his face and ask what bubblegum came with his engineering degree!

I don't even think it's a guy anymore .

Well a guy at a keyboard entering what the insurance companies and government agencies ( safety,epa, ect) decide on what they want you to drive then the computer spits out a load of crap but says it good they build it and force it on you to deal with after you dump what use to be a good life's savings on it ..


Anyway got her done . No codes , and got some late shots in after clean up and test run .. so I'm happy for now ..

I’m digging through used Airguns on gunbroker.com all kinds of interesting stuff and ordinary too, but the pricing doesn’t impress me much.
