- Have some problems with the truck, trying to troubleshoot it. Feel stuck at the moment. I am sure many will have some ford chevy comments but to be fair this truck is getting to that age. Will get over the few setbacks and move on. :)

On this channel, you will find a lot of how-tos, shared experiences, recipes, and videos of things we are trying and learning more about.
So still wondering how did it turn out
Hang in there buddy! I wish I had some advice for you. I think it's wise to have the dealer take a look at it. Hopefully they get it all sorted for you. Great video none the less. 👍
I bet your wood hauler runs ha ha thumbs up
Hell ya CHEVY! lol
Thanks Eric for being real! You found the problem, pay the dealership 😣 replace them all. Hang in there, keep us posted 🙏
Hang on young man Your effort is not all lost. Ford plug removal is an issue good luck
Eric best bet to change all of the plugs, had the same problem on my Expedition w/5.4 engine.. Over 50k trying to get those plugs out on a Ford engine, never ends well...God Bless...Chief..{NYS/ADK}
Sorry to hear that bad news about the truck. Good luck with the spark plug issues. I know you will get it fixed. Looking forward to part 2 of this and how you fixed it. Thanks for sharing
It's why I recommend Chevy trucks with gas v8s. The ls engines are very easy to work on and reliable.
You can get a low cost code reader that's blue tooth for 40 bucks.
I would guess it the ford module engine that blew a spark plug threads coil out.
Stick with firewood. You could do more damage by disconnecting plug wire to find a miss !
Try 14mm socket. It is smaller by .011 inches. I don't know if it is metric, but I will bet it is.
Really the biggest problem is you’re not driving a dodge. I’m just kidding. We know they’ve all got their own quirks and problems. Hopefully this will be it and your truck will be sorted out for awhile after this. I know from experience working on vehicles in the cold sucks.
lol, didn't see that one come. Love it
Cost us $3000 to get the heads removed and machined hopefully you got rid of it before the cam fasers went out of it also!! Don’t ask me how I know that!!!
Doesnt matter if its a ford,chevy or dodge cold weather will bring out any problems with weak components
We have a 2005 F150, 5.4l that had the exact same problem. It's likely sparkplug/injector issue; take it to Ford, they have the right tools! Guaranteed you will break a plug! Need an extractor kit. I am a Ford guy but HATE the Triton engine!!!!! Good luck. I took my truck to Ford, she runs like a dream now.
I own an 05 5.4 3v and have done all the typical 5.4 things, plugs, cam phasers, oil pump, timing components. Message me if you have any questions. I know a lot about them.
I had the Ford Triton engine. Same problem. I finally had a mechanic replace all tbe plugs.It's a common problem with that size engine. It probably saved me money in the end. I think your on the right path. Curious how it turns out.
So sorry about this brother.
But I think your right; have Ford change out all the plugs and use the anti-seaze.
The only other thing would have been to try a hammer drill back at the house.
Good luck and God bless.
Yep chevy or ford To behonest i drive older chevys cause they are easy to work on. And my 94 gmc has 410,000 miles and still running good starter,alt,couple of tension pullies and of course rebuild on tranny.
Plugs and coilovers isn't a cheap job on that truck. Could be $1000 pretty easily. Good thing is it only needs done every 100k miles. What I've seen on these is to use penetrating oil and then an impact once it's hot. That said, I'd be nervous to do it myself. Those 5.4s are great motors, but plugs is their big failing. Bite the bullet and do them all at once, at the dealership or a local shop.
Most likely your coils, had the same problem with a shutter when driving 40-50 mph at low rpms, that is when the coils work the hardest. I love my fords but the coil over plugs have always been an issue
I have a friend who is a mechanic at Ford and he changed all my plugs and coils for me, he does the scheduling and pricing at a Ford dealership and said he just quoted replacing plugs and coils and price was $1600 for labor and parts, I bought the plugs and coil packs off internet for $100 and took him and his wife out for dinner, so I got a good deal, I hope you don’t have to go the dealer route because it is super expensive, good luck
Great video. You do not want to break that plug off. If you can't get it I would take it to the dealership or trusted mechanic. I would recommend having all the plugs replaced and then start saving money to buy all the coils within the next year or so. I got a 2003 5.4 that I want up replacing them one at a time which I should I replace them all at the same time and save myself some time.
I would also look into the lockout cam phasers. The 5.4 3 valve is notorious for having the cam phaser go bad and destroying the motor. I just talked to a friend yesterday that is putting his second motor in his 2004 f150. Hope this helps and have a great day
There is a fellow Mn y.t.er that could use some help Chicken Wired. He was hit by a car and broke both legs.one arm.Hoping you and your followers mite be able to help out with prayers or ? He only has 896 subs. Thanks.
good day to you Eric & Family !! thanks for sharing your adventures and update on & off the farm 🏡🏗️🛠️
not sure if your able to but time to trade it in. the 5.4 3v is not a good motor, lots of issues. every manufacture has its issues but the timing chain, cam phasers, 2 piece plug design and the carbon build up between the tight tolerance of the plug in the head = money and headache. most of the time the plug will come apart in 2 pieces. the threaded part will come out but the tip stays in the head and that's what has to be drilled out. ive heard and tried many different ways to get them out from spraying water in the intake to create kind of a steam to try and break up the carbon, hot engine , cold engine, pb blaster, kroil, etc. ive had more luck with a 3/8 impact and hot engine than anything but there is no for sure way. id say try ur luck, if its gonna break its gonna break. good luck
If you own a Ford go to FordTechMakuloco on UA-cam.
They make a special tool to get the broken plugs out which will break because of the aluminum heads and steel plugs bind together after they are heated
Yeah not a good design with threads narrow and deep. Well if someone is going to have the answer it would be this person channel. ua-cam.com/users/FordTechMakuloco Hope it helps. I'm pretty sure he has gone over this issue. My book says this is not emission related as many would say, "rush to meet emissions" , something to be said about completion and also to be said about taking the time to do it right. We are so competitive today that we are unable as a Human race to sit down and actually make it right and long lasting. Just imagine the possibilities if we all sat down and worked together. We are all so busy doing a one up and in the end net loss. We need a new program and trust me I know it is not coming anytime soon.
I have learned with newer vehicles to just pay someone to deal with the headaches for you
Defently Ford🤘🏻
When my luck with fords ran up I purchased a GMC and have never looked back I believe this is the moral to your story. From watching you from your start I’ve learnt your smart and like smart things therefore the ford must go !!
Bring on the spring !
Best of luck
Keep your chin up it will get better
These plugs are famous for breaking off in the head ! Probably save you alot of stress to have a shop do it .i dont know how attatced you are to the truck but the 2005 3 valve 5.4 tritans engines are not fords best . Id look to trade for an earlier model like a 97-03 good luck ! I like your videos
Yeah I agree with you James them three valves are not a great motor and a pain to get the plugs out too
Time for the dealer
Wish I could help man...but I feel your pain. Changing plugs on an old ford I used to have required a blow torch and an impact. Was not fun cause I fully expected to ruin the head in the process...I definitely like the idea of making them eat their own dog food!
I keep getting error code POS on all my stuff!
lol
Put new spark plug leads on as well
Spark plug leads? Its coil over plugs
Coil boots
I just had the same problem with my 5.4 couldn't get the plug out and bit the bullet went to the dealer and had them swap all the plugs. 3 stripped turns out they where probably originals. Although I never had the code that would have been nice for a starting place.
Let us know the results ASAP WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM 2011 Ford Taurus just started yesterday weird
I done front hub, rack and pinion, all PS line, then week later fuel pump modulator.. Now a new intake manifold and new plugs and now a ABS light is on.. All this is 8 months
4.6 f150
Ole Andy Griffith quote from the freezer episode that I always stick to when it comes to engines...."just call the man"!!!
LOL, sorry, with battling codes on two vehicles its nice to hear others are struggling. The biggest plus on any work is having a warm good place to work.
Hey Eric, sorry to hear about the truck troubles. Wow, I think I was at that same parts store the day before exchanging a battery. I had my 5.4 Triton spit out a spark plug on a road trip a few years ago and I was darn lucky to be able to get that spark plug to thread back in working with what I had with me along side the road. Usually working on your vehicle along the road or in a parking lot never goes good. I think you should maybe have the dealership do the job as much as I know you'd like to do it yourself. At least you tried, it's usually what I do first also.
I feel your pain my friend. As you mentioned and others here, I would change all the plug. If you have the Ford garage do it, they will have the right tools. Anxious to hear how this turns out.
Blessings.
Best of luck to you. I ran my '03 f150 up to 347k miles before I traded it In on a new one. At 20k it blew a spark plug out of the head and Ford replaced that head under warranty. After that it was all on me. I carried the extractor tool and the inserts, but never had to use them.
But I did have to replace my fair share of coil packs. I got real good at replacing them too. As soon as I would feel the miss I would find an auto parts store with a scanner and figure out what cylinder was missing. I kept a spare coil and an 8mm wrench in the glove box and in less than a half hour I was back on the road. Then I would go back in the auto part store and get a coil pack to replace the one in my glove box. I've had 3 other f150s since the only problem I have with them now is the price.
Eric I have a 2002 f-150 with the same issue you are having. Here is my disclaimer 😀 I am not a sissy kind of gal but actually am a trained by Uncle Sam aircraft mechanic which I did for 10 years. So I’m not speaking out of ignorance. On the assembly line a human did not put those plugs in so you will probably not be able to take them out like we used to do. My recommendation is to bite the bullet and take it in and have them remove ALL the plugs and replace them by HAND. If they will just remove them and let you replace them, do that. Changing only one means you will be doing this over and over. After one going out on me I changed all the plugs and coils together so I’d not be dilly dallying with them all one at a time. PS Let me end with “I love my Ford” and I believe in preventive maintenance. I’ll say a prayer on keeping the cost down. I have full faith in you getting this done.
I feel your pain! My 2004 Chevy Blazer suddenly lost power on the way back home from town going down the interstate. I managed to get it home and was able to plug in my code checker which said it was the Mass Air-flow sensor. Got some MAF cleaner but that didn't help, so replaced the unit. That got rid of the MAF code but the engine still didn't have any power & the service engine soon light was on. Ended up bitting the bullet & took it into the local mech. & had him check it out. $501.00 later it runs fine. Turns out the CAT converter had failed/became plugged & needed to be replaced. There went the tax refund check, ouch! :-(
Hi Eric, did the dealership get it fixed for you? I sure hope so. Best of luck with your truck hopefully all goes well with it!!
I'm seeing this a bit late, but wondered whether a longer cheater bar would help you with that? I can certainly understand where you don't want to break it off though, but sometimes just a quick pull with a bar that has more leverage might help.(bike mechanic here) Although many might disagree with this, I'll pass along something that a local mechanic shared with me. He is the head mechanic of an oil delivery.repair companies vans... so he has seen all models of vehicles and his suggestion to me was " stay away from Ford." I know that there might be lots of other folks that disagree with that, but you can take it for what its worth. I hope that by now you have everything resolved! Thanks for sharing!
I found that on that model/engine when one goes it is just best to replace all of the plugs, coils, wires. This occurs on the newer 3.5L Ecoboost as well, but you can get the plugs out. That engine with the turbos puts out a LOT of heat and ends up cooking the coils/wires.
I haven't watched yet but I never owned a Ford that didn't give me problems. Maybe they were to old or something I don't know. Now on to the video.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG!!!!! There are a lot of shops that refuse to do sparkplugs on that engine. Take it to the dealership and pay the big $$. They will probably make you sign an agreement up to $1000 flate rate to remove broken plugs. Also, was the coil boot wet when you removed it? Your original problem is probably a leaking intake manifold at the thermostat. Very common problem on the 5.4 3v.
Is that the Triton V8? When I got mine with the 5.4L I made sure the spark plug job was done before I ever handed cash over. I have heard nightmares about them.
This sounds like the best advice ever
@@LifeinFarmland Yeh when I read about the problems with the Triton engines, mostly the smaller one I made sure I got the bigger 5.4L and made sure the dealer already did the plug and coils before I handed over my cash. Now mine has the infamouse passenger side oil leak but I have it on the market now anyway so I am not going to bother replaceing the head gasket. My advice to you. if you can get rid of it. I know it's a huge decision, they are great fun but also can bite you in the but. I picked up a 2018 RAM 1500 with the 5.7L in it and love it. I should have a couple of videos of it on my channel I think.
@Edward Diekhoff Yeh I spoke with a Ford Tech on the subject and was disappointed to hear Ford knows well about the problem but dose not seem to care.
Its disappointing and frustrating for sure .. but hey, you did the best you could and new when to quite. Not to mention you made an interesting video about it. Kind of inspires me to fix my crown vic now. I was going to just scrape it but a little part of me wants to try and see if I can get it running again. It still might have some life left in it.
When it rains it pours never fails hope everything works out well
Sorry you couldn't get the answer you wanted. Sometimes life deals us something that we don't know what to learn from it until several years down the road.
I know the feeling - been there many times myself!
Plugs and ignition modules on all cylinders
That’s a Ford for ya.
I'm not familiar with US trucks as we don't get many of them down here in New Zealand, but something that works on Australian Fords with aluminium heads is to spray WD40 or equivalent around each plug so the plugs are sitting in a bath of the stuff. As the fluid evaporates or penetrates keep topping the fluid up. When you top up try working the plug back and forth gently with the plug spanner. Eventually the plugs undo a bit at a time. It's always worked for me but first time it took a week to get all the plugs out. Good luck.
Wd40 is not a penetrating lube. All it does is displaces water.
I have a handy $5 inline spark tester from Harbor Freight that saved me a ton of headache. It has a sight glass with a light bulb to verify electricity passing through. One end plugs inside the coil then the other end goes on the spark plug, just to test if you have spark to that plug. If that spark plug isnt the issue, you could save the entire can of worms.
Good luck brother, you've got this!
Oh I was looking for one. The auto store didn't have one. That is super handy to know. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Good luck. Always and I mean always use anti seize on steel to aluminum connections.
What a bummer having to deal with that Ford dealership! Sorry you are dealing with truck problems, wish i could help. Usually brakes are what i have issues with, id probably just throw a cheater bar on that and say my prayers. But you are doing the right thing, let it be their headache
oh boy you make me nervous. :)
Chin Up , you’ll get it done.
If its not to late try using a 50/50 mix of transmission fluid and acetone for a penetrating oil it works better than any off the shelf stuff.
I am going to need to try out this recipe. Thank you!
Try metric on it? Probably best to get the dealership to change plugs and wires and fix it forward.
There are no spark plug wires, its coil over plug
yeah, i tried to get a 13 or 14mm on as well thinking the same thing. No luck. Fantastic tip
Insert Dodge vs. here also. Lol. This is not brand issue as opposed to a modern vehicle issue. To many emissions requirements on modern vehicles.
