- 97 Mounty
Was changing plugs/wires on my 97 mounty and the collar for plug 3 spun right off Luckily the rest of the plug just pulled out, but then again I was not that lucky..
I pre-soaked them with blaster for three days and all the rest came out no issues.
I cannot get it out to save my life, tried heat, MORE blaster, 2 ft breaker bar etc.. nothing. I broke 2 twelve point sockets on the #5 extractor, tried a #6 for grins no joy. Finally snapped the #5 extractor. Even broke the damn shock taking it off.
Anyway, I am frustrated to say the least. she has close to 190K but ran like a champ before this. I am not going to pull the head so unless someone has a "miraculous" fix I am probably going to have it hauled off, which brings me to why I posted here..
She has practically new tires Firestone All terrains (I will get the model/size when I get home) New starter and Solenoid. If any members are in the Northern Va area (Stafford) and need new tires come on by and I will swap the tires/rims out with you. No need sending it to the bone yard with like new tires on it (wish they fit my Expedition) because I doubt I would get any more for it from the junk yard anyway. Same with Starter/Solenoid.
Its a 97 5.0 AWD (6/96 build date, GT40 heads, non-dpfe EGR system)
PM me if interested.
