Truck Advice Needed: Do I take the AR-15 and shoot it? Or what is the best fix?
Situation:
2005 F150 182,000 miles Used as farm truck; and to carry around 2 Great Danes Starting to rust out Ford Triton 4.6 engine Exhaust Manifolds need to be replaced on both sides. This repair was scheduled for first week of April. Wednesday.....Driving and heard BLAM!! Thought at first it was another spark plug/coil pack failure. Already have had two of those. Truck was shaking from the mis-fire; and loud as hell. NOPE. Mechanic called and stated that the smelly farm truck has this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Zb4vhyr5k Why the spark plug blew out of your Ford Triton engine. He wants $1,300 to fix spark plug retap and both manifolds. Good Price? Worth it? thanks! |

Cheaper than buying a new truck. Of course, this could be a good reason to get a new truck

Dumping $1300 into a truck with 182k on it seems like throwing good money after bad, IMO

I've had fun getting those studs out. Especially when someone breaks easy outs off in them

So 182K on a farm truck I would say that 05 Ford has done well for itself.
