@Deleted User hey there brother, did you resolve the issue with your truck?

2017-10-15 02:45:10 UTC  

No. I havent had a chance to take it anywhere yet.

2017-10-29 02:14:59 UTC  

the wheels on my car get real hot and smell funny, is that because the wheel bearings need to be regreased or the wheel bearings are shot or what, they dont sound like theyre grinding at all. i think i need to bleed my brakes because the pedal goes all the way to the floor and it feels like theres no fluid pressure in there

2017-10-29 02:15:37 UTC  

i drive for like 15 mins and it smells like somethings burning and the metal on my wheels are super hot to the touch

2017-10-29 02:16:41 UTC  

@Brenten.Ryan-AZ weigh in for me on this if you can

2017-10-29 02:16:57 UTC  

no rush

2017-10-29 02:18:44 UTC  

Loaded did you recently get new wheels, or do any service on your brakes recently?

2017-10-29 04:45:24 UTC  

Yes i took off the wheels and took off the brakes to see why they were acting up, and put them back on just as they were since the pads were fine

2017-10-29 13:10:12 UTC  

Yea concerning the weird smell and excessive heat, I would pull those hub assemblies off and inspect them for pivoting and scortching. If there are any signs of either of those two replace both sides of the vehicle’s hubs.

For your spongy brakes check your fluid and bleed the air out of them if you are suspecting that there is air in the line. Check your lines and fittings for leaks as well.

2017-10-29 20:25:34 UTC  

Thanks ill start on that and see where i get hung up

2017-10-30 06:07:47 UTC  

@loadedbrush#4901 any luck so far bud?

2017-10-30 21:43:30 UTC  

No, ive got a feeling its gona be a whole can of worms so i havent cracked it open yet, gotta wrangle some funds together before i crack the egg and start taking things apart. just watched a few youtubes to get a plan of attack

2017-10-30 21:45:21 UTC  

my entire passenger underside of the car is covered in oil and it seems to be slowly leaking multiple fluids. i have to put a quart of oil in it every 10 or so days

2017-10-30 22:39:18 UTC  

Oh yea, that will be a bit of work. Lol

2017-10-30 22:39:56 UTC  

What kind of vehicle is it?

2017-11-02 20:20:04 UTC  

@Brenten.Ryan-AZ question for you my brother, have you ever heard of F150s "spitting out" spark plugs?

2017-11-02 20:30:16 UTC  

ooosh

2017-11-02 20:30:43 UTC  

Wouldn't that mean a whole lot of pressure in the heads?

2017-11-02 20:36:33 UTC  

I don't know, it would seem like the logical thing, or do they just back out? Which I would find hard to believe, because the fuel rail is over top the ignition coil.

2017-11-02 20:38:50 UTC  

Like, wiggle out?

2017-11-02 20:39:16 UTC  

I guess I could see that. After all you really just screw them in.

2017-11-02 20:40:25 UTC  

I bought a used F150, fleet vehicle as is. It had a code for the O2 sensor, so I bought it thinking that's an easy fix. So I swapped it out and no more codes. It's running a little rough so I thought spark plugs or ignition coils. Spark plugs are cheaper so I started to change them and I got to bank 1 plug 2 and it's tac wielded in. The others are fine.

2017-11-02 20:53:51 UTC  

Ah so you think prior owner welded them?

2017-11-02 20:54:29 UTC  

Yes sir

2017-11-02 20:54:52 UTC  

That's the picture I could get down inside that hole

2017-11-02 20:56:50 UTC  

On the right side is the tac. I was going to knock it off, but I don't have a stick welder if I need to tac it back in.

2017-11-02 20:57:23 UTC  

What if it means the threads were stripped?

2017-11-02 20:59:12 UTC  

Or cross threaded. Would retapping it fix it? I feel like that would make the plug to loose.

2017-11-02 21:01:06 UTC  

I've never run into this problem.

2017-11-02 21:15:28 UTC  

Yeah it's a tricky one. Do you have contact for the guy you bought it from?

2017-11-02 21:29:29 UTC  

What year is the truck? ‘99 and later?

2017-11-02 21:30:11 UTC  

If so, there were only 4 threads so they popped out every so often.

2017-11-02 21:30:55 UTC  

Ford has a special tap and dye kit specifically for that but it’s 600$ and generic tap kits won’t work.

2017-11-02 21:35:59 UTC  

@RevStench it is a common issue I have heard of with the 4.2 and 4.6’s

2017-11-02 21:39:38 UTC  

There you go, I have a 4.6. It's a 2010. Would a dealership be able to fix the problem? Or do I have to bite the bullet and buy that tap?
The truck is like brand new, and I got it for $7500 so I don't mind putting some money into it.

2017-11-02 21:41:18 UTC  

It would probably be cheaper and less time consuming to have the dealership take care it.

The heads have to come off the the kit in my opinion is too fucking expensive to have a one or 2 time use out of it.

2017-11-02 21:41:29 UTC  

*and the kit
