No Furds in my future, gas or diesel!
Spark plugs should have been pulled at 60,000 and checked and use a powered wire brush to buff threads and a little anti sieze woked great.

just rebuilt a Ford romeo motor 4.2 just a fancy 302 with alum heads, worked like a champ

tires ? trans? thought the subject was the 6.7 scorpian motor?

but i like the cummins for being more simple
