    Well today after wrestling stopped at the gas station before I had to head to a firefighter training class. And went to pull away and had a major knock coming. So had my brother come pick me up. After the class we pulled it into the shop and turns out I blew my number 2 plug out of the block.
    So tomorrow I'm going to call some places and get it priced to do a helicoil to that cylinder.

    yeah it was running while i was inside then when i was pulling out like 10 feet from where i parked i stopped.
    also like 3 months ago i had my coil pack blow off and the plug was barry in the block on the same cylinder and a couple weeks ago i had a code for a misfire on it too. so i guess i kinda new something was up...

    but on the bright side i get to drive my brother 2009 f150 supercrew for about a week.
