[QUOTE="01vert, post: 8271660, member: 15873"] Have you tried to thread the plug back in by hand? Sometimes they strip the threads and some times they just back out of the threads and can be salvaged without rethreading. Dont try a dealership first. Try a place that works on trucks, places that work on Ford trucks will be familiar with this. The need to install a threaded insert, I believe the one that is commonly used is a timesert. Runs around 300-400 max. Call around and find a place that has done this before so they have the tool for it. Prices can vary by a bit for this too so watch out. A dealer will want to replace the head for something like $2k usually. [/QUOTE]
