Who's coming early to the DBBB Pre-event? I assume we can do the BBQ on sunday.
I will have my smoker working hard to knock out plenty of ribs for everyone. Nfish - 11-11-2014 at 07:49 AM

Replacing the fuel pump, spark plugs, and coil packs on my
F150 Saturday... If all goes well I'll try and make it. mecdave - 21-11-2014 at 06:01 AM

If your truck is a 5.4 between about 2003 - 2006, I strongly recommend you not try to change the plugs at this time. Wait until after the event. It
usually doesn't go well if they've never been changed before.
Feel free to email or U2U me for more details.

Dave,
It's a 2002 and I did em once before. Keeps sputtering and misfiring, especially in the 40-50 mph speed range.bugymangp - 21-11-2014 at 09:39 AM
Most likey the fuel pump hold off on coil packs bugymangp - 21-11-2014 at 10:39 AM
hey taper
one more thing try and get a motorcraft fuel pump.
i seen aftermarket ones go bad after a year or two.Taper123 - 21-11-2014 at 11:18 AM
On way back from lunch today check engine light came on. 0171 and 0174. This morning it cranked fine, but would not strat... turned the key off and
on a couple times and started normally... Really think the fuel pump is on it's last legs. Need it to start two more times.... :obugymangp - 21-11-2014 at 11:28 AM
Good luck let me know what happens
Be careful around gas I seen garages burn down
Working on fuel pumps with drop lights Taper123 - 21-11-2014 at 12:02 PM
Unlike the bbq Van is cooking on Sunday... that would be a Car-B-Que!

"Keeps sputtering and misfiring, especially in the 40-50 mph speed range. "
Coils can cause that too, but the 171 and 174 are lean codes. ie lack of fuel generally. Changed the fuel filter lately? Otherwise, yeah, it's the
pump.
Have a helper crank the engine over while you bang on the bottom of the tank to get it to start that one last time... if you're lucky.
Hey Glenn! Yeah, we talked shortly after y'all got hitched (still in my U2U). That's really great. So did you get your buddies car built too?Taper123 - 22-11-2014 at 10:21 AM
Pulled the bed and changed out the pump, strainer, and fuel filter. Ran good for the test drive... Now to finish the project so I can make it to
the bbq Sier_Pinski - 22-11-2014 at 05:22 PM
I'll see you all there tomorrow morning as well as Thursday. I'm just worried that my FWD car may get stuck in the sand trying to park considering it
just rained today. Either I park far up north in that developing neighborhood or I'll pray that one of you has a 4X4 handy to pull me out. :ptreblehook - 22-11-2014 at 07:24 PM
Should be down at SLP in the am (10:30-11:00ish)
Weather forecast : 80 degrees sunny sw 15 to 20
Van and family, Mark and his wife, Jeremiah, Steve Mc, Sier_Pinski, Laura and myself, are some that are committed for tomorrow . Anyone else chime in
